Easy Peasy Tip: Fixit!
By tinychoices | March 13, 2010
Taking a tip from the Fixers Collective in Brooklyn, NY: start to think about the things in your life which can be coaxed back into life. The Collective have repaired favorite umbrellas with broken spines, brought ceiling fans back to three working speeds, and reattached workboot soles.
While some fixes may require detailed knowledge, others may just need a blob of glue or a new cord spliced into place!
What’s laying around in your junkpile just waiting to be noticed with an eye towards a fix?

Absolutely true. I would add that if for some reason I can’t get around to mending something, I realise it probably isn’t that important to me, so I pass it on via Freecycle, which seems to be full of people able to mend things.
