Happy Easter


Happy Easter! I hope yours was great and filled with choc bunnies.

I made a chocolate mud cake which turned out not too bad.


We've got a little stash of bunnies. They're delicious.

Looky here. Some goodies I bought recently on sale:
hot glue gun, bobbins, ribbon and all-purpose thread.
The kids went psycho so I had to leave Spotlight before I could grab any fabric :(
I'm going to try some new patterns for Winter as it's getting rather chilly here.
Might stick to kiddy sewing for a bit.
I don't want to sound like a broken record but I really do want to have another go at knitting a cardigan or something for the baby. I am just terrible at counting rows so I really must use my row counter. Knitting is so therapeutic.

The kids will be starting daycare this week so I hope it all goes well.

It means more time for me at home if only baby J will sleep longer than her cat naps.

Signing off for now.

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.

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...
