What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
I iron and don't mind it. I don't think the dryer hack works well enough and only on rare occasions do I take something out of a normal drying cycle and find that it is ready to wear.
ReplyDeleteI do not iron. I bought my first iron years ago specifically to iron a tablecloth for Thanksgiving. My mom on the other hand ironed everything, right down to her underwear. Had the same ironing board from when I was a kid!
ReplyDeletePeople are always making fun of me because I still iron EVERYTHING! I will not wear anything that I can't/don't iron first - jeans, sweatshirts, even hankies! My Dad was in the Navy and it was my job to iron his hankies when I was little. My Mom ironed everything. The only things I don't iron are towels - unless they are decorative ones and have wrinkles. But I do iron my kitchen towels. One of my biggest worries about having CKD is the time will come when I can't iron...and hubby will burn a hole in everything! lol
ReplyDeleteI don't iron if I can avoid it. I own one but try to buy clothes that don't need it. Hubby's work shirts too. Mom didn't iron often. I wonder if that influences who irons and who doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI do own an iron and a small ironing board. However, I rarely iron. Usually only dress clothes. I try to buy clothes that do not need it in my opinion, but a shirt with a collar needs to be ironed. My mother always hated ironing and she used to have to iron her nurses uniforms. It was a happy day in our house when she could start wearing scrubs to work and they started being made in fabric that did not wrinkle.
ReplyDeleteI iron every morning, even though I hang up all my clothes and never dry them. I have tried a few handheld steamers and they suck.
