About a week ago I was curled up in the chair in our living room, making these cute little yarn pom poms to put on some Christmas presents. I was cutting the yarn with my super sharp scissors and accidentally cut my new jeans. Ugggggh!!! Luckily it was a tiny little cut and I happen to have some iron on patches on hand.
A couple days later I decide to fix my jeans and whip out the iron and plug it in. Did I get out the ironing board? Nope I didn't. I was extremely lazy that evening and didn't want to get it out for one little patch job that was going to take 2 minutes. Now if I had one that folds down off the wall in my laundry room...that's a different story. I laid out my jeans on my living room floor, made sure they are nice and flat, and placed my patch on the spot. Don't worry, I put the patch on the inside of the jeans. My iron was ready so I set it on top of the patch and walked away....
OH CRAP!!! I take the iron off of my jeans and had to peel my jeans off the floor. It didn't burn my floor but it did leave a nice little iron shaped blue stain from they dye in the jeans. It won't come out either. Maybe now I have finally learned to NOT iron on the floor. I am sure you can imagine how lovely some of the carpet looks after Kiera threw up milk as baby, Lilly coughing up hairballs, and Berkley having accidents as a puppy. Jimmy has joked with me that I fixed a $20 pair of jeans and ruined $1500 worth of carpet. I corrected him that they were $15 jeans. He just laughed. That's why I love him.
