Some Love Songs for Love Day

Obviously, this song is the top of the list because I walked down The Aisle to it.....

It's a version with an ad in front, but it's got the video clip which is very lovely.



Have you heard this song? Apparently it's on the TV2 ad, but I wouldn't know because we've stopped watching t.v. I can tell you it's on the radio alot though!



This one is just whimsical and lovely.....



And this one isn't strictly a love song, but it is so beautiful. So so beautiful.



Go hug someone you love.

A note on comments....

Blogger works really well for me, except for one thing which makes me grrrr..... It's quite tricky to follow up comments.

I've had some such wonderful, lovely comments lately, and mostly how I'd like to respond is to whip off a quick email reply- I know I don't often check back where I've commented unless I've asked a specific question. Unfortunately unless you activate your email in your privacy settings on your Blogger profile, I can't see your email address.

So maybe you might like to turn this on? You never know what might come your way......

(Also investigating a switch, maybe typepad? Any thoughts on what platform you like the best?)

Public Service Announcement :: Miracle Dandruff Cure

I was washing my hair today, and realised the shampoo I've been using has totally cured my dandruff. I thought I should tell you, because you might have dandruff too, and be looking for a miracle cure. (It's one of those things you don't realise is getting better until one day you remember you used to have dandruff that crippled your social life and now you don't. O.k. it wasn't quite that bad, but some days it sure felt like it!)

So, dandruff is kinda gross, which is whey they sell products like head and shoulders to cure your flaking scalp. And you know, I probably wouldn't be telling you about my miracle cure, but my flaking scalp really was awful. And so it means this cure is even better than you might originally have thought. (And way better than H&S, which in my opinion totally DOES NOT work!)



If you have a hippy supermarket, you can probably find it in the personal care section. Takaka, you have it (it's where I got mine). Motueka, it's probably fairly safe to assume you have it too. No judgements here. Otherwise you can get it from their website. Oh look they sell it in family sized containers too! (In case everyone in your family is prone to, as their website puts it, eruptions. Heh.) And now that my scalp is not flaking away from my head, maybe I can use the Vanilla and Coconut stuff, cos that sure sound like a winning combination!

(Just a note, this is a personal endorsment, and I have been in no way compensated to write this post. I have only used the Olive and Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner, and cannot recommend any of the other products, although they may well be just as good.)

Husqvarna Automatic / Viking 21A Sewing Machine Manual

This is my trusty sewing machine- I've posted about her before.



I get alot of request for the manual (last count 55!!) over on the old blog, and while I enjoy reading the stories behind where everyone is getting their new-old machine from, it's getting kind of hard to keep up, plus I know how much more satisfying it is to hit download and for the manual to appear!

So I've created a Google Site where I've uploaded the manual to. You should be able to easily download it from there. Let me know if you have any problems, and I will do my best to fix them.

Also, if you've recently aquired one of these machines- lucky you! A lovely old machine who will sew beautifully for you if you give her all the love and attention such an old girl deserves. Even if you think she is in good condition I would recommend taking her for a checkup- your local sewing shop should have someone they use. They will just give her a good clean and oil, and fix anything that may have seized up or stopped working. Well worth it!

Happy Stitching!
