Life Lessons- continued…
In the life long process of washing clothes I have turned a number of items into something from human size to cabbage patch doll size, no effort at all to accomplish. Now I have a pair of knitted fingerless gloves, that have upon wearing, proved to be sizes too big. Figured I would turn them …
