Kids Room


This is the childrens bedroom. They have two Soho single beds and I just bought this new bookshelf for them from here when it had $2 shipping! It came flat packed two days later. I un-earthed it from the box while the baby was asleep and set it up with a screwdriver. It would have taken me only 20mins if I wasn't fussy about how the front looked and I had to take the sides and top apart to fix it up. The construction and materials are very good except for the backing. It's a light panel and the screws they give you come through if you're not careful (like me). Probably best to nail in the back so you don't chip off a bit of the shelving from the inside.

It's a very sturdy bookshelf and I love that it has those baskets for their toys. I might cover one side of the baskets with decorator fabric if I get bored enough. I like that it makes it a bit harder for the almost 2yr old to pull out everything like she does. It's not even her room the crazy little girl.
I love it even though hubby is not happy I spent the money. There was nothing wrong with the last one.
Well, yeah, I didn't like the other one (which came from council pick-up) and we never had any books in it.

Husbands.... you can't live with them..... that is all.

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...
