So happy to be back in the group!
My decrepit sewing table - the one with the failing veneer - has been scraped back to bare and revarnished at last and on Thursday I even got the machine out for the first time since about October. It was only to repair the seam on DH's work trousers, but it's a start. We have a new recruit at work so my workload should revert back to something more like part-time and I'll get time to do some real sewing done soon.
