WOYWW....

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 kitchen is smelling wonderful cos these have just come out of the oven....Parmesan and sun dried tomato rolls today....please help yourselves to one for lunch.



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].

Sylvia/LittleTreasures said...

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.
I 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.

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!

Helen said...

My, how they're growing... what a fab post today and those rolls look gorgeous... thank you!!
Happy WOYWW, Helen 12

Lunch Lady Jan said...

Lovely post all finished off with that super photo of M and the twins. Wow, they all look great :D
Like 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

Twiglet said...

Neet said...

Hard to believe the twins have grown so much - a very big AAAW moment.
Love 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

Angie said...

Where to start...you are so busy and productive. I LOVE the ark and animals below ...how perfect is that.
Love 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

Neil said...

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

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!
Loving 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!

Wonderful 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

Hettie said...

Nice to see Noah's Ark is coming on lovely. And thanks for the roll - I am starving today for some reason!!
Nice 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!

Anonymous said...

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.

Mrs A. said...

Hi Annie,
Haven'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.

Sarah Anderson said...
