Valentino, my youngest grandchild so far, had his first day in school today. Made him an embroidered "Schultüte". As he is half-italian and loves race sports like his father he wanted a race car and add-ons. Lot of work and not quite sure where I got t
Another project: Daughter Marie back from New Zealand wearing her apron which I posted earlier this year is getting more and more creative in the kitchen. I think she baked a very good cheese cake. It's gone already but was so yummy :-) De
So pleased with my new embroidery machine :-) Encountered only small problems (with bobbin tension) and found solution by rewinding it, so that the tension became stronger. Made an apron for my great niece. One of my daughters was my model Mean
