It was the lesser spotted IRONING BOARD!!
Rarely spotted but tonight it made a brief appearance.
I'm sewing and it's the only time it really gets time out these days...
I thought I had the elastic to finish it tonight (hence the iron coming out) but I only have the size needed to make Fonzy Pants, so back to the lovely Alans Sewing shop for me tomorrow! Ah tis a terrible burden to visit that little treasure trove of sewing goodies!!
Good news is that the dress is so nearly finished. I hope that she likes it...she can be a fussy little Miss. I can't show you a sneak peek either as she pops by here to check out her photo's sometimes (terribly vain) but I will be spamming with birthday photo's later this week.
Did I mention yet that this just might be the first year in her 6little years that she's not been ill and/or snowed in...fingers crossed that she makes it to the end of the week well....

All the children are home tomorrow!
Teachers are on strike, I'm trying to see this in a positive light but the weather is against us (cold and wet) and I have a rotten ear ache that isn't shifting, add to this that I HAVE to go grocery shopping at some stage then that little ray of light is looking decidedly dim.
As I like to say 'expect the worst but hope for the best...'

Ironing board? Is that a native creature?! Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy reading your blog and I'm passing on The Versatile Blogger award to you. :) http://pyjamaschool.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/versatile-blogger-x2/
ReplyDeleteSewing is the only fun time to iron! I've resorted to bribing my daughter to iron my husband's wok shirts! And I was a striking teacher (didn't do it lightly) sorry for the hassle it caused you - hope it turned out to be a fab day x
