Ah yes. A Saturday morning too hot to go pull weeds. We all know what that means! Sewing! Yay!
As I was ironing my pieced Shangri-la (tee da) quilt top I noticed that the water squirty function was not squirting. If you pay $100 for an iron it really does need to squirt water. I blamed Sean. It’s always the husband’s fault when an iron breaks. He Googled around and found the solution. Water deposits.
So we took the iron to the kitchen sink and let it steam and steam ’til it didn’t steam no more. Lots of ick came out of it. It was rather disgusting. Rowenta recommends that you don’t run the Self Clean steam more than once a month. This is the first time I’ve used it in the three years I’ve owned the iron.
Afterwards we were left with lots of icky white dusty things on the bottom of the iron. It came off on the fabric since I certainly wasn’t about to clean the bottom of an iron with my hands (remember the burn? Irons are hot.).
I can finally squirt water on my quilts again. Yay!

Honestly, I think you’d need to do some more research before deciding to really throw yourself into business. Find out what options there might be for selling your stuff locally through other small businesses? Obviously there is the online angle, if you want to sell through a website, which would be relatively inexpensive to set up. Hard question!!
