Tips on Choosing a New Sewing Machine

There are so many new brands and makes of sewing machines these days that it is hard for the new sewer to choose which one to buy.

Brands of Sewing Machines:

  • Janome
  • Brother
  • Juki
  • Singer 
That is just to name a few of the more popular machines.

Personally, I Prefer the Janomi. You will of course need to decide if you need something with the basic  stitches, or if you want one that does a lot of fancy stitches.  This one does 30 basic stitches. 







although if you just want one that you can mend something now and again, I suggest buying a cheaper one like this

Singer M1000 and this still does 32 fancy stiches, but is a lot cheaper. Which is great if you are new to sewing and just want to make a few articles now and then or for instance I started making quilts on one very similar to this and after a year decided to get something a bit bigger.  The choice is yours entirely. 






You will of course need Needles  



This little bundle of needles will give you all the different sizes for whatever type of thickness material you are sewing with.  As I said before read your sewing machine manual to learn which ones to use.

Bobbins preloaded buy here 



Whichever machine you buy remember to read, read and practice on a piece of material first, before you try to sew something and find that you have destroyed your lovely piece of material or pattern.

Well I think we have covered enough here for you to start on your new sewing career or just sew for the love of it.  I surprised myself when the kids were young, I made their dresses etc. but never did a lot of sewing.  Then when I turned 76, I started quilting and yes, I bought more expensive machines with bigger throats as it was easier to work with the heavy materials especially now as I am in my 80's. 
So you never know where your sewing may lead you. 
 
Remember read the manuals, whichever machine you buy.  Plus, you need to make sure that you thread your machine correctly and get your tension right.

Above all have fun and I hope this will help you choose a new machine.  



Tips on Preparing for Bringing a New Baby into your Family

Everyone has been told about the new arrival into the family.  Now as the mother you have to not only prepare for the baby but make sure that you take care of yourself during this pregnancy.

  • Find a doctor: You need to find a doctor that you have confidence in.
  • Learn all you can about the process of childbirth and make plans for the new arrival.
  • Take childbirth classes especially if you are a first-time parent. 
  • Prepare a safe nursery with all the essential items.
  • Pack your bag for hospital, never leave it until the last minute.
Preparing your nursery

Things you will need:

Change Table-  These do not have to be expensive, and they do not have to be new.  You can buy one from a friend or from a second hand store and repaint it so it looks brand new. 






Bassinette- Again this can be one given to you and then wash and paint to look brand new or you can buy one like this one






Nappies- this is something that you will need loads of.  You can either have cloth ones or disposable. I know the cloth ones are more work. But have you thought of the toxic waste that the disposable nappies create.  That's right think long and hard if you want to help create a greener place for your new baby to live in. 




Washable Reusable 6pack for girls or boys  buy these here


Last but not least you still need a diaper bag to carry all these things in check this one out 


Well, I think that is about it for now.  I hope these suggestions will hope you to have a happy healthy new baby, whether it is a boy or girl I am sure it will bring more love into your family.

Don't forget to plan for this beautiful baby and save your money and prepare for those extra costs that this baby will bring.

Writing as a Family With Similar Craft Interests

I have enjoyed writing for years as a novice although I now write together with my daughter on another site.  We share the same interests like photography, crafts,  mosaics, crochet, and my husband also enjoys working with glass which we love the things he makes.



This is Sharon's latest project of Mosaics the nearly finished bird bath that will go next to their fish pond. Do you think the birds will think they will catch a fish for dinner when they first get to see this?

Looks great now it finished.



My daughter works full time yet she still has time to do these and believe me it is not always easy. Especially as she has teenagers that keep her busy as they are both planning their weddings one year apart, so she has to save for these too.  Many times she has cuts all over her fingers from cutting tiles and when she includes glass into her creations as this is sharper still when creating these things.

Personally I prefer to travel, although yes I do crochet, create shell novelties and spend time with my camera taking photos of birds.  This is another interest that we share as Sharon has a bigger camera and lens than me and takes her photography more serious.

You can find many ideas for buying these glass mosaic pieces to create your own planter or whatever you would love to make.

Aren't these lovely and colorful

Earn Extra Money for Christmas from Home or online


Looking for a new way to Earn Money


There are so many ways to earn money these days. Whether it is from  
writing or other ways.  I would like to give you a few ideas that I have tried.  No you may not become a millionaire over night. In fact I know you wont but you have to start somewhere, right? 

I started writing on the net about 2007 then when I become a pensioner it all changed.  I had to declare every cent that I earned.  In the end it became to much of a hassle so I turned off all my earnings.

Now that pensioners are allowed to earn extra money I have started to write again.  I did not realise just how much I missed it until I started again.


Here are a few ideas


There are several sites that anyone can write articles, Poems or short stories.  Articles can be about personal experiences or products that you have used and want to promote.

One such site is HUBPAGES You can earn money from people clicking on ads or through Amazon.

Home Made Christmas Gifts from your Kitchen

Have you ever thought of making your friends and family a Christmas gift right from your own kitchen.
Many people are sick of receiving gifts that are purchased from a shop.  In most cases the person has not really even put any thought into purchasing the gift.

They are often in a hurry and just run into the shop and grab the first thing they see. There is a better option. Why not make something with your own two hands. Something that the person will know that you actually put an effort into making especially for them.  Simply because they really care about you, that's why they have spent hours making this gift to give you.





Make something from your own Kitchen

There are many things that you could do like bottling pickled onions, olives or cooking your favorite apple pie.

Keeping our pets memories alive

We all love our pets no matter what type of pet we have.  It is amazing how many people think so much of our pets, always thinking ours is the best.  I know we do.

We all dread that time when we may no longer have them with us so we have to make sure we have so many memories in our photo albums, or on our computers.

Photographs
Capture all those memories by taking photos whenever you can.  These will make you laugh or cry when you no longer have your loved one with you.  Keep your wonderful mate with you forever with photos
This photo was taken when our dog was a pup. I am so glad I have this photo as we lost our wonderful cat Ninja a couple of months later.  Although he did have a great innings and gave us 16 years of wonderful memories.

How do you cope after losing your best friend that is not just a dog, he is part of your family. Do you rescue another dog and give him a chance of being in a loving family.
