I Know I'm Crazy - I Enjoy Ironing

While ironing a basket of clothes yesterday, I experience many moments of glee, satisfaction of a job well done and just pure enjoyment. I love watching the wrinkles disappear. The smell of the sizing, as I run the iron across the fabric, is pleasant. The final result, a well iron shirt, pants or T-shirt, to place on the hanger. This is my 'Ah' moment.

I like to have all my supplies ready before I start. Having your sizing and/or starch, extra water, hangers, ironing board and of course, iron ready, will make this project go more quickly. This is a good time to listen to an audiobook, music or your favorite internet talk radio show.

Knowing how to iron a dress shirt properly will make the task more enjoyable. Visit Martha Stewart.com for instructions. Wannaseehow.com not only offers printed instructions but you can watch a short video too.
