Oh what a week's it's been here at Sewing by Annie's. I posted last Wednesday with the honest intention to visit all my favourite blogs and leave comments but that wen't out the window when Theo walked into a picket fence on his way to school [he was fine but had to be monitored at home for the day] so came here so that Gina could rest and we could play with Theo.....That's when my plate spinning started and it really didn't stop all week. I played catch up with my sewing and sadly my blogging had to wait. My intentions are good again this week so let's hope I can actually get round a few blogs to see what you've all been up to.
I managed to
- finish the little Memory dog I was making.
- Repaired a jacket.
- Steamed the wedding dress and two little flower girl dresses.
- Shortened the two nurses dresses and....
.....made the six Memory bears. Thesee were made in memory of a much loved Grandma and each family member had chosen their favourite item of clothing to have them made out of.....so special.
For those tthat like to know that has brought my number of Memory bears up to 545....that's a lot of Annie's love around the world isn't it?
There are perks to my job...on Friday I had a Slovakian body builder here for fittings on the shirt and waistcoat he wants to wear to his Wedding....because of his body building his shoulders and arms were very muscular [not that I was looking of course] so his shirt and waistcoat needed taking in at his waste. He stripped to the waist in my sewing room and smelt amazing....now now Jan!! My darling hubby was here for my protection but it did finish my week off with a high :-)
Hugs,
Annie x

What, no pics of the body builder, lol!! I am glad Theo wasn't too badly injured and hope is ok now. Take care and happy WOYWW Helen #1
I’d have been very restrained and not mentioned baby oil at all, so there!! *grin*. There’s a few perks with your job but that must have been one of the highlights, lol. Tough job but you were woman enough for it no doubt Great memory bears, I like the stripey one best. Hope Theo is all mended now, I had boys like that who could injure themselves on fresh air…sigh… :-D

No picture of the body builder??!! Sounds like you had a very mixed week - I love the little dog, he's so precious and the bears are lovely.
Hope you have a great week,

You totally cracked me up re the groom - down Annie!
Sorry to hear about the little one, hope time with Nana helped a lot, am sure it did. (and the hold up was worth it I bet)
Hugs, Neet 7 xx
Oh I’m sorry Annie I can’t respond properly because I’m laughing my head off at the thought of you and the body builder. That’s the best laugh I’ve had in ages.
I’ve not gathered myself yet but will just say in reply to your lovely comment on my post, yes I wish I lived closer. I’m sure we would all have a high old time xxx
Love the little dog and bears and your description of the body builder made me smile. I hope Theo is OK - Alex is pretty accident prone so I can sympathise! Happy WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. With love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#17)
I'm laughing out loud reading the bit about the groom Annie 😁😄😅 Hope Theo is doing okay after his accident the other day 🤗 You've had a busy week ... such comfort you bring with your memory bears 💛💛💛 you're a special soul. Sending love and hugs your way Tracy #21 xxxx
Can you give me a call next time you have tricky groom outfits to alter please!! Lovely to catch up today and peruse your latest stock intake. xxx Jo
He sounds rather pleasing to the eye Annie! Loving your little dog and the bear with stripes is brilliant. Wishing you a very happy woyww and sending hugs, Angela x15x
Oh poor Theo, he looks a bit bashed and scraped! Such a relief that you’re on hand for all of these things, but particularly now that Gina is resting. Grandparents are life’s gems, I tell ya! Is the bodybuilder to wear traditional costume for his wedding? a an that be a legitimate excuse to get a photo when he comes back? Not that I’m over keen or anything!!!
Love the memory dog and memory bears. You are so talented. Happy WOYWW! #23
Wow that memory dog is gorgeous - the colours are so zingy!! Had to laugh about the bodybuilder - well, doesn't hurt to look does it? (Shhhh don't tell hubby but our decorator is rather easy on the eye as well........)
Have a good week, love n hugs Cindy #20
I was sure I'd been! anyway I know I've seen that lovely bunny!B It's lovely So this is a VERY late last week woyww!? ((LYN))

Happy WOYWW! Susan #13
