Neat as a pin and done by hand. I wish he had kept those. They were those huge flared jeans as well.Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-4296981862266730492014-01-18T07:30:34.466-05:002014-01-18T07:30:34.466-05:00Wow.

Wish I could get ahold of my teen's jeans now to cover up some of those raggedy holes that are so "in" now. Lovely winter scene. I love it. Never miss an op to go out when the snow is newly fallen...like this morning. Have a great day! And kudos for being Random 5's first post this week.

I am sorry to hear you got more snow. I'm crossing my fingers that snow holds off here for as long as possible. <br />I don't patch my jeans because most of the time mine are ripped at the bottom hem because I can never find jeans that aren't ten miles to long so they drag a little when I walk.Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587867197850064349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-68184255708028840372014-01-17T16:37:38.458-05:002014-01-17T16:37:38.458-05:00My swing is completely drifted over with snow - no...My swing is completely drifted over with snow - no sitting there until maybe June!
