mending: when you buy it at target

20130113-222120.jpg

I had planned on making this Hello Kitty crochet hat for my daughter for Christmas, but when I saw something similar at Target, I decided to buy it instead. It was a decision very unlike me. After all, I’m the one who made an Angry Bird last year!

Of course, after just a few days of wear, Hello Kitty lost her bow. It was barely tacked on with the tiniest of thread. Luckily I noticed before it was lost forever. I guess that’s what happens when you choose store bought over handmade. Lesson learned.

  1. YAY! Mom to the rescue!

    My daughter had a dress when she was little and when I washed it the first time ALL 12! BUTTONS FELL OFF!!! I though “I can do better than ready to wear!”
