Your Lola looks so much like my Cali cat. What my sister calls "the basic grey flannel cat." She has two just like that. <br />I think I can beat your gunky iron story--when we redid our kitchen, we opted to save some $$ and do the demo ourselves. The floor was a truly heinous linoleum glued down with some sort of mastic like substance. We went after it with long handled scrapers, everything we could think of, we were just chipping it off. Then we discovered that if it got warm, it softened enough to pull the tiles off. So we sacrificed a steam iron to the job. Unfortunately it was a good one, I thought we'd be able to clean it up and I could continue to use it. The steam ports were permanently clogged when we finished. But the floor was down to the concrete and the cost of a steam iron was way cheaper than the cost of demo done by the contractor.Kerry Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644742325921660859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-90398851984497535762020-07-17T07:52:52.630-04:002020-07-17T07:52:52.630-04:00When I get gunk on my iron, I use a used dryer she...When I get gunk on my iron, I use a used dryer sheet on the plate as the iron gets hot--works like a charm!

I just finished reading and watching a video on the Dirty Dancing lake and how it had drained itself and been empty since 2008 but is slowly filling back up. It was interesting to read and watch the video. They talked a little about the drainage system in the mts. of Virginia. They believe it to be unique and no where else in the world. I had to look and see how far away you were from the Mountain Lake Lodge in Pembroke Va. and you could make it there in a little over an hour! And you can stay in the cabin that Baby and her family stayed in! LOL Well, sorry about the long winded post.

Maybe if it happens again, you should keep the damage iron on display as a visible warning. You are wise to use cheap irons (as long as they don't leak).

If you have tr...Lola's motto: Pressing matters.<br />If you have trouble getting things done with one cat to help, try three. <br />I've gotten to the place I keep a piece of folded parchment paper on the ironing board when I am using fusible products. Slip fabric and fusible or with fusible between the folds, and then press. Makes things much easier. <br />And Goof Off comes in a water-based spray that cleans up an iron (hot or cold) in nothing flat.

I’m totally going to try the Tylenol trick thanks!!!!<br /><br />I had a thought about your post yesterday for making ends meet at the retreat house with everything being so up in the air. What about what your boys say about auctioning your quilts when they inherit them? Maybe auction a few older ones? Personally I would DEFINITELY pay good money to own a Bonnie quilt ESPECIALLY if it was supporting your small business and making sure it sticks around so I can visit someday. Just a thought. I’ll be sure to keep shopping in your store to support your business! Much love to you and your family!Jill Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682998000061049761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70514827177536743802020-07-16T12:37:00.500-04:002020-07-16T12:37:00.500-04:00Nice hearing your voice!!
