Blinking Irons!

Well, I did have a different day planned to the one that happened.  I had the fabulous idea that I would clean my iron as it hasn't been performing adequately recently.  This iron is near on 10 years old.  Cleaning it caused the electrics to trip and I couldn't figure out how to fix it.  So we went out today instead.  When we got back, I decided to take matters into my own hands, was brave and pressed a button at the end of the fusebox and voila, we have power again.  I then went into the kitchen to check on the iron, plugged it in and boom, the electrics went again so the iron is being consigned to the bin and I am off out again in a mo to pick up a new one from Argos. 

On the plus side, I  now have another three bags nearly finished apart from the binding and handles.  Here are pictures:

Today I was going to make more purses, grrr.  Oh well, will get started on them when I get back from Argos...
