Today...I made...wait for it...a lovely iron shaped burn mark in my sewing room carpet...

The horror!
The iron was on the highest setting...sat on my ironing board.
I moved the board to get into the cupboard behind...and the iron just took a dive for it and free fell...landing face down on the carpet with a lovely sizzle...
I found a site that tells you How to Remove Iron Burn Marks.
They suggest sandpaper for burns of this level. I hunted in my garage for my electric sander...and with a bit of sanding...not too much otherwise I'd have a hole in the carpet...and some vacuuming....here's the end result.
Not bad! Of course...it would not have happened if I had held onto the iron in the first place...
Until tomorrow,
Nic xx
