kat57 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have seen a couple of her dolls,which are on her site,but didn't know the name 'Wolfie'. Her site says Lone Wolf,so I probably saw that,even though I don't recall it either.lol But I have definitely seen her "Emma" somewhere before. And I know I'm not dreaming about a (claimed to be) 100 yr. old member!-but they could have been clowning on their profile page. Some people just can't handle people knowing their age or want their privacy,I guess. But it was when I was looking at Orchid builds all over the site and no way can I recall who it was. Sorry Wolfie can't be with us,she's got some cute dolls. And I will go look up Anya-the animal artisan I asked you about. Too far off topic,but thanx,Holly!

Ravenswing Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Well,Judith,it was a good long time ago-my uncle would've been 83 this week,had he lived past age 23 (car accident). I used to think Mom was teasing about this when I was little,but she said he wanted them just as stiff as Grandma could get them and she sure did it!lol I will have to ask Mom if Grandma did or didn't have an ironing board,but I know she heated the irons on their wood stove,as my mother grew up without electricity. Imagine that-yikes! (Well,I know some of you can.) Kat we used to put so much spray starch on our jeans that they would sometimes come out shiny. They had to have a crease - and a sharp one at that - to be seen in wrinkly jeans....horror of horror - have you no pride in your appearance? It was a thing unheard of girlfriend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat57 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ouch,Judith! I used to wear cheap knit pants when all the other girls were wearing jeans,...But now,jeans are all I wear,ever. After I wash my jeans or if they need freshening up-wrinkles at the knees,etc,I put them together in a loose crease,fold them over like I'm going to put them on a hanger,lay them in the dryer with a damp cloth for a few minutes (A dryer sheet is good,too,if you use them) and that's good enough for me! My parents used to own a laundromat and it's a simple trick we learned from an elderly customer! Since we now don't have the extreme chores Victorian ladies had,like ironing with coal irons or sad irons,we can choose what matters more to us,I guess. I can hand wash anything if I have to-take away my dryer and I'm not fit to live with! So glad it's not Victorian times!! But I still love the little mini wooden ironing board!Topic,Kat topic!

GirlPiper Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Don't run me out of town but I love to iron. I do, too. So gratifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 The iron doesn't fit my hand any longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
