Monday is Wash Day, Tuesday is Ironing Day




That is the way it was in our home
Every female had to take turns ironing



In my home I iron by the kitchen window
Where orchids are blooming in the middle of winter



Where I can see who is coming down the lane



I don't iron by hand, I have a Miele ironing machine



When not in use it sits in a broom closet
and unfolds and snaps into place when I need it



And then it goes to work
All I have to do is step on the foot pedal and guide the cloth through the machine



I only iron twice a year
Mostly napkins




I paint many of my napkins.  This one is hand  block printed with acrylic paints and shapes cut from old computer mouse pads




Even large and fancy tablecloths are a snap



Wish you could have one too

Happy weekend, my dear blogging Friends

Therese Long of the fine Blog La Dolfina is looking for an Ironride for her Mother.   Her readers would like to see a tutorial.  The above is on a different machine but I think that all are very similar.
