Making it harder than it needs to be

Sometimes I can streamline processes and ease my path. Sometimes I make things harder than they need to be. My youngest loves getting her Raddish Kids crate each month, and each month it comes with a really nice patch for her apron. I started sewing these on (my youngest did try, but the sewing was hard to see), then life happened and we had a pile built up, waiting to be attached. It was then that I noticed the nice thick plastic back on the patches. Nice thick plastic that felt remarkably like meltable glue. Cue forehead slap. Yes, they are iron-on patches. It took about ten minutes to iron all the queued up patches on her apron. They don’t lay as flat as the patches that are sewn on, but at least they are now on the apron and not in a drawer.
