What ho, Tuppy?
 
What ho, oh blood relation?
Pip, pip!
~ more Jeeves and Wooster






I've been fighting a curtain this evening, 
so I finally packed it in for the night 
and just enjoyed a little family, Netflix time
with one of our favorites, Jeeves and Wooster.
(irresistible theme song!)




I had one of those moments! I had just finished ironing cotton fabric on high heat when I thought I'd just press out a wrinkle in my piece of felt. Um ~ not my best moment. Just as the iron was touching the felt, my brain fog cleared, and I tried to pull back.  But the damage was done!

I left the iron unplugged to cool off, and the next morning I googled for help!

There were several ideas, but I went with vinegar and salt (because I had it on hand).  I mixed about 1 or 2 tablespoons of salt into about 1/4 cup of very hot water.  Stirred to dissolve the salt.  Then added about 3/4 cup of white vinegar.  I did eventually warm it up in the microwave for almost 1 minute.

I had already started cleaning it before I thought to take pictures.  But if you compare the right side of the iron in the picture above with the one below, you can tell how the lighter stuff came off just by rubbing the vinegar / salt mixture on with a soft cloth.


What I thought was really neat, was the way it began to peel off in large potato chip like sheets.  I soaked the pink stuff with the cloth sopping with the vinegar mixture.  It seemed to soak it up, so I did it again.  All of a sudden the felt began to come off in strips.  Nice!



A little patience, a lot rubbing and my iron is better than ever.

Mother Helps Her Daughter Stir the Pudding
by Maynard Brown

True worth is in being, not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good; not in the dreaming
Of great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in their blindness,
And in spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.

~ True Worth by Alice Carey ~ 


Praying everyone finds the blessing of fulfillment as each of us tackle the tasks God has placed near to our own hand. He has something for us to do every day. He created us in Christ Jesus to do good works. Isn't it wonderful that we don't have to wait to discover God's ministry for us? It's whatever needs doing right at our fingertips.

For we are his (God's) workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10
