WOYWW...

 I've had a busy week one way or another. I always write my WOYWW post on a Tuesday and at this moment in time Gina is progressing well in labour...eventually! She was admitted to hospital on Sunday with a high blood pressure which was thankfully lowered/controlled with meds for her to go into labour.  I promise to Update if there's any more news so watch this space....

I’m thrilled to say that Louie Oliver arrived safely  at 7.37 last night weighing 7lb 15oz......more to follow on Friday πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°


I've had another busy week with bridesmaid's dresses, prom dresses etc etc but have also made this...




It's a snuggle cushion with a pocket on the one side that I have put reading and activity books in for Theo....my idea is that he can snuggle up with Gina when she feeds the baby.


The other thing I have to share with you is my gorgeous box of sewing threads that came with my new industrial machine....I'm guessing it's like a new box of pens to most of you....I'm excited and will probably admire them for a while before I use any lol
I actually needed a pale turquoise green thread for a job on a skirt and there wasn't the right colour thread in this box.....or my drawer full of threads!!!




That's all from me for today my friends.  To be honest I've spent the last few days running on adrenaline with very little sleep and yesterday was spent looking after 4 of our 6 grandchildren....it's what a day off is meant for isn't it?  :-) :-)
I hope to catch up with as many of you that I can....but it may take me a while to get there.
Hugs,
Annie x

Oh my word, such fab news, welcome to Louie and delighted that it’s all over for Gina. It’s the sort of anxiety that you don’t really acknowledge till it’s over and then you realise quite how exhausting and worrying it’s been; thank God they’ve got you both, but now please, rest a bit! The twin bears arrived yesterday Annie, thank you so much, they’re lovely. Managed not to cry this time, parcelled one up straight away, it’s destined for the US. The other is going to Bognor, maybe not so glamorous but still, a seaside memory bear!

Wow, Gina did so well getting that baby grown to just under 8lbs, well done that girl. Lovely news about the safe arrival of Louie, you can rest a little bit now Annie, you’ve been a brick for them all. Love the box of threads, all those colours but it did make me laugh that you couldn’t find that one colour…typical, you’ll just have to buy some more, lol!!

Congratulations on the arrival of little Louie Oliver, you must be thrilled after all the worry you've had. I think the snuggle cushion is a wonderful idea for Theo, I expect he'll have hours of enjoyment reading the books and snuggling up with the new arrival. Love your tray of coloured threads - they are very appealing.
Hope you have a lovely week,
