Now there is nothing in my kitchen that I do not use regularly. My sewing machines are due for a weed out now, one of the cabinet Singers and one freestanding will have to go. I will make the cut this weekend I already have homes lined up for both. I have a limited amount of space and my new Treadle is a "Big Girl". I love fabric but as i also love sewing as some comes in so some goes out and the level stay pretty constant.

Postage is free so it won't cost anything except a bit of time. I've recently made £20 for some items I was going to get rid of anyway. You could maybe make some money to go towards those repairs to your plasterwork and skirting.Helenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963972925920465515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-52005043220370870632013-12-08T19:08:19.330+00:002013-12-08T19:08:19.330+00:00Be brave ... the cook book thing has to be done!
