As always, my better ideas come from someone else – usually one or two favourite blog authors who generously share their projects.  In this case, an idea for a stocking filler, in the form of shoelaces.

Thinking about this and carefully considering the potential of this great idea before I dive in and make fifty pairs of laces, I read the comments and further ideas as well.  That’s where I discovered the word aglet.

Isn’t it fun to learn a new word?  I wonder if I can drop it into conversation sometime today?  ;-)
