She only cost $10, and she had more surface area than my boring old board!
Since she was bare, I had to clothe her. I had been saving this fabric for just such a time. It is purple!!!!!
Here she is with Ro. They make a great team. They are getting ready to tackle pressing binding for my Potholder Pass Potholders. Can't show those till they are gifted!
Still haven't found that SD card. It is a small thing, but field trip and Christmas pictures were on there that had not been downloaded. Lesson learned. Could you all say a little prayer that it shows up?
Blessings,
KT
She is beautiful...i can only imagine how much nicer that is as a fixture than a metal board. i know that mine is always up so that would be much less of an eyesore. i like her seal of approval!
ReplyDeleteNeat ironing board! I love finds like that!
ReplyDeleteI just finished up my potholders and am hoping to get them to the post office tomorrow. I don't want to share pics till they are received either. Secrets are fun!
I LOVE Bess. I wonder if I can find a long lost sister or cousin of hers. They sure don't make them like they used to. And you have clothed her beautifully! Jennifer Paganelli?.
ReplyDeletevery cool. I remember seeing one like her when I was a kid and made a pfft sound when I went by saying" you'll never catch me ironing". I absolutely detested ironing as a kid. Now I enjoy it with crafts and quilting. Looking back the kid me and the adult me probably wouldn't like each other. I'm off to pick my fabric for the swap. Take care.
ReplyDeletebess is beautiful!!! i LOVE old wood furniture and was just looking at old ironing boards last weekend!!! none of the ones i saw were as pretty as bess....
ReplyDeleteWow; what an AMAZING ironing board! I didn't even know ironing boards were ever made this sturdy--who knew? If it's adjustable height, you can even use it as an extension table when you sew/quilt, I imagine. I am envious, you know. :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for coming by my blog! I love the ironing board!
