I have that exact iron in blue!! I accidently stole it from a friend, well never returned it really...anyway.
Does the steam work on it? If the steam isn't working then the water-holding-parts (?) of it are probably broken. Although it could just be a seal if you're feeling daring enough for surgery...jus' saying.
Curiosity, you're using distilled water right? I've ruined two old iron's just by using tap water, hard water deposits and stuff.
Pfft. Not to brag...but my waters pretty metal, really hardcore ya know. Had to go completely opposite for the iron, nursery water...because babies aren't metal. Here I was thinking my metal water and my iron would be alloys....
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

You should make a demon octopus made entirely of recycled/up-cycled/re-purposed/re-used materials.
Like with thread/yarn...realized that could be confusing...after I posted and now I can't change the title. -_-
This may sound like a stupid question but is tatting hard? Is it at least comparable to some other kinda of yarn/string....craft. Like knitting or crochet or something.
I've been meaning to learn for a while now. To be honest, I'm a little intimated is all.
And then you need a special needle? I was all confused. My sister told me she does it with out a tatting needle, but she never got around to teaching me before she went home (outta state).
I'm fairly certain I have the right kind of thread and MAYBE the rest of the materials (???). But I don't really know where to go next. Anybody know any good sites to learn from, I'm usually pretty good at teaching myself things. I just don't want to have to go through you tube looking up random video's that are totally useless or teach you completely wrong. I wouldn't know the difference until I realize that nothing I do is working at all.
Lol That's what happened with the whole knitting thing. Apparently I knit backwards? Or like I'm left handed? I dunno but at least that one worked out in the end.
Any advice you guys could give to a nOOb would be fantastic, and greatly appreciated!
So I originally wasn't going to dress up for Halloween at all. Last minute I get invited to a Halloween party. Its tomorrow nite and I'm trying to throw something together really fast.
I'm going for something that's not to cliche. And I'm shooting for something to maintain a little bit of sex appeal without looking like a generic Halloween slut. Cause I mean, really, its october and its cold. So no thanks, I'd rather NOT freeze.
I just need help! Making something last minute isn't really an issue. I have at least all day tomorrow and most of today and wouldn't mind staying up all night either.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

One of my favorites, is going to the mall or something and looking around at what people are actually wearing, less so what's on the shelves. When I see those people who make me say to myself "What happened there?" I try to figure out how to improve it.
I can pull inspiration out of anywhere.
