Apparently 'tis the season for politicians promisi Apparently 'tis the season for politicians promising that people can go round hugging each other. So with thanks to @kerrypuddy a polite reminder...

Alas, poor iron, I knew you well... You survived s Alas, poor iron, I knew you well... You survived so much in the last 9 1/2 years, including, in your youth, being accidentally left on for over 24 hours. Twice. You also took a couple of nose-dives off the ironing board, and burned me at least once, but more importantly were involved in the starching and pressing of fabrics along with application of interfacing for a couple of hundred bags, quilts, and other items. You were the last gift that my granny consciously gave me (even if she wasn't very happy about it, she felt that strong independent women should not be requesting laundry items for Christmas 😂). When you stopped heating up properly last week, I hoped it wasn't so, but it seems like the perma-kink in your wire from hanging over the ironing board finally did for you 😣 Your replacement arrived today from @tefal.uk and shares all your original features, but also includes a couple of new ones, such as auto-off, so will hopefully survive at least as long as you did. I will investigate a way to ensure kinky wires are not a retained feature though...
Have you seen the ongoing sale that my friend @fli Have you seen the ongoing sale that my friend @flipflopfabricshop has in her shop right now? She has some lovely flowery fabrics just in case spring isn't delivering on the floral front round your way!

I've been all set up to record some maintenance cl I've been all set up to record some maintenance class videos this afternoon and there's a kid outside loudly booting a football against the wall next door 🤬🤬🤬. Why can't it just rain when you want it to? Maybe even a small ⚡ strike?

Got a lovely delivery this morning from @spazastor Got a lovely delivery this morning from @spazastore I've been looking for a replacement for cling film for a while, but the problem is that I need covers for big bowls, and the standard waxed ones on sale all seem to be very small so won't work for me (on Sundays I often make big chopped salads for lunch during the week at work, and the bowls are 10"-12" across). Whilst I have a world of fabric and could probably cover half the bowls in Glasgow, my time and inclination are around zero for that sort of thing, so these are ideal! There's a 4 pack with small, medium, large and extra large, plus I grabbed a couple of the individual packs in large and extra large, along with a rectangular one for baking dishes. They're all screen printed with lovely designs from South Africa, where they're made. I also picked up a washing up pack, which I'm interested to try. Santa brought me a loofah washing up thing, but in water it's HUGE and not the best for getting in smaller spaces, so I'm hoping these will enhance my dishwashing experience as they're a knitted style in different materials. Not sponsored, just a happy customer 😊
I've just spent the last couple of hours visually I've just spent the last couple of hours visually devouring Recipes Against Racism, a great collection of recipes from East and South East Asia from a number of restaurants, pop-ups and supper clubs in London produced by @sachikoandshu and raising money for @stop_hate_uk I can't wait to try making some of these dishes, and maybe, when we're allowed to travel and dine out again I'll be able to get to some of the restaurants! If you want to get your own copy, head over to @sachikoandshu and click on the link in their profile - it's a PDF, so you can enjoy it from anywhere in the world 😊 #recipesagainstracism

New Post!!! Work In Progress Wednesday Two WIP Wednesdays in a row, who’d have thunk it! It was a (mostly wet) bank holiday weekend here, and I spent Saturday doing some sewing before spending time starting to record sections of some upcoming Featherweight maintenance classes (I promise I’ll open the bookings on them as soon as I’ve got everything recorded!) Anyway, […] ...
