This is a Brand New book in excellent condition. Format: HardcoverAuthor: Marcy PuseyISBN10: 1948283751ISBN13: 9781948283755 Kids deserve a safe place to live and grow and learn. For some kids, this means living with foster or adoptive parents. Speranzas Sweater chronicles one childs experience through the foster and adoptive system. Speranza wears her sweater everywhere, hanging onto the last memories of her birth home, until its threadbare. Like her unraveled sweater, Speranza must weave together a new story, bringing threads from her past and strands from her present, into a future of love, family, and the true meaning of home.In this heart-warming and reassuring story, children are offered permission to feel and experience their own story authentically. It provides hope and support for the many mixed emotions a child will experience during their foster and adoption journey, through the unraveling and re-weaving of a favorite sweater. Speranza also introduces children to potential life experiences of foster and adopted classmates, friends, or family members. By reading Speranzas story with your child, and discussing the experience of a child in a similar situation, you can create a safe space to talk about feelings of grief, loss, excitement, confusion, anger, sadness, or any of the many other feelings accompanying removal, foster care, and adoption.Speranzas Sweater also includes a dictionary of words to empower children and their carers by understanding the language used around them.

"Every child who sews with a will should have a wee birdie to help with his bill."I have long been fascinated with some of the clever inventions of the past, the sewing bird being one of them. The sewing bird, also known as a sewing clamp, hemming clamp, or third hand, was used in the 18th and early 19th centuries to attach one end of a piece of cloth firmly to a table to enable the seamstress to hold her sewing taut with one hand while stitching with the other.(Image Source) Commonly used in the Victorian home, this third hand clamps to a table while the beak holds the fabric to be sewn. Depressing the tail releases the beak enabling the fabric to be repositioned or removed. Before the invention of the sewing machine, clothing, sheets, and other household items were sewn by hand, this handy little clamp was often used for hemming. (Reproduction Sewing Bird for sale at Victorian Trading Company) Early clamps can be traced to the late 17th century. The "sewing bird" came into fashion early in the 18th century. Invented in the Georgian period in England, it was the first device that allowed the material to be moved without having to loosen the clamp. Many were made for the travel trade and were used for advertisements. Most were made of polished and turned wood or iron. Victorian clamps were made of brass, iron, steel and painted wood. (Image Source) In America the first sewing birds were called "grippers." Not used widely until mid-19th century, they became popular as a luxury item, which a young man would present to his intended bride months before the wedding. These were made in many varieties; birds with or without a pin cushion, on a spindle or not, deer, dogs, fish, frogs, snakes, dolphins, cherubs and people. Small thread winders, spool holders, netting hooks and rug braiders were also common. (Antique Sewing Bird) After the invention of the sewing machine the need for grippers was diminished but they were still manufactured as novelties. The Singer Sewing Machine Company produced a few as late as 1980. These original inexpensive novelties of yesteryear are expensive antique collectibles today. (Reproduction Sewing Birds sold at My Secret Shelf) I have seen these marvels in antique stores but don't actually own one, however, I had a need for making my own version of a "sewing bird". I found myself frustrated at always have to run to my sewing basket while crafting when I needed a handy pin, needle, or thread. I began my solution with a faded pale blue feed sack, an old cork/metal bottle stopper, and a vintage iron receipt holder found at a flea market... I sketched a little bird body, tail, and wings onto the feed sack with a Mark-B-Gone marker adding detail lines to the body, tail, and wings, which I then stitched over in brown embroidery floss... After the pieces were stitched together and stuffed, I removed the marker lines with a damp cloth and then used Fabri-tac to attach the tail and wings... I used a strong glue (E-6000) to glue the bottle stopper to the bottom of a small purchased twig and moss nest... And then I glued the bird into the nest, tacking the wings to the sides of the nest... I slipped spools of thread onto the receipt holder and pushed the cork bottle stopper down onto the sharp tip of the holder, then filling my sewing birds nest with needful supplies, like a mini scissor tucked under one wing (These were a gift from my sweet friend Pam and they are so sturdy and cut so well)... A large needle and thimble under the other wing... Pins and needles perch on the back of the bird... A little surprise pocket in the tail conceals a needle threader (I hate to admit that my eyes are just not what they used to the and I actually need one of these now!)... Here is my new sewing bird sitting on the worktable and all ready for service with no more running to the sewing basket! (For more great sewing ideas visit http://topreveal.com/diy-sewing-craft-ideas) They say that necessity is the mother of invention. I truly believe that and I am very happy with how my little version of a handy and helpful "sewing bird" turned out. "Sew", if you could create a needful invention to solve one of your problems, what would it be? ""Blessings, Miss Sandy
Fast 4 Monate hatte ich das Vergnügen in Lissabon zu leben und die Stadt so richtig kennenzulernen. Definitiv meine liebste Art zu Reisen, wenn man wirklich Zeit hat einen Ort kennenzulernen und ihn zu seinem zu Hause zu machen. Als Local darf ich mich natürlich trotzdem von lange nicht bezeichnen -

60cm Cork Pinboards upholstered in original Cafes Do Brasil coffee sacks. Handmade with care, these boards are fabric backed and come with a hook ready to hang. They look great on their own, but you can pin postcards, photos, tickets, invites, memo's, shopping lists and use the vibrant fabric bunjees to display those items that you don't want to put a pin through! These make an excellent addition to a home office, kitchen or bedroom, or work place coffee area - useful and beautiful, they add a powerful pop of colour and graphic to any wall. At 60cm diameter they are big enough to be useful but light enough to hang easily above a home desk or in a hall. They have a 6mm cork layer, deep enough for pins to stay in, and the hessian thread of the coffee sack means that the top fabric is hard working too. Perfect for the coffee, graphics, colour & travel lovers, for the organised, and the 'need to get organised' - these hand made pinboards with sustainable and revalued materials, are quite simply useful objects, made well - they make excellent birthday, wedding and new home presents, oh and of course, perfect for self gifting too!
