I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Who knew?

 

As always, my better ideas come from someone else – usually one or two favourite blog authors who generously share their projects.  In this case, an idea for a stocking filler, in the form of shoelaces.

Thinking about this and carefully considering the potential of this great idea before I dive in and make fifty pairs of laces, I read the comments and further ideas as well.  That’s where I discovered the word aglet.

Isn’t it fun to learn a new word?  I wonder if I can drop it into conversation sometime today?  ;-)

who'd have thought there was a whole website about shoelaces. The wonders of the web.

Wow, what a great idea, shoelaces! I've heard the word 'aglet' before, but didn't remember what it meant. I love words as well....I have a topic on my blog for 'words'!

My latest two are crenellation & castellation...
