My take on it. Laugh and embrace your work of art!:)

Thank you for posting, good reminder and I will be more careful.
|
Ohhhh my! that could have been a disaster! I will certainly be more careful.
|
Also - if an iron has an automatic shut-off - when the iron is moved, it will heat up again if one did not actually turn it off.
I usually - or so I thought - click the iron to "off" - so I set a cold iron on carpet - and the iron heated up and melted the carpet. Now DH put an extension cord up so that it is easier to plug and unplug the iron in - and I always unplug it now when I am not using it. |
I love your advice! I'll never forget when a pot of eggs boiled dry and the eggs exploded! Hours later, I Finally finished cleaning the ceiling!

You made my day. That really is funny and I really needed a laugh today. It is exactly something that I would do. Yes, I do feel sorry that it happened though. Guess you just have to look at the bright side. You get to buy a new iron!
|
Thanks for sharing. Very funny and sort of inspiring. No matter what, we keep on quilting.
|
Thanks for the safety reminder! I see a commercial in there somewhere. Hopefully, you have a new iron now.
|
Oh no!! Lesson learned I guess and glad it wasn't any worse.
|
my iron shuts off while I"m ironing! every time! well it beeps and will shut off if I don't lift it up an upright, then continue ironing a bit more. someone made mine wrong! otherwise it is a good iron. will shut off but i always punch the button to go down and show blue. means off. Then when completely done in sewing room, i unplug from extension cord.
