Striving to grow things as naturally, simply, and cheaply as possible!

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Finished one life quest, on to the next!

I didn't add sock puppets, but have done so many in the past, that people started asking me to either make some for them, or teach them how to make them, like mine. I once had my daughter's 'Brownie' troop bring some in, and we made sock puppets for the other little kids in their lives, as Christmas gifts.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

I don't know where they go, how they go, or when they go, but they go somewhere, somehow.
I've tried to minimize this from happening by folding the matched socks together, so they are connected when I put them in the dirty clothes, which seems to help a lot.
I have quite a few older mismatched socks. I have kept them, hoping I will find their match. Sometimes I find the match, sometimes I never find it.
So lately I've been putting these mismatched socks to use, wearing these pairs of mismatched socks around the house.
I've designated a separate basket to put the dirty mismatched socks in that don't have a match after they are used, which helps me keep my sanity, as trying to find the matches for the normal socks is already challenging enough. This way the mismatched socks are all washed together, and I don't have to worry about mixing them with matching pairs, and I just dump them in the clean basket for mismatched socks.
I feel like with this method I'm able to get good use out of perfectly good socks, even if they don't have a match, and who knows, if the other match ever wanders home, I'll have its match ready and willing to reunite with it! Hopefully I won't forget and wear them out, but who knows, it could start a new fad.
Is anyone else upcycling mismatched socks and wearing them around the house?
