Happy Wednesday to one and all. These weeks are really whizzing by aren't they? I'm having a catch up day today cos I had a 'Nanny Annie' day yesterday. M popped out for the day with the twins so the sewing was firmly put on the 'to do' rail....it can always wait cos my little Grandies will be all grown up before I know it.
So folks whats on my desks today?
Here is my table covered with the gorgeous fabric kits Jo from Jozart bought for our new arrivals so I'm busy working on these in between other jobs....I know the babes will have to be rather older before they will play with them but I really am enjoying all the snipping, sewing and stuffing.
My sewing desk is showing off two new Really Useful Boxes that now hold my cones of thread used for overlocking.....these should keep some of the dust out [that is if I ever put the tops on! ]
Here you can see two lovely pieces of fabric that I intend making a couple of little dresses for little Lexi. Twiglet took a pattern off a little dress that fits Lexi well and has already made her 3 little dresses so running up a couple more will be easy.
My ironing board is covered with Christmas fabrics. I have so many! I plan to make my Christmas cards and stockings using these :-)
Watch this space as they say :-)
This is a pot full of Cuttlebugged flowers cut from some of the Christmas fabrics and a sheet of cross stitched little robins.....wonder what these will become?.....even I don't know yet :-)
And finally for those that like to see how the twinnies are growing here is the latest photo.... awwwwww. I snapped this quick for you yesterday while they were here with me for the day with their Mummy.
Their Mummy and Daddy are doing such a great job that they now weigh in at...
Sam 9lb 13oz
and
Lexi 7lb 14oz

So folks that's what's on my 'desks' today. Clutter clutter everywhere and lots to do on my 'to do' rail too :-) Please leave me a little 'hello' comment before you move on to the 'Queen of snoop's' blog and join in the WOYWW fun [and of course to find out more if you are the one person in the world that hasn't heard what WOYWW is yet].
Morning Annie...they are so cute and growing well, Mum looks like she is fighting fit again too, after such a worrying time
ReplyDeleteHuge hugs to all xx
ps...do you use a brad maker for the rolls?
ReplyDeletehUGS X
WOW...great post, but you have sooooooo much going on. And those babies are getting big..precious you are so lucky to be close in distance to enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteI could use one of your rolls..it would be tasty with the chicken salad I'd made earlier.
Have fun with all your projects and have a Happy WOYWW.
So much going on at your place, How cute are those baby's & the robins, happy woyww
ReplyDeleteI haven't been around for a while but I see you are still a busy bee - baking in the morning???? Ohhhh wonderful! Your little angels are gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs,
Cardarian
Thanks Annie..l'll have a chat next time l visit about the brand of maker
ReplyDeleteThanks hugs x
Ooooh I have soup for lunch today and one of those rolls would go down a treat! The Noah's ark looks like it is going to be great and I am constantly amazed how young to how old kids can play with things. T 2 older cousins love all his younger toys (there is a 2 and 4 year age gap) they just use them in different ways!). Great to see the grandies looking so well and their mummy to. They can change so fast (still do mind you!) wish my mum had your view point on kiddies. I am lucky if she sees T once every 2 months and they are only half an hour away - oh well!
ReplyDeleteMy, how they're growing... what a fab post today and those rolls look gorgeous... thank you!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, Helen 12
Lovely post all finished off with that super photo of M and the twins. Wow, they all look great :D
ReplyDeleteLike the look of all your fabric, be good to see what all that ends up as! I'm in a really busy patch at the moment, got stuff selling on a mate's table at a week long Christmas fair and then have got one of my own at the weekend. And then the silly season starts with the band. Ah well, keeps me out of mischief!
Hugs, LLJ #45 xx
Fab post - those little ones are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIs 9.45am too early for lunch, those rolls look yum, as do those babes IYKWIM!

