What an amazing week it has been. I ended up on Friday needing just 4 more customers to reach my 1000th customer and 3 of those came Monday leaving just one to reach my gaol. As you will notice on my last post I had my 1000th customer yesterday. It had already been a manic day because customer number 999 had brought materials for me to make 12 lined curtains for her newly purchased caravan[you all know how much I love curtain making!!] and needed them making for Friday!!! Twiglet arrived early yesterday morning to help me with the cutting and making and all day was spent working hard to get them done. It was very much like a sweat shop here!
You can all imagine that when customer 1000 arrived were both so excited that there was lots of singing, dancing and celebrating. Please help yourselves to a glass to help us celebrate.
Now, as to what's on my worktop today....
It's very much back down to earth today because my 'to do' rail is heaving having not had time to clear it yesterday and I have a bride coming at 10.00 for a fitting. Here's just a few snaps for you to share.
My heaving 'to do' rail!! All of which has to be done today or tomorrow!
A short posh frock I have to alter today. It has a boned bodice and I have to take it in! [big job]
My latest little dumfed bear still in the making!...still needing tweaking and facial features.
The gorgeous dresses I steamed last week for the wedding we went to Saturday.....
....and for you card makers the card I made for them.
Yes I do make a few but not with all the wonderful equipment some of you use.
And of course my biggest reveal this week....Yes girls I managed to snap Twiglet whilst she was putting the finished touches to my latest new top.

A big fat CONGRATULATIONS from the US. Way to go. Like you, I make one card in a blue moon or so. Love yours and it goes to show you don't need a lot of fancy equipment to make art.
You have a lot going this week. And so glad to finally "meet" Twiglet. Great photo, too. Happy WOYWW.
Sorry about the confusion love to meet up some time just say when l'm free Friday to Sunday but any time possible for me really

I love wednesdays and calling in to see your busy life!
I love seeing your 'to do' rail, it always fascinates me that people cant turn up their own trousers but when it comes to making proper alterations, Im stuffed!!
Im with you on curtain making - isnt it just one of the most boring sewing tasks?! Now there's a thought...
Congrats again Annie!
