I look around my house and almost everything is either thrifted, curb picked, upcycled or horked* from my mom’s house. Chomp!

It’s never going to happen, so you might as well enjoy the goofy looking repair. Perfection is an unattainable goal and to aspire for it is a futile effort.
Unless you look closely, in which case it looks like some hungry fellow came and took a chomp out of it.īut here’s the thing, It’s okay for your stuff to not look perfect. The start to finish fix took maybe ten minutes and the cushion is now back in the backyard and the repair is barely noticeable. My goal wasn’t the perfect repair, I simply wanted to limit the damage and keep the cushion in circulation. So I brought down my sewing kit and got to work. I needed to repair it before it got any worse. It came to me a few years ago from someone’s curb and was in perfectly acceptable condition, until this week when a squirrel nibbled a chunk out of one corner. Sure we could replace instead of repair, but that way lies financial insolvency and environmental irresponsibility. Whether it’s our appliances, clothing, furniture or household goods, it seems like there’s always something to fix. Do you ever feel like you’re on a never ending hamster wheel of repairing your belongings? I know I sure do.
