...at my ironing board.
I picked up this iron last weekend ~ Shark - Intelligent Electronic Iron. It was on sale for 50% off. I was in the market for a new iron and I remembered when Autum at Creative Little Daisy was trying to get input on them that someone said the "Shark" was a good iron.
The jury is not completely in on how great it is, yet. I have only used it a few times and have tried it on some denim shirts and a denim purse I recently made for a client, and it seems to work really well. The steam booster is a really nice feature since I didn't have it on my other iron and it helps a lot to get those stubborn creases out that my other iron took forever to do and sometimes didn't with a whole lot of pressing down hard which the Shark does not require. I was a little skeptical at the store when I turned it over and saw the shiny silver plate. I am use to the teflon plate that my other iron had, but since using it, I don't mind it and it seems to glide just as well.
The real test will be when I iron Hubby's linen shirt. It was a nightmare with the old iron so we will see how this one performs.
P.S. What do you think of the new Logo at the top? I also made a new Logo for my Etsy shop. Out of the two, which do you like more and why. I would love to get some opinions on them. Thanks!
Update regarding the iron: I hate it! Well, not hate. I don't like using that word. It is such a strong word and I always tell my kids not to use it for that reason... So, I really, really dislike it and I plan on taking it back to the store that I got it from. Why do I dislike it so much you ask? It has already stopped steaming on its own unless I press the steam burst button. When I do hit the steam burst button it lets out this annoying high pitched whistle and remember I told you it had a nice shiny silver plate on the bottom. Don't ever get one with that. It gets so gunky, so quickly, it won't even slide along the clothes so that you can iron them. You constantly have to be cleaning the bottom.... trust me stick to teflon.

That iron looks amazing! I'll have to check back to see how it did on the linen shirt.
As for your new banners - I personally like the one on your blog best. I'm way into browns and blues right now, so that might be the reason. But I also like the nice puffy cloud shape.
