WOYWW 4th Birthday....


Happy 4th Birthday celebrations to all my wonderful blogging friends who call by here each Wednesday to catch up on the madness that goes on here at Sewing by Annie's.  What an amazing group it has now become all thanks to Julia's brain wave of 4 years ago.  So many friendships have been made on line and many have met in real life too....the world really is a smaller place.

I have already posted out most of my ATCs to those wanting to swap with me so most of you will be able to open them today but for those that haven't had them yet they are on their way  :-)

Just a quick post from me today with a couple of collages....



Two little peg dolls I made with Phoebe and Louise while babysitting on Saturday...they enjoyed making them and playing with them in their dolls house after  :-)


This collage I am labelling...

 'All in a days work!'

....and that was only half of what I did yesterday on my 'day off' so that I would be free to call in on as many desks as I can today.  :-)....not that I imagine for one minute that my customers will stay away long enough for me to sit with my feet up for long.


So, that's all I am sharing with you today.  I am now going to make a cuppa, pull up my chair and enjoy opening the ATC envelopes I have already then do my best to call by on as many WOYWW friends as I can today.  Hope you all have a great day and here's to many more linked Wednesdays ahead of us.

'Cheers!'

    Hi Annie, I'm linking in through Julia's comments page. You have been enormously busy as usual.

    Oh Annie - confession time. If you get an envie with postage to be paid it is me. Please let me know and I will send the extra money. Just realised this morning yours was extra thick but in my rush to get them in the post DH just popped them in a postbox for me. So sorry if this happens. Do tell me.
    So special to share the birthday with you as we have met and I was so chuffed for the effort you put in to do so.

    WOW looks like you are busy as usual! I am impressed over the renovation of the clothing items you do. I never think to turn collars or cuffs when worn. I cut them off or trash it. Happy 4th Anniversary WOYWW! Have a great week. Vickie #16

    THANKYOU for the gorgeous ATC..I did save it and it nearly killed me to do so! I won't bother correcting your link - you did a great job of that yourself and saves me a couple mins on this busy day! I don't wish your customers stay away, instead, have the WOYWW prize for the most achieved in a day!!

    Happy Anniversary and thank you for the early visit. It's strange, I feel I know you even though we've never met, but that's the beauty of WOYWW. Your desk is always an inspiration, even though I'm not a fabric artist.

    Have a lovely WOYWW,

    Organized as ever Annie, having sent out all your ATC’s. Admittedly most of mine are ready to go in the post but I still have one or two to make.
    It’s amazing that the internet can bring together so many likeminded people and I’m grateful that WOYWW has also brought along so many new friends, thanks to Julia.
    Enjoy your Wednesday snoop on this very special Day
    Happy Crafting!
