We laugh about all the gardening programmes on TV - far too busy here working in the garden to watch them
I love your seed sorter Sam - what a clever and simple idea
What make and model is your embroidering machine? There seem to be so many out there that I haven't been able to choose one.
I have recently restored two old sewing machines. One is a Singer which belonged to an old lady of 94 when she died, who had clearly used the machine a lot but had never either oiled or cleaned it. It's running beautifully now except that it's suddenly started clogging under the stitch plate - can't quite get to the relevant bit. The other is a very old Wilcox and Gibbs from the 1800s, which I used to use for years (it does chain stitch rather than linked so has no lower bobbin) Unfortunately the removals men dropped it during one of our gazillion moves and broke off the cotton reel holder so unless OH is inspired to machine me a new one it's never going to work again. I also have a Jones treadle machine which my mum used and which I learned on as a child, but that is next on the restoration list. Oh, and I have an electric machine which I bought with my first pay packet, but it doesn't embroider.......
