What type of sewing machine do you use?
We currently share a sewing machine. It is a Pfaff Tiptronic 2040 that we purchased from the International Quilt Festival in Houston, when we were living in Texas. The features that we like best include:
- IDF Integrated Dual Feed so we don't need to use a separate walking foot
- automatic needle threader,
- needle up/down function
- dual speed (very handy when teaching kids to sew)
- dual voltage (this was handy when we moved back to Australia)
We also use an Elna 654 Overlocker (serger), predominantly when dress making.
What type of camera do you have?
I have a Canon 450D (Rebel XSi) with twin lens kit. I also purchased a EF 50mm macro lens which is great for close-ups of food and craft items. I use Corel Paint Shop Pro to edit photos.

Why did you call your blog A Spoonful of Sugar?
When we started our blog that was the first name that came to us! As we dabble in a range of crafts and love to bake, we thought this suited our blog content. We have always loved the songs from Mary Poppins - such happy music.

Our in-house graphic designer, aka Sarah, has designed our header and buttons.
