WFMW: Clothes basket fix

I have a wicker laundry basket that I was given as a highschool graduation present, which
means that it has been around for a while. :-) It also was falling apart. But if you know me, I hate to waste things and I hate to just throw things away if there is possibly any life left in them. So a couple nights ago Megan and I got busy and fixed it!

I took raffia and wound it all around the top while holding the fallen of wicker in place.

TADA! Now it is sturdy and ready to use for quite a few more years I hope! I am quite happy to have prevented one more thing from heading to the landfill! Fixing it Works for Me!

Mendi

Asalam Alaikum,

I really like Mendi, it has the fun of a tattoo but it only lasts at the most a couple weeks. Here is a very simple mendi design that one of my SIL made for me on the Eid-




When in Pakistan for my Sister-in-Laws Nikah(wedding) every woman in the family had mendi. The Bride herself had mendi that went past her elbows and also covered her feet(even the sole was covered in a checkerboard pattern. Her mendi lasted for about a month, and everyone else had mendi that only lasted a week. The type of mendi used can really affect the length of time before it wears off, with the more expensive mendi lasting for a very long time. If you ever have the opportunity, it is something really fun, and if you end up not liking it it will eventually come off!

Glimpses of Jackpine

Ken at his "office". Always work to do!

Hair getting fixed by Grandma.

Blokus, a game we learned and enjoyed while there.Fun times with Christy, Kent and Kade.

The girls tried their own version of the game.

Some sweet and tired (and dirty!) kids. One mama with limbs falling asleep too!

Bea snuggled up on Auntie Keren's lap after trying to cuddle up with my bunch but couldn't quite get comfortable. We were taking care of the 3 oldest Edwards kids too. (The whole family couldn't come as Gregory was pretty sick.)

Keren and Matt doing dishes.
Brandt had some good sermons from the book of Jonah.
The boys played in the fire a lot during services but when a question was asked you would find out they were really listening too.
Time to pack up and go home.

Thanks be to God for the wonderful weather, the good messages and singing, yummy food and fun times with friends!
