Hi Cathy! I know here in the US that you can buy a Bobbin winder machine from craft/sewing stores or Amazon for around $40 or so! I don’t know which brand would be reliable but I hope that may help. Search Automatic Bobbin winder, some brands are Sidewinder, Handi Quilter, Brother, Simplicity.

Beautiful!

I love the daffodils, particularly the loose ones you say you would like to paint again. They make such a lovely pattern.

Your story telling has made me smile and I am wondering what happened to the woman in the platform boots 😊

I haven't finished reading yet! I had to come and talk about Venus. She IS in the morning sky, though low now, as she rises with the dawn in the South East. You may well have seen her 🥰

Jupiter is shining brightly, high up, in the evening sky to the South.

Yes, the glow in the dark paint on clocks used to have radium in it, but not now, as it killed the workers painting them. A lesson in why not to lick your paintbrush. There’s an app called sky tonight which will tell you interesting things if you have a smart phone, but I think Jim has a web browser based on he looks at. Mars Venus and Jupiter are all about, the first two in the morning. I think i remember making daffodils from egg cartons? The egg holder bit made a trumpet.
