To Do List


That's us: me, Little Miss, Little Man and Daddy, (newphew in law in the corner).

I'm officially on maternity leave! I get one year off with a portion of it being paid leave. Hurray!
There are so many things on my To Do List:

Number One: A pair of Pajama's
I've decided to join Sew Mama Sew's Sept. Theme.
I've stashed a pj pattern for about a year now which is perfect for this summer.



Number Two: Things for Baby
I want to make some terry cloth burpies, carrier canopy, finish the quilt and knit a baby beanie.
Number Three: Things that can wait.
Summer gear for the toddlers, curtains, cushion covers, whatever else I'm fancying in blogland.
I have to say it's so relieving to know that I don't have to get up and head out to work. I stay up at night tidying the house while they are asleep. I write in my diary and sometimes read a parenting book. It's therapeutic to write down your thoughts. I've read it does help you deal with emotional issues etc. I use to write in a diary when I was much younger, say age 11 and then sporadically throughout my life. I've picked it up again. It does take some time but it's worthwhile to get things off my chest.
Moving on, 35 weeks now and very excited to start washing newborn clothes.
Let the nesting begin!

    35 weeks Kim - oh I am so excited for you! You are about to meet your new baby!

    I too work on lists - everyday! Honestly, I would achieve little if I didn't have a list. It just makes things clearer for me.

    Have fun getting through your wish list and packing the hospy bag - all the best dear xxoo

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
