WOYWW....

Hello to family and friends  :-)

This week I have lots of curtains to shorten, table cloths to make, trousers to shorten, wedding outfits to alter and even a really gorgeous lacy wedding dress to shorten the 4 layers of hems on so there has been no quilt making for me as yet and wont be til I get it all finished.

I have however been playing with gorgeous fabrics, ribbons, lace etc making some ATCs for the 4th year WOYWW celebrations and this is what is on my desk today...

but of course I will have to clear it all off now to get my work done  :-(



I've chosen spring colours this year but I'm not showing you what I'm doing with it all just yet  :-)

.....and just look at that sun shining in through the window!!!

If anyone would like to swap ATCs with me to celebrate the 4 year birthday of our wonderful WOYWW group please email me your name and address [ to wipso@toucansurf.com ] and I will put one ready to post to you on 29th May....if you want to know the details for the celebration ATC swap then please check them out here on Julia's blog.  If you want to join in you only need to make one to pass on but if anyone wants to swap an extra one with me just let me know.

I'm not boring you with pics of all the sewing I have to do today but will say I will be head down doing it all day today and probably tomorrow and Friday too!!!!  If you leave me a little hello comment I will do my best to pay you a return visit in my break times......yes I do allow myself coffee breaks lol.
Hugs,
Annie x

I have to get my thinking cap on and design some ATCs before I commit to making more than the required one, but you will be on my list for sure

Happy Wedding Anniversary Annie - love the look of that sunshine this week :)

I'm unsure if I'll have time to join in the ATC fun - I have over 200 bookmarks to make for our school reunion at the end of May (mad or what!). Sigh. But you'd be top of the list if I do get time.

Hugs and Happy WOYWW, Di xx

I've just had to shorten 4 curtains and they were lined too. I did ok despite the fact I'm no professional sewer. Good luck with all your jobs.

Thanks for stopping by this week.
That’s a pretty combination of colours Annie and I’d love to swap an ATC with you, just so I can see in person what you do with it all. Don’t know if you still have my addy but I’ll email it to you anyway.
Anyway, it sounds like you have a very busy week ahead of you so, I’ll say
Happy Sewing!

I see the word "bored" has been missed out of your dictionary as well!! Have a great, if busy, week.

I don't envy you the alterations. I'd much rather start from scratch I think! Hope you get to play with your own sewing projects soon xx

Hi Annie,

I'd love to swap ATCs with you so will email you soon. Also, glad to see your newer post and see the twins enjoying eachother's company!

I'm going to the photo booth and making copies of some of my photos today so if I'm lucky I'll be getting them in the mail tomorrow. At least that's my goal!

Happy WOYWW
Hugs,
Kay

Pretty colors in that photo, WOW you keep so busy, I'd love to swap ATC's as an extra, if you have time will send email
Running late, but being gone the 2 days wore me out! Drove home in a snow storm, still very cold, strong winds, and snow on the ground here. Unreal.
Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend
