🇮🇹 Questa coperta era stata tagliata da delle forbicine infantili ma “il taglio è piccolo e può aspettare”. Dopo quasi 10 anni gli infanti sono cresciuti e con loro il buco: era ora di ricostruirlo. #rammendo #visibilemending Info in Alt text.

🇮🇹▶️🇬🇧⬇️ Il buco ricostruito con una tela ancorata a piccoli punti sulla stoffa. Anche la stoffa della coperta è una tela. Per pareggiare il bordo ho aggiunto una fila di punto festone.

The hole rebuild with a canvas stitched in small stitch on the fabric. To level the edge I added a row of blancket stitch.

🇮🇹▶️🇬🇧⬇️ Questo è l’ordito del rammendo. Sul bordo raddoppio i fili per reggere la tensione.

This is the wart of the mending. On the edge I double the threads to hold the tension.

🇮🇹▶️🇬🇧⬇️ Il buco ripulito dai fili consumati in eccesso. Non è un’operazione sempre necessaria ma per un lavoro pulito e resistente è meglio farla.

The hole cleaned of excess-consumed threads. It is not always a necessary step but for a clean and resistant job it is better to do it.

🇮🇹▶️🇬🇧⬇️ La coperta con un buco sul bordo. Il buco ha ancora i fili consumati e ha una forma più o meno rettangolare. Sulla coperta c’è la mano di un ragazzino. No, non fu lui a tagliare la coperta 😅

The blanket with a hole on the edge. The hole still has the threads worn and has a more or less rectangular shape. On the blanket there is a little boy's hand. No, he wasn't the one who cut the blanket 😅

good lord how can anyone be this whiny; are you not ashamed

Donald Trump writes on Truth Social: "This is the woman who received the Nobel Peace Prize over the Great United States of America, whose Representative, ME, settled eight Wars, and many other things. I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else! In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no one ever heard of her other than the fact that she, very obviously, hates Israel. I don’t know what the woman has done. I settled 8 Wars, with letters being sent from every President and Prime Minister from the countries that I helped to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and I’m about to settle, or win, two more, Iran and, Russia/Ukraine. They’re both happening at breakneck speed but, forget them, it’s the 8 that I’ve already settled, any one of which, in particular, Pakistan and India, would be far more than necessary to win the Nobel Prize. In actuality, I should have won 8 Nobel Peace Prizes, not just 1. The 8 Wars are:"

Donald Trump writes on Truth Social: "Cambodia and Thailand
Kosovo and Serbia
The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda
Pakistan and India
Israel and Iran
Egypt and Ethiopia
Armenia and Azerbaijan
Israel and Hamas
Additionally, I stopped Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon, and blowing up the entire Middle East and, ultimately, far beyond! I saved more lives than anyone in History and, as Maria Corina Machado, a truly fine person, stated to the Media when she gave me her Nobel Prize of last year, “Donald Trump settled many Wars, and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than any person that has ever received it.” Based on my record of PEACE, a record like no one else has ever achieved, I agree! I got back all of the hostages in Israel, including the final 28, both living and dead, and worked with Hamas to"

Donald Trump writes on Truth Social: "PEACE, a record like no one else has ever achieved, I agree! I got back all of the hostages in Israel, including the final 28, both living and dead, and worked with Hamas to do it — Nobody believed this was possible! I removed the World’s Evil Dictator, Nicolas Maduro, from Venezuela, and am in the process of making Venezuela a rich Democracy. Likewise, with Iran, I stopped them from destroying Israel, the Middle East, and Europe. I am also preventing, on a constant basis, a War between South Korea and North Korea, and Japan and North Korea. Add China and Taiwan, and numerous other hot spots, which have not been involved in Wars, only because of President Donald J. Trump, and the United States of America. I am responsible for having NATO countries increase spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, creating a stronger alliance and defense, another thing that everybody said was impossible to do. I have negotiated the release, and secured the return, of more than 900 political prisoners from multiple countries"

Donald Trump writes on Truth Social: "another thing that everybody said was impossible to do. I have negotiated the release, and secured the return, of more than 900 political prisoners from multiple countries in Eastern Europe. Additionally, I have brought 196 hostages HOME from captivity, from all over the World, and did it without having paid a ransom, unlike Biden and Obama who would pay Billions of Dollars. On top of it all, I have created a soon to be very prosperous Arctic. Despite all of this, the Nobel Prize was given today to a liberal person who works at the United Nations, who nobody has ever heard of. In all of the Wars that I have settled, I never spoke to the United Nations—they were of no help. The United States of America, represented by me, as your President, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t. This is an indelible stain on Norway, one that will never be forgotten. The Nobel “Peace” Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of Radical Ideologues who are Anti-Democracy, and Enemies of Civilization! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
