Just thought I'd share two dim moments I've had recently - as a new member and a beginner, I was looking at ideas to 'show off' my pieces. I saw a good deal on keyrings, and saw they also did coasters - wonderful - took me about 10 mins before I thought about cups of hot coffee:r - ( yes- I could scan and print it out but not quite the same) I also noted on the forums at the side of the poster's name was a - looks liked two matches being rubbed together - finally twigged its scissors

Hi Sal - I can see you're going to fit in here very well...
If it makes you feel at home - I did mention this somewhere else - but been doing this for nearly two years now and only a couple of weeks ago realised there was an on off switch on the iron dial - I just used to keep plugging it in, waiting, unplugging Just going up to make some comments on your Members question Love x

That makes another of us then!
Anyway...can't be doing with fiddling with switches. Just give the damn thing a good tug, I say!
I tried waxing yesterday and just couldn't do a thing right! I hate days like that. I churned out the biggest load of tripe I've done in ages! What a waste of A4 too! Arrrgggghhhhhhhh! Maria x |

ah - when I said switch, I meant dialthingy - you can turn the dialthingy down to off - it's very handy when working with iron and stylus - cos it saves electricity when you're fiddling about for hours with the stylus, try to override mistakes you've just made with the iron - such is life
love x yeah - I had a day like that yesterday M - and the day before - and the...... I'm sure it's the weather -brain still thinks it's in hibernation mode....

Being nosy Sal where did you see a good deal on keyrings and coasters? I was looking for a craft fair but needed to buy about 500! I've put a teabag medallion into coasters and they are fine. We all have senior moments or dim ones ! Or even a craft momenttransalated as "Can't remember a flipping thing!" I get those all the time

![]() Must be in the minority Up early yesterday and managed to do the bookmarks Of course, by the time we got home, it was too dark outside to photograph them It was weird though - I actually knew exactly what I wanted to do, slapped the wax on the iron, and "Hey Presto!" it worked first time Doesn't usually work that well It was also raining this morning so we went out (Jenny craft shopping ) so I couldn't get photgraphs of the bokmearks we did until this afternoon ![]() Steve
