My walking partner, Debbie, told me about the cutest gift idea.The Ironing Board Lady makes the ideal kitchen shower present.
Purchase the bride an ironing board and dress in a bib style apron.Get creative with building her upper body: perhaps a splatter cover for her face, rolled towels for her arms, dishwashing gloves for her hands, mop hair and plastic scrubber pad eyes.
A heart cookie cutter becomes a clever mouth and she carries a bouquet of kitchen tools in an upside down grater. Use cheese cloth or netting, the kind that would cover a dish at a picnic, as her veil.
This little lady will be the life of the party and all her parts will come in handy when setting up a home.
What a fun gift to give and receive.
Special thanks to Debbie and her sister Donna for this tip.
Dear Debi,
I must give credit where credit is due. The Ironing Board Lady was created by a lady who is a neighbor of my friend Becky. I thought it was such a cute idea that I had to take a picture to show my sister Debbie. The only thing missing from the picture is a set of oven mitts that are used as her shoes…Holly, Becky's dog, thought they were put there for her to play with! (<: It is pretty cool to see it on your blog. Thanks for posting it…I can't wait to tell Becky!
Take care,
Donna
Donna,
Thank you for clearing up the finer points. I can see the dog would have loved those “feet.”
Do send Becky and others to the blog.
Some may feel squeamish about eating it, but rabbit has a fan base that grows as cooks discover how easy they are to raise — and how good the meat tastes.
Hi,
How do you tie everything together? How does the splatter screen stay on the ironing board, etc.
Thanks for the idea!