Hard to believe the twins have grown so much - a very big AAAW moment.
ReplyDeleteLove all your photos today - my you have been busy with that camera and it looks as if you are going to be busy in the days to come. Thanks for sharing with us - Hugs, Neet #9
Where to start...you are so busy and productive. I LOVE the ark and animals below ...how perfect is that.
ReplyDeleteLove your organization ..I expect you have to be as you do SOOOO much.
The rolls sound amazing ... fantastic with home made soup I bet ...or the dough would be out of this world as a pizza base.
I haven't tried fabric on my Big Shot ....do you back it with anything first to stop fraying ??
I cant believe how much the twins have grown ...I was trying to remember actually how old they are now 'cos B and J were several months before they were as heavy as Lexi. Give them a kiss for me xx x
Hi there; thank you for sharing your place of creativity with us this week, it was great to pop in and visit. Lots to see as usual, and those rolls smell great!

Lovely photos there - that noahs ark is great isnt it. I used to love sewing things like that for my boys - although I did do a tell the time one years ago for my nephew and could never find it again to make one for my two :(. Actually you might be able to advise me - I have been doing more sewing lately and have a Bernina Virtuosa machine - do you think its worth me investing in a sew table to make the workspace bigger? Not sure whether to put one on my Christmas list or not and they are about £100 so need to decide carefully! thanks and have a great week. Sunshine Girl – No 34
ReplyDeleteI always get such a homely and cosy feeling here - all that sewing, bread and babies! Look forward to seeing the weeny dresses - wishing lots of creative puff this week, Thanks for sharing today, Sarah at 2.

Oh Annie, it’s always such a joy to visit your blog because there’s always so much to see……..mind you I could have done without seeing those rolls…….since joining Slimming World I think I would kill for a slice of bread Lol!
ReplyDeleteLoving the cross stitched robins, did you stitch them yourself (and if you did how on earth did you find the time)
Such a beautiful photo of M and little ones too. Aren’t they getting big.
Happy Sewing!

Umm those bread rolls look yummy. Twinnies looking adorable. Great fabrics and beautifully organised threads.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post Annie! The rolls smelt great from here, and the twinnies look adorable. Mum and Dad seem to be coping so well. Got scared seeing all the material that Superwoman is about to tackle :) Belated Happy WOYWWS! Hugs, Di xx
ReplyDeleteNice to see Noah's Ark is coming on lovely. And thanks for the roll - I am starving today for some reason!!
ReplyDeleteNice to see my namesake is doing so well!! They are both gorgeous!
Thanks for your visit. No need for me to leave my number as you found me yesterday!!
Have you found Monkey yet? Do you think she is sulking because you diverted your attention to the new boxes? LOL!
Lovely post Annie, bet there's none of those yummy rolls left now! That Noah's Ark project is going to be great, no rush to finish it though as you say. Beautiful twinnies photo, everyone looks so well, amazing to think of what they went through to get here.

Thank you for bringing us up to date with the adorable littlies. they are doing so well - enjoy them while they are little, in fact all the time.You have so many lovely crafty things going on in your place this week. I love to see all that you are doing.
ReplyDeletePS I have just taken the Chelsea buns out of the oven so our house smells divine too. Love the idea of those Parmesan and tomato buns though. hugs Maggie #82 (Remembered my number this time.)
ReplyDeleteHi Annie,
ReplyDeleteHaven't been able to blog or comment much lately due to seversal family health problems. Great to see the twinnies with their Mum. Love the ark and animals that you are making them. I have managed to make a Christmas Elf for my daugther from scratch. She only gave me very vague instructions. Hope my son dosen't see it and ask for 2 for his children!! Hugs Mrs A.
such cuties! thanks for the bread roll, it was delicious :)
ReplyDeleteCor Annie, how well your lovely twinnie Mummy is looking...and that despite all the hard work, blimmin good for her. You seem a tad too busy to be thinking about Christmas fabrics and cards...but then..give a busy woman a job...
ReplyDeleteHi Annie, sorry I'm late but had to pop and see what you have been up to - lovely fabrics, for the dresses and Christmas and the photo of the two wee poppets is lovely. Great to see them doing so well. Elizabeth x #78
ReplyDeleteVery busy life you lead with two small ones, those bread rolls smell wonderful lol
