WOYWW and a wonderful week.....

What a wonderful week it's been since last WOYWW.

Friday was Paula's visit with her body bag full of bear parts. For those that don't know what I'm talking about you can see Paula's blog about the murderous deed. We had a wonderful time together and I'm sure Paula felt, like me, that we had known each other for years. Thank you Julia for being responsible for bringing us all together. It was really good to meet her for real and to see what a remarkable recovery she was making after her major surgery. As our special day was coming to an end I had a phone call from our Daughter saying she was in labour enabling Paula to feel she was part of a very exciting time in our family.

As you can see from previous blog we are now proud grandparents to our second little Granddaughter, a baby sister for little P. Little L came out of hospital with her mummy before lunch having not arrived til 3.27 am. I'm happy to report she is feeding and doing all she should and of course has won the hearts of all who's met her. I'm a very proud Mum and Nanny Annie.

Monday arrived after a weekend of catching up on the missed sleep with all our exciting events. My new 'Really useful boxes' arrived just before Twiglet.

As for 'really useful' I'm not sure the delivery man would agree :-) They arrived in 3 huge boxes and were as much as he could manage to carry to the house.







Our Fun Day Monday was spent emptying, sorting and refilling my new boxes with my stash of materials [and there is a lot of it!]
I'm so chuffed with them. I now have all the materials, I want regular access to, in places I can now reach and all my fur fabric store is now in see through boxes exactly where I know where to find it. It took us all day to do and I have to say a huge Thank you to Twiglet for all her help. Without her I really would have struggled and now we both know where to find any fabric we need.






I do have to say though I'm not sure Twiglet has quite got the right idea for the Wedding/Bridal shelf in our shop :-)







We also announced the winners of our Bridal challenge and the 3 gifts are now on their way to the winners.

3 Lucky winners.....

1. Ink on my fingers....Hels Sheridan
2. Love to stitch bee free designs......Stitch, stitch, stitch
3. Sue's crafty designs....Sue H

Last night was one of 'those' night where Twiglet and I have to amuse ourselves while our men go to watch Shrewsbury Town football team play a game they call football [can you tell how much I love it?]. We dumfed, laughed, beaded, laughed, dumfed, laughed....I guess you get the picture. Yet another night to treasure was had by us both.

I will show you my latest pic. It now just needs backing and it will then be finding a space in the blog shop. I'm hoping Twiglet will at some point show and tell what she made because it's lovely [I won't give away her secrets] and another fun thing we did last night will probably be blogged some time soon but you will just have to watch this space cos I am unable to show and tell just yet.



Today I just have to take in the boned bodice on a posh frock, shorten 2 pair trousers, shorten a skirt and let out the seat on a pair of trousers.....and of course catch up with all my WOYWW friends [it really does fill my day on a Wednesday cos I aim to drop in on you all]. If you want to join in the fun please pop over to Julia's....you never know what friendships you will make :-)
