Good
morning and a very happy Wednesday to you all. You are saved from a lot
of reading here today because life is, as always, pretty hectic. My 'to
do' rail is heaving and I have two little apprentices here this morning
to help but with Phoebe being 3 years and Louise only 20 months I'm not
allowed to get them working on the machines as yet :-) .....it's a
couple of hours of Nanny Annie time for me with lots of fun and giggles
so I'm doing a quick 'show and tell' in pictures for you.
This is my, now finished, Ark that Jo from Jozart bought for me to make for one of the twins. Thanks again Jo....I've loved putting this together and the little ones will have such fun with it [and their mummy]. It's now filled with all the little animals too.
Here are the first set of ABC bag contents all stitched, snipped, turned, stuffed and gaps sewn up. :-)
This is the first 12 Christmas cards I've made with a close up of one of them for you.
Here is the next 12. Another set made using a scanned x-stitch done by one of my daughter's many years ago.A bit of machine embroidery and a layering up of fabrics and ta da!
And a close up of one of them for you.
There you go. Hope you enjoyed the quick peep at my desks today. My 'to do' rail is calling.....I must do some of it before my little Granddaughters arrive so I will try to pop round to do my WOYWW visits later. Have a great week and stay creative.
Hugs,
Annie x

Have a fab day - give them hugs from me. x Jo
Have the most wonderful day with your lovelies!!
I am very impressed with the neatness of your work with the little ABC items. Goodness, but you must have had to be careful with all the snipping of curved seams and turning. That's the bit I hate doing with my padded hearts - and they're big compared to the size of yours! You must be very patient!!
Hugs, LLJ#39 xx

Such gorgeous creations and you have made cards as well. Love the pics of your beautiful grandchildren.
You fit all that in, and babysitting too. It makes you Supergran
I love the Christmas card design Annie, especially the beautiful lace you’ve used. And what a great idea to photocopy the cross stitched panel, I would never have thought to do that……..mind you, I have to say……….I’m a little disappointed.
There was me sitting here thinking that you had stitched all those little Robins yourself Annie, Lol!
Hope you’re having a fun day with your family.
Happy Crafting!

The ark looks wonderful. Pat on the back to you. The cards are sweet and even sweeter that you have incorporated something that your children made when smaller.
Have frun with your two little poppets. Hugs Mrs A.
