Picture it…a couple weeks ago, right as we are hit with a horrid cold snap with tornado type wind, the zipper breaks on the hood to my giant puffy coat. I bought the coat just a couple months ago but I no longer have the damn receipt.
After a few days of suffering with an itchy wool hat (and hair thus ruined for the entire day) I get the brilliant idea to pin the hood back on with safety pins. (Go me!)
This was no easy task; I carefully shoved each pin through the down fabric, being sure to hide the pins.
Ta da! It worked like a charm too.

| look ma...no visible pins |
Imagine my horror, when I hung the coat on a hook in the dentists’ office I see THIS:

| No wonder people were laughing at me |
I had been going around like that for 2 weeks!
A senile bag lady , yep, that’s me.
p.s. perhaps that's why my second visit to the dentist was "no charge"
P.s. 2 and on that note ,I am thrilled to say that my frekin pain is nearly gone. I love you antibiotics!
I'll get caught up with ya'll soon!
Happy Tuesday!

I am so happy that you feel better! And I think the safety pins added a nice little shiny touch. :)
No sweat! Just tie a scarf around your neck OUTSIDE your coat. I think they make some stuff that GLUES stuff together just like sewing. Mighty Mend or something like that. I used it once on a chair cushion and it worked well. How are you doing with your Kindle? Download INVISIBLE, An Ivy Malone Mystery. Its free and its good. (from Amazon)
Maybe you'll start a new trend - post punk rock style safety pins. :) Hey at least your hood stays put.
