smiles & my b-day month GIVEAWAY

My iron that I use for piecing?
Well, the handle doesn't stay up...
the clip inside that made the handle stay out in "pressing mode"
no longer works --- it just magically didn't work one day.
Bummer!
And I've sort of gotten used to it, I guess.
Because it's a small, travel iron size,
and the whole time I'm sewing,
I leave it on the highest setting
it gets  just a little warm in the body -
right were my fingers are pressing the handle down onto the body of the iron...
OK, more than a little warm - almost hot.
But these fingers of mine -
they are used to the heat of the kitchen,
so maybe, just maybe,
 are a little de-sensitized.


So, the smile part:
I got a new iron :)
and the handle stays up!
Yep, I had already gotten used to pressing with the handle that didn't stay up!
Now, to get to work.
I want to again be used to the iron with the handle that stays up!

Little things that make me smile...

Happy Stitching!

  1. At least you found another iron like the one you already had. I always have to get used to a completely different iron. Thank goodness I don't go thru them very often.
