If It's Not One Thing....

When we moved from TX to WV we moved ourselves using you pack cubes. This was a big mistake. Amidst all the stressing and crying we had too much stuff to fit in our 4 cubes so A LOT of stuff was trashed. Things we thought we would replace once we got to WV.

One of those things was an iron. I have no idea how old our iron was or what made me pick that particular one. I know we'd had it for years. I thought buying a new one was no big deal. Just go to Wal-mart and pick out one. MISTAKE. I evidently picked the wrong one. My husband had used it one time with a lot of swearing. I thought he was over-reacting and it couldn't be that bad. I was so wrong.

We aren't big iron people. Most of the time I either get the clothes right out of the dryer or use the dryer-wet cloth method or even hang in the shower method. For the coat I made I used sew-in interfacing on fleece so no iron involved. The jammies I'm working on for Alex use the fusible kind. Problem: The iron, even on the highest level, isn't hot enough to fuse the interfacing. It doesn't even get the damp cloth dry.

I never thought I would miss an inanimate object so much.
