My sewing machine lives!

The biggest excitement of today, other than N's expertly cooked lamb shanks, was sitting down and testing out the sewing machine following Mum's poking about. It worked! I now have one finished tablecloth and six matching napkins.
I am so, so pleased. Watch this space for skirts being churned out factory style!

p.s. the chocolate cake has been devoured - there are two sad pieces left, so no photo. However, I will most definitely be making it again! Before I do, I think I need to get back to the gym...
