Here we are at our weekly catch up of things that have made us smile. As always I have had many smiles and our little Peggy has given us many this week...
She's a real little poser and loves sitting out in our garden.

Hello all. For the first time in weeks I've actually felt like sewing....my Mojo has come back off his holidays....and I'm so thankful. I've kept up with the sewing that has come in through my door but not felt like looking for other sewing. I've not sewn for charity for ages so this week I pulled out the box I keep donated fabric in and ...
...I managed to cut out 7 story book cushions...they have a pocket in the front of each of them when made to hold a child's reading book.
I have also cut out loads of pieces ready to make some hair scrunchies.
I then set to and filled a basket with finished scrunchies....I know these sell well for the charity so feel pleased with my efforts.
I thought I'd share what came up as a memory on my Facebook page.....it really made me smile. This was the first Memory bear I made having designed the pattern to see how much interest I would get for them. This was 3rd August 2016.....and since then I've made 932 so it was well worth the effort wouldn't you say?
That's all from me for this week. I will do my best to pop to see what you've been up to this week....hope it's been a good one for you.
Hugs,

I've had a lovely week filled with smiles. I have had a few customers and met some really lovely people....I love my job.
We had the boys with us last weekend...
Saturday they went to Bewilderwood with their daddy and had a fun time together...the photos they shared made me smile a lot.
On Sunday the three of them went to Little owl wildlife farm...they loved all the animals and activities....so many smiles all round.
It's been a lovely week here at Sewing by Annie's.
I made this lovely Memory bear in memory of Bruno a beloved boxer dog that had died leaving his owner with a huge hole in her life. I made the bear from his favourite blankets and it will be going away on holiday with them in place of Bruno.
I can now share with you these pictures I have been working on. They are for my son for when he sets up his new home. They are rather better in real life because the glass on the pictures caused glare in the photos.
If you can read them you will see that they are all little sayings with special meanings...the one on the bottom right says 'Love you to the back and moon' which is something Louie says :-)
That's all from me for today. I will do my best to call by on as many as I can to see what you've all been up to this week.
Hugs,

It's been another lovely week here at Sewing by Annie's. Most days have been a little cooler and I have enjoyed a steady flow of customers. I must say sorry for not leaving you all comments last week [I did read all your posts]...my computer was playing silly games and refused to post them...I hope it plays nicely this week.
Our gorgeous Peggy celebrated her first birthday on Sunday and very quickly mastered the new educational toys we bought her....she's a clever little thing.
Our garden continues to bloom and give us lots to smile about.
My hubby has been replacing some of the sleepers in the garden while it's been a bit cooler...it will all look lovely when he's finished.
Hello all. I hope all is well and happy with you all. I've had a steady trickle of customers so far this week but it has still allowed me to finish the creative projects I've been working on....but I'm sorry to say I can't share them with you yet. [I have taken pics so will share them soon].
I did some special sewing this week for a lady who had had a mastectomy a couple of years ago and had treated herself to a bikini and swimming costume for an up and coming holiday but she came for me to adapt both to take her prosthesis. I love a challenge and it was so lovely to see the smile on her face at what I was able to do.
That's all from me for this week. I hope to be able to call by to see what you've all been up to this week.
Hugs,

I've mostly been smiling this week because it's rained at times and it's been rather cooler. I've only had one bridesmaid this week so I have been able to enjoy some creative time and we have popped out a few times for coffee and even lunch...bliss. This retirement lark is ok :-)
For those of you struggling in the heat Peggy says you can come and share her cool mat with her....she loves it.
Hello all. I don't have a lot to share with you today because business has been very quiet. I have been enjoying some creative time but a lot of it can't be shared on my blog.
I did applique a special card for a friend who has just qualified as a paramedic....we are so very proud of her.
I'm working on some special projects that needed some fussy cutting of flowers that are backed with bond a web. I've really enjoyed a bit of quiet time so I can be creative.....if only I was a bit less indecisive [I'm a true Libran lol].
That's all I can share with you as yet but I will take pics of the fiished items and share with you when I can.
Hugs,
Annie x
