Sewing Dork Awards

And the sewing dork award for

"Most Likely to Burn The House Down"

goes to....

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went into the sewing room on Thursday to iron a shirt for work only to discover that the iron had been sitting on the sewing table in the ON position (and not just on but ALL THE WAY ON-SUPER HOT-WOOL SETTING) for approximately....

THREE WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm......

Some days I amaze even myself.
