My duuuuuhhh moment of the day. Was ironing some quilt patches and ran out of steam. Had a glass of water sitting nearby from the night before so I just grabbed it and filled my iron. Only later did I realize I just filled the iron with tea. At least it wasn't sweet tea. lol no harm was done

Yeah! I am not the only one! I drank soapy water thinking it was my drinking water.! Ugh! Do that only once!

I have dipped my paint brushes in my coffee more than once while doing Folk art painting,. Hugs Joyce

Makes me feel better about the silly things I do at times. He! He! Hugs Joyce

I love it!

You discovered a new way to recycle. Ha, ha.

Oh, this was good for my soul....LOL!!! It should have speeded up your ironing a bit.........

lol good one Bev thanks for my smile hugs carolyn

Bev sorry but this made me laugh. Hope that no damage has been done

You could always just turn the iron upside down to pour the tea out...if it's not tooo late! That is pretty funny though. You probably want to clean your iron incase come of the tannins in the tea are still in there.

Did your iron "Pep" up with the caffeine boost? Glad you weren't ironing hubbys white dress shirt! ;)

almost as yukky as the time I picked up the water glass for the iron and drank it instead of my pepsi. YUK (I keep the same glass all the time)

and did you iron like the tea? or does it prefer coffee next time? Well no damage at least. Hugs, Gerry

Thanks for the laugh :o)
I often read that some crafty people color their fabric with tea or coffee. To do this with the iron seems to be a brandnew method *lol*
Greetings, Bettina

So glad no harm was done. I've always heard of tea dying but never heard of doing it through your iron. ha ha

Nothing like a cup of tea - even for an iron. LOL. Hugs Sarah.

Too funny... We get o distracted while playing... Suzanne

Oh my. Glad there was no damage.
