14 Alphabet boxes ... all to be delivered tomorrow for the photo shoot on Friday...
all was going well...
....7 were done when.... BANG! CLUNK! 'nooooooooooooo!'
my much-mended-often -breaking machine got stuck. I had to take the needle out to remove the sewing .... I phoned John (who is the fixer of often-breaking machine) and he has declared it dead. He can fix it no more.

what to do???
well I bit the bullet.... and went to my local sewing machine shop (literally 1 minute away from my house!)
And this little beauty is my new stitching machine!
(isn't it nice how the machine matches my pincushion!!)

I quickly had a little test sew, then cracked on and finished my 7 other boxes!
I have to say that this machine is amazing....I went for a basic model because all I do is sew straight stitch, forwards & backwards...no fancy stitches needed here!
and the boxes?
all done and posted...here they are ::
there are a few gadgets on the new machine that I already don't know how I've ever sewn without them....I'll take some photos and show you another day!
