Another Project and a Birthday

I have been busy - well, work seems to take a lot of time and energy! that I haven't really been doing much in the sewing department.
Anyway, here's a glimpse into something I'm working on - sorry you will have to wait a little bit longer to see it complete!

The little girl had her birthday a week or so ago, and her sister made this cake:

Pocky biscuits around the outside of a lovely double sponge cake! We all made something French for tea - I made the French onion soup, which was the best ever! I think the secret is to sweat the onions slowly and longer (my recipe said 20 minutes, but I'm sure I did it for longer).
