WOYWW...

 Hello all and happy Wednesday.  It's been a beautiful sunny week here this week but I've not had so many customers so have been able to enjoy some garden time.

On my desk today is two lined skirts needing shortening and a gents jacket that needs a seam repairing so nothing exciting to share with you really.

The one thing I will share is the gorgeous pair of Memory bears I made to go in the Memory boxes of two little boys when they go to their forever homes...




...the clothes used were special outfits bought for them by their Foster mum so they are two very special little bears.

I'm so lucky to share these special moments in the lives of so many people.




That's all from me for today.  I have lots more work coming in this week so hopefully by next week I will have more to share with you.  I really hope the sun shines for you too and you all have a creative week.

Hugs,

Annie x

Is it me or is Theo very tall?!! What a lovely pic of him snoozing in the car. And congrats for your anniversary too. Isn’t it lovely to get out a little bit, and to be able to see people, I expect you’ll be swamped when the total lockdown lift occurs, lots of people have had a lot of time to sort stuff!

Beautiful bears and such a lovely thought from the little people’s foster Mum. We’ve had our second jabs now so hopefully going out again will soon be a reality. 💕

I had a meet up in the garden with three friends last Saturday, there was much gin involved, so good to see friends properly again. Lovely pic of Theo, goodness he’s grown! Fab bears again with a lovely story behind the making xxx. So good to catch up on Monday!

Oh what a lovely story about the little memory bears, they will be treasured forever! hubby has been told, no more bear, wine, no more anything, ever! so he's still his normal um self. But he does miss the pub. Our brother in laws owns a few so it's hard to say no! Children are at their loviest when asleep! Stay safe! Keep crafting! Happy WOYWW!?((Lyn))#8.

Those are the kind of Memory Bears I like to see on your pages - the ones with happy endings.
Well done Annie.

The bears are lovely and will be much loved I'm sure. I do hope the boys find there new family a happy ever after. When I was teaching the cook at the school adopted five children all from the same family and I know the process they went through was extensive before it happened so I'm sure the boys will be much loved. Have a lovely creative woyww and a very happy week, Angela x14x

You do a wonderful thing making the bears, My friend made me two cushions from my late hubby's dressing gown and an elephant from his shirt so know how much these things mean, Thank you for making them,

Take care and stay safe.

Annie, that is great that you have been able to enjoy outside time! From everyone's pictures over across the pond, it is looking gorgeous over there! Love the memory bears. Each story is so unique and heart-touching Annie and I know you feel blessed to be able to be a part of their story! Blessings, Felicia #27

Always lovely to hear the stories behind the memory bears. Hope you get time in your busy week to create in between repairs.

Your latest memory bears are gorgeous, Annie, and what a special commission too. It's so nice to be doing them for other occasions than when someone has died, which must make quite a few of them rather sad to make. It sounds as if you are very busy with your sewing - I am glad the orders are still coming in.

Happy belated WOYWW,
