Busy Busy Weekend ahead!

Wow what a weekend lying ahead! Here is a sneak peak of what's coming up! Unfortunately no crafting or sewing! It is my son's 9th birthday on Sunday and we will have his birthday party today after school. It is getting so much "easier" the older they get hahaha. Just boys their bikes, cricket kits and a big big lawn to play on! Best part is NO CAKE - I saw on another blog somewhere a doughnut "cake" and will be doing that. Easy peasy - boerewors rolls (hot dogs) some chips and sweets, juice and the doughnuts!

Tonight I have a ladies nite with a very dear friend of mine! Can't wait I know it is gonna be a blast! Already dreading the headache I will have to suffer in silence on Saturday!
 (Love you Babes!)

Early tomorrow morning setting foam party stuff up for another birthday party! Then off to the Pond (nice river) for MBA and companies Christmas Parties! Playing on the Jetski's and boat's! Maybe I will try my hand on some water skiing! Only problem gravity baby - the ladies will know what I mean lol!

Sunday still undecided - all due to weather. But Sunday is my "baby boy's" 9th birthday! Wow they grow up so fast!

Well as you can see busy busy will post pic as we go along!

Happy Thanks Giving to everyone and enjoy your weekend!

OK I need to get going now still so much to do and buy lol for this afternoon's party!

Covertitch...... to buy or not to buy??

I have a Bernina 700D over locker and it is not compatible with a cover stitch foot. I had a look at our local Bernina dealer and thought of upgrading my over locker and the owner showed me a Nina CoverPro 1000CP. I did some internet searches and read allot about the Jerome model (looks the same).

 I do sew allot for my children - tshirting, jersey knit ect! I always have to hem ect with a twin needle and sometimes I am too lazy and leave it raw hehehe.

Any info would be greatly appreciated! O and the best is the price so much cheaper than to upgrade my over locker!

 Ok I think I am starting to convince myself hahahah. Hopefully will show you all my new toy soon!?!

Post of SHAME!!

As I said previously - it is time to sort out my craft/sewing room! I am not proud of putting these pic on my blog but I am doing it to remind me to keep it neat and tidy!

Beware I think I must put a PG rating on these pic's lol (I am turning redder and redder in the face;)

Oh my!! Where is my Pazzles?

There you are! This is what happens if I leave the room at 2:30pm

I Think there is 2 machines in there?

There you are!

This area look the best so far lol;)

Presser feet anyone!

And some more!

Needles and more needles - can never have enough!

Oh how nice - all in its place!

This little iron perfect for bias tape and seams

My newest addition - my Zutter binder! Reminds me to follow up on mu o-wire order

Oops will not forget you outside - thinks the lawn needs a cut too!

And what might be in here??

PATTERNS Oh no still have to sort these!



So as you can see it is getting there! Doing the patterns now then more craft stuff and finally I have to get some color in that room! Only dull ideas can come from Dull surroundings lol.

I you don't hear from me soon please send the rescuers as I might need it!

Feeling much better about craft/sewing room just wish it was a bit bigger than 3 x 3m - but it is workable!

Thoughts are running away from me with ideas to jazz it up and what to sew!

So let me get down to business and sort the final nitty gritties!

Getting Orginized - TODAY!!!!

Today is the day - me and the sewing room! Time to get everything in it's place and hopefully there will be some time to start tracing a pattern!

I just know it's gonna be a long night!!! It's always OK, I finished tracing lets just quickly pin, I can just as well cut, let me just sew this bit! Then a grumpy hubby comes in and tell me to get to bed as it is 2 in the morning!!!

Well first I have to clean up, I have been crafting with my Pazzles and there is paper, glue, glitter ect EVERYWHERE!

Watch this space some sewing stuff will be posted hopefully sooner than later!

Enjoy your day!
