Hello all. Here we are at the last Wednesday catch up before the big day and thankfully my sewing business seems to be winding down nicely to allow me some 'me time'. All the cards are written and posted and we've even wrapped almost all the parcels now so we are well prepared. I've marzipaned and iced the Christmas cake [that much older sister of mine makes us the cake every year :-)....thanks Jo], I've made the mince pies and have even had days when I've had no sewing to do so phew....it's all looking good so far.
I'm sharing with you a pic of the last two bears I've had to make before Christmas and they are now safely with my customer in Hertfortshire....another area of the country conquered :-)
They were made from a much loved Dad's shirt and I really love the result.....what do you think?
This is my 'and finally' for this week.....I know it's a short post from me for a change :-)
I bet you can all relate to this funny....I know I can.
I hope you all have a lovely wind down to the big day and, if you don't join in next week I would like to thank you all for the love shared over the last year and to wish you all a very Happy Christmas.
Hugs,
Annie x

Aw, that shirt fabric is almost perfect for a gentleman bear isn’t it! Glad to read that things are slowing a little...a good time for me to pop all my orders in then?!!!
You remind me about the cake. Made and fed but still hiding in the cupboard...need to get that into my line of vision or the marzipan and icing part will be forgotten!
Fab bears - love the fabric. Computers are a law unto themselves!! xx Jo
Hi Annie, lovely bears! Not made a cake this year, I usually do, but haven't been up to it, so buying one for a change. Love the funny at the end! Hope you have a lovely Christmas, Hugs, Shaz #2 X
Your "and finally" is me right now. We have to get ready and go out but I am putting it off and keep going on the computer which at times is so slow....
Love the two Memory Bears, that check shirt works perfectly.
Thank you for the lovely card you sent which I hope will feature in my post et week - eek Christmas Day!
Must dash, and when I get back must ice that cake.
Hugs, Neet 11 xx

Wow you are so organised Annie, cake & mince pies too. I'm sure the sewing will soon be on the move again in the new year. Beautiful Bears. Wishing you a super Christmas just incase i'm awol next week. Happy WoywW Tracey #5
P.S YES I can relate to that regarding computers.. x
Hi Annie. Great little bears - the colours are gorgeous! And as for the "and finally"... well, not so much laughing out loud as sitting here roaring! Fantastic - and particularly great as I am still running on Windows 7!!
I wish you had let me know you were coming my way last weekend - I'd have put the kettle on!!
Take care. God bless you both. Have a truly beautiful Christmas.

Think those two bears are among my favourites so far. Have a joyful Christmas with your family and every good wish for 2020 from us both. XX
Actually, I think those bears are my favourites, the fabric is lovely! I'm glad you've got a little bit of time to yourself after all the madness recently - enjoy your Christmas with the family!
Hugs LLJ 3 xx
The bears are gorgeous and the computer...... I just hope my one isn't listening because it can be a pain at the best of times!!! Sending big woyww Christmas hugs, Angela x13x
Short but sweet post, love the cartoon. Happy WOYWW and have a great Christmas Angela #21
Those bears are so pretty! The funny made me smile - computers are so like that! Happy WOYWW. Hope you have a lovely Christmas. Caro x (#15)
the bears are fabulous, such pretty colours. Well done on being ahead of the game, I think I am nearly there, just a bit of wrapping to do. Love the "and finally" - very true!! Helen #7
Your bears are just lovely - such an unusual fabric but it's perfect ... You sound very 'together' and 'sorted' - great organisation. Your computer picture and comment made me smile - I am sure mine is developing sentience!
Hi Annie, I'm just popping in to say Merry Christmas if I don't see you next week. Hope have a lovely time with your family and a well-deserved rest! xx zsuzsa #19
Glad that you have had a little more time for yourself recently Annie. love the bears! Have a great Christmas. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #6
Hi Annie Sorry I am late visiting. I'm doing flying visits round desks, as I've been AWOL for so long and wanted to catch up and wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I did manage to make my Christmas cake, and ice it, but no mince pies made! The bears look lovely, the shirt is ideal. Have a lovely week Heather xx #31
Hello Annie. I'm sorry I'm so late. In truth I thought I'd left a comment. Silly me.
Happy Christmas.
Anne X
