:) I managed to make my little portable iron board for projects. I went out at lunch today to renew my license plates and decided to make a trip to Walmart to get some cold medicine. While there I remembered I wanted to get a staple gun for a project. YAY! I did it! I finally made a more portable ironing board.
It's not exciting is it. I just used leftovers and one of the left overs was plain white THIN muslin. I don't use it for much of anything so I thought it would work great for this. It is a 10 x 10" square of birth plywood, 1/2" thick. It also has two layers of cotton batting on it and all held in place by staples. That is why I needed the staple gun. I have nicer cotton fabric that I can put on the cover if this seems to work out. I also think I will make a variety of sizes of boards if this works out. They are light enough to be able to carry around to classes (or work). After that I might have to get a small iron. a small fat one and not one of the clover irons. I didn't like those when I had one.
Another project which looks like fun is found at:

That's my news for tonight. For a girl who has problems hammering in nails, this was a major accomplishment. :)

Enjoy it Bonni. Those portables are so convenient. I made one with muslin & batting like a sleeve, it was very tight but turned out wonderful too. I wrap a cotton dish towel over it to keep the muslin nice and clean.
