Hello all. Happy Wednesday to you. Slowly but surely I am, thankfully, feeling rather better each day and life here at Sewing by Annie's remains as hectic as ever.
Monday was spent having fun with that 'much older sister' of mine, Jo. We spent the day dumfing [check side bar for link if you still don't know what this is], doing machine and hand embroidery, sewing on beads, drinking coffee, eating yet more chocolate and generally having fun and these are the results I have to share with you.....
These are the four little dumfed pictures of my crab apple blossom that I have now finished. They are big enough to be framed or mounted up in some way and Jo and I plan to open up a new shelf in the blog shop soon to house these to sell so if you are interested then keep a look out. I'm sure you will find Jo's works of art over on her blog today too.
These are the latest ATCs I've received this week.

Thanks girls, they are so special.
Now I know some of you like to see a little of what's going on out in our garden so this collage is just for you....just wish it was smelly vision cos the roses are a real old fashioned variety and they smell divine. I often notice my customers having a sniff at them as they walk past.
On that note I will love you and leave you cos I have lots of catching up to do on my 'to do' rail after having had a fun day with the munchkins yesterday.....and they certainly keep me on my toes now they are both reaching new heights and well on the move.....see prev post for the proof :-)
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Annie x

Hi Annie, good to see you're feeling better. More gorgeous dumpfings - and I can almost smell those roses from here.
Happy WOYWW! Di xx
Love the machine embroidery pieces!! Great roses as well.
Ive just had a look at Jo's page you are both doing some beautiful work and I really like the effects of the dumfing. I'm going to explore it more.
Have a good week, hope you are ok.

Yes me too - sure I can smell the roses from here!! x Jo
Lovely pics today, Annie! I've got a thing about old fashioned roses too and they're just starting to bloom now. Everything was blatted by the high winds but is recovering ok, except my 5' high foxgloves, they're a gonner, I'm afraid.... ah well, see em next year I suppose :)

beautiful dumfing pictures. I love the blog header of the crab apple blossoms and those roses and flowers are awesome. Have a great week. Vickie #23
Love your apricot roses, my bush is bent almost double with the weight of all the rain we had.
Lovely dumflings, must have a go at these someday - they are on the (ever growing)list. They will sell like hot cakes when you put them on your shop.

This is so funny, as I rolled up I found myself actually sniffing as I saw the roses. I can imagine how delightful they must smell - thanks for the beautiful pictures.
Now those dumfing pictures - oh how fabulous they are! I love the blog header and now you have replicated it so well. You are so talented.
Glad you are beginning to feel better, take care and get fully well soon.

Thank you for your birthday greetings... I've had such a good week and it aint over yet!

More gorgeous Dumflings and my husband would love your roses, they are his favourite. Those twins are just adorable in the previous post and quite the handful now I should think :o)
What a beautiful colour Rose Annie. My Glenfididch that I put in after losing dad is just flowering but a pesky little squirrel seems to have taken a liking to the taste of the flower buds……and my Acer for that matter.
Loving the latest dumfings. Although I love the pastel colours you’ve worked with in the past, there’s something that attracts me to these darker shades. I guess it’s because the darker backgrounds make the flowers pop out.
Happy Crafting!

REally pleased you are getting better! The atc's are just gorgeous and your dumfed blossom is too - your blog always looks so cheerful opening up! Have a good week, Helen. 33
Those are gorgeous dumfs of the crabapple blossom. And the picture of hubby and the little ones is perfect. xx#9
I walk past a couple of gardens that are just full of roses on my way to school. I so wish I had one of those fancy cameras phones to catch their colours as they are just beautiful. I can imagine the smell of yours because the scent of theirs lingers long after I've walked past.
The dumfing is as always just gorgeous, amazes me how you get them so true to life!
Gorgeous roses, they really are my favourite flowers, love the smell, bet your garden is heavenly

I'm glad your feeling so much better, Annie, you certainly sound as though you need to be on your toes with those beautiful twins of yours, they are just adorable.
Those dumfed pictures are amazing, I recognised them straight away as the blossom in your blog header.
Gorgeous flowers too, thanks for sharing. The gardens are looking perfect in this lovely sunshine aren't they?
Happy WOYWW

Hi Annie! Enjoyed my browse tonight. Catching up a wee bit. Enjoyed the pics of the babies on the move...oh my they get so busy. My grands just left after a 3 day visit. this Granny had to go take a little nap after that LOL! Loved to peek at all your wonderful ATC's too! So fun!!!
Oh my poor roses are looking bedraggled and bruised from the wind this weekend, and for some reason their colour is SO good this year! Glad to read you 're feeling a little better, my word it really is a long haul, huh.
