Soul food


Hello people. I'm still here. Still sane. Not much to show though I did try to make a camera cover and failed miserably. If you know of a good tute let me know.
Hubby bought me a new toy. It was on special so he decided I should have it.
When I saw how shiny and black it was I was in love. Now I can blog in bliss.
On the kiddies front I am doing well. We've reached the magical 6weeks and settling much better. Bub was colicky but is doing better since I've been watching what I've been eating. No acidic foods, less caffeine and stuff that gives you wind.


I took them all out yesterday to a community expo and it was heaps fun. It was easier than I thought. Craft tables do keep them busy. We had the good 'ol sausage and bread and I caught up with other mums who freak out when they meet all my kids. So nice to connect with others you know. Good for the soul.
The boy had fun running away from me in the school play field. Luckily I had Little Miss go fetch him which she delightfully did and called out "I got him" when she grabbed his hand. She'a gem for sure. I won a lucky door prize too which makes me feel special.

Oh, I may have hidden my giveaway in my last post. But you had to be a good reader to see my paragraph about it. I'll have none of that skimming blogs thankyou! Hee hee.
That being said.. thankyou to my TWO commenters: Melinda and Cherri! It's too sad to just pick one so you BOTH win. I'll see what I have in my stash for Cherri so please send me your addy's so I can post out goodies for you!

Life is soo busy but really good. Retail therapy helps! Hope you're ticking things off your Christmas list.

Christmas Book Giveaway!

** Giveaway closed ** EDIT: I've linked this up to the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day !! Giveaway ends Friday December 13th! When I recieve this box from Scholastic it IS like Christmas Day over and over again! I get so much enjoyment knowing that I'll be recieving quality books that will change my life and my children's lives. I truly believe in their motto: Read Every Day. Lead a Better Life. So true. That's why I've decided to have a book giveaway because they have sent me quite a few and I have to, need to, share the book love.

It has lovely illustrations inside and tells a story about what the animals are getting up to during Christmas time.  Here is the book Blossum Possum and the Christmas Quacker by Gina Newton and beautifully illustrated by Christina Booth. Blossum and her friends are desperately trying to wake up Koala Claus and it's a lovely jour

Invisible zipper foot - Birch

I thought I might shed some light on the invisible zipper foot. I bought a Birch model from Spotlight and it came in a little plastic bag with four blue shanks and a rolling foot. First I removed the standard foot from my Janome sewing machine (Sewist 521). I realised I still needed to remove the shank, which is the part that is screwed on, and holds the interchangeable feet. So with one hand holding the screwdriver and one hand holding my daughter, who just had to watch, it popped out disappeared somewhere. NO! I was about to kick myself but luckily I found it in the basket underneath my table. Phew. The Birch invisible zipper foot comes with one shank already in place so you know how it's suppose to fit. You have to select the correct shank that fits your machine and slide it onto the foot piece. I just tried each blue part on my machine and made sure it was wide enough to cover the metal leg bit and that I could fit the screw in it's side. Once you find the correct shank sl
