That sounds like a good present Ann.

Please Santa send me an iron that doesn't need me around when it's ironing

Please don't send those irons to me, Santa. I used those as a kid and now here in southern Texas it is 92 degrees F. under our awning. So I do not need any more "heat" today!!!!!! Wish I could send some your way in the UK and Ireland but have never figured that out. I got a golf cart so I can run around the park when dh has the car so I guess Santa has already arrived here. About five yards of Ricky's hand dyes are on my Santa list but will probably have to order and pay for them myself. Hugs, Ann

Sounds like time for some vin brulé or at least espresso corretto (with grappa) in the UK and Ireland! I can't believe that we are having about 60 degree weather most of this week in the Washington, DC area. I would really like that cup of hot cocoa... but with this weather it's not happening! Not sure whether to be happy or sad... I guess I'll be happy!

Good hard frost ovenight up here, and I'm on playground duty - standing outside for just over an hour freezing my toes & fingers off, the rabbit fur scarf is is definitely coming out this weekend!

Same here Anne. DH and I have really been feeling it the past few days. And colder to come over the weekend too. Brrrrrr!

Ritzy,
I need to heat the house as it is freezing here in the UK, I've got my thermals on
Anne

And think of all the muscles you are building; and heating the house while you heat the irons.

Or a power cut.

Well hey, at least you don't have to worry about your irons spitting water at you!!

Are you hoping for a lightweight iron, Anne

Just think of the great quilting patterns you can get from those shapes

No you'll only get used to the electricity

Please Santa,
Can I have a new iron for Christmas?
Anne
