Being a visual person, I find it hard to stare at a blank wall while ironing. The solution....an old window frame, string, paper clips, and photos. Just what the room needed!
I ususally listent to J Vernon McGee's Through the Bible on my ipad while I iron!! However, pictures of my children and grandchildren keep me company as I do my ironing.
When I am doing my ironing for the week, which I do on Tuesday of course, I will usually set the ironing board up in front of the TV and watch an old movie. I like them from the 30's and 40's. If I am sewing at my machine I made a pressing board by getting a wood TV table on wheels that I covered as you would an ironing board. I keep it next to my machine so that as I finish a seam I can just turn in my chair and press the seam. It means a lot less up and down. When I am finished with a project I take it to the ironing board for a final complete ironing. When I am at my sewing machine I have a large window to look out of. Never ending change of birds and squirrels on a huge Oak right in front of the window. I got that instead of a window over my kitchen sink that I had always wanted. Your view is really nice also.

And to think that I usually watch a television program while I iron!
But your art on the wall is very appealing.
Which pattern did you use to make that cute dress that is on the ironing board? Love it!
