Round And Round…Cakes And Cushions

Bob has a staff meeting in the Church Office every Tuesday morning, so he thought that as it was his birthday, there should be cake. So he made Delia Smith’s chocolate all-in-one sponge, iced and filled it with chocolate ganache, and sprinkled it very generously with chocolate balls. Looks good doesn’t it?

Meanwhile I was busy with a friend’s rather misshapen and sad looking cushion – I recovered it in a piece of fabric she gave me, and added a button, to make it look much happier.

I suspect that in the Great Packing Up which will be upon us shortly, the sewing machine will be among the last items to get packed!

  4. Undoubtedly the sewing machine will be whirring to the very end. Gifting the nation from the Great Stash. The Great British Packing Bee begins.
