Yep! We all have a case of the funnies at times. I grabbed the can of disinfectant spray instead of the basting spray. When I realized it wasn't sticking, I thought I hadn't shook the can long enough. I went through that process three times before realizing what can I had. Didn't even realize the difference in the smell. DUH!

Then there was the time I found a 4-roll pack of toilet paper in the fridge. My first thought was "Where did I put the milk?" Yep, you got it. It was in the bathroom closet....sour.

Great minds ,I was just thinking if we all could get together to sew,we would do nothing but roll on the floor laughing till the tears started flooding the house, and how many boxes of kleenex it would take for each of us. cant u just see it Jolo

Gave it a good heavy spray before I noticed which can I had in my hand! Have you ever tried to wash that stuff out! Not easy! I think I got it all. Sure don't want to redo the whole border. Takes over an hour to do. You can bet I will remember to put the spray baste back where it belongs from now on. Not on the ironing board!

My goodness! I am trying to think of something other than the things that have happened here already! So many mishaps, funny or not at the time, only thing I can recall doing was putting Brill Creme on my toothbrush one morning years ago and what a gosh awful taste that was! One thing I can say about that was... It was a real "mouth watering" experience! So from then on I kept the toothpaste tube in the cup with the brushes!!
Sorry about the mishap Polly! Happy that it came out and you are able to continue on to finish up!
