Recently, when I took her home after the second surgery, I saw the Bright Cafe Apron in a box. I only saw a bit of it folded, but the fabric jarred something in my mind. I had forgotten I gave it to Mom. She said she is going to use it now to carry things around rather than carrying them in her hands. Yay for safety!
When I went to visit her on Wednesday, she was using the apron as she said she would. I was so happy! It make me super excited that the apron was useful.
The only failures were the Cane Chains. I couldn’t get the clamps tight enough to do their job. Not sure if a rivet press would solve that problem.
Thanks for keeping me inspired. You are doing great work, and it is fun to see what you have to share.
Blessings.
