Hooray for Birthdays


Haven given birth to Little Miss two years ago a day before Father's Day ( it was a terrifically planned present that now cannot be out done) means that we always have cake on Father's Day. We did have cake on the day of her birthday but we also spoil ourselves and the extended family by eating more of this sugary delight.

Finally! the guy made the cake exactly the way I had asked (there have been mishaps before inlcuding just handing me a doll).

Here she is with her birthday dress and she's actually wearing the Heather Bailey headband that I made the night before. Wow.

The only mishap is discovering my lens was dirty after we cut the cake :(

At least we weren't the only ones with cameras. Now to get a decent pic of her smililng...

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.

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!

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...
