We all use books for things other than reading, right? Like end tables or bookmarks while reading other books. I've discovered a new use, but now you'll all know what an awful housekeeper I am and how lazy I am. I prefer to think I'm innovative.
Our top bed sheet always come out of the dryer with the top edge crumpled. I think ironing sheets is a ridiculous waste of time, although I had to iron pillowcases at home. But this top edge was annoying me. So one day when I put clean sheets on the bed, I looked at the chunkster books on my bedside table and a little light went on. Hey, it works quite well! Top edge nice and smooth!
Do you have any unusual uses for books?
No, no unusual uses for books. But I have sheet that has a top like that too and I never iron it. Now I know what to do with it!
ReplyDeleteFriends don't let friends iron sheets!
DeleteGold star for creative use of books! Sometimes I make my own mailing envelopes out of creative paper like old calendar pages, and I will stack a few heavy books on top while the glue sets. I also use books to prop up a book I am reading while having lunch. But those aren't quite so interesting as yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think it was a brilliant idea, too! Instead of ironing, I have more time for reading! I like your ideas, too. Aren't books amazing?!
DeleteGreat idea, I don't iron sheets either. At the moment I'm using books to prop up a kitchen cabinet!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you have many books to keep that cabinet up! See how useful books can be?! And some people think you can have too many.
