Sustainable mend and maintain-along ♻️

No pics, but I mended three nutcrackers over the weekend as I was decorating for Christmas. Two were TheMisterT’s when he was little: one the glue holding the body to the legs had failed, but it was also doweled, so it had been that way for the several years we’ve had it. The other, which my MIL passed along this year, had an arm come apart at the elbow. I noticed a few other places where glue had come off, so I will repair those before putting it away at the end of the year. The third was my Indomitable Snowman nutcracker whose cookie sheet had come unattached from his oven mitt. I’ve decided this is the year of fixing the holiday decorations and have two more sitting on my craft table to work on soon. And one tinsel tree waiting in situ for a new stand.
