    I use a lint roller for mine - it's exceptional when removing all manner of string or itty bits/dog ears from HSTs - and cat hair. LOL I only buy the rollers that are cream colored - they're obviously masking tape. The white ones don't have a really good "stick" to them. very namby pamby, whereas those that look like they're made from masking tape will pick up everything!

    Oh many, many years ago my husband had rescued two solid wood doors from the office trash. We took them to Colorado and he put one in the garage for a work table and the other one, nine foot, for my cutting table in the basement. I moved two years ago back to Texas. wish i could have taken the table/door with me. too heavy and I didn't know how much space I would end up with.

    I like it. I'd love to have one like it beside my sewing table.

    I love your ironing station. I am in the process of putting a large ironing station on top of a dresser. Ironing board fabric wears out too quickly for me. The ironing board is also in my way. I have an 18x18 felt pressing mat that I love. I haven't covered the board that I cut to top the dresser with because I just wasn't sure I like the ironing board fabric. This will be perfect. I will be ordering the felt later today. Thanks for the info. I had never thought of felt for my large board.

    That's a great work area/station. Nice to have everything handy.
