Hello all. Hope you've all had a good week and enjoyed the Jubilee celebrations....ours hasn't been quite as planned as my darling hubby has sciatica. As I'm typing this he has gone for some acupunture...and I really hope it's helped because he's really suffered since last Friday. I've had it twice so know just how painful it is so I'm hoping it goes very soon for him.
Since last Wednesday I have taken the scissors to the colourful piece you saw on my desk last week and here the results...
I have really enjoyed being creative and have made a batch of ATCs ready for thr crop in October....yes I know it's a long way off yet but I like to be prepared :-)
This is what I made with the Ikea tray and green sticks. The holder I made years ago for my bobbins was too small and just didn't hold them and kept getting tangled up so I needed an upgrade....I'm well chuffed with the results too.
This is the latest School Memory bear I've made....he's now on his way to his new home in Scotland...Another new school for me and Annie's love has spread a little further :-)

On Monday Jo popped round for a coffee and catch up and while she was here she cut my hair for me. The plastic pouch I keep my hair cutting scissors in had perished so when she had gone I took them into my sewing room and with a piece of fabric I had just cut off a dress I ran up a new poppered pouch to keep them in....No pattern, it just came out of my head. I'm easily pleased and this really made me smile.
Good morning Annie, love the fun colors you are sharing with all the projects. I have plastic caps that sit on top of the thread spool and pop in the bobbin so the colors bobbin/thread are always together But I don't do near the sewing you do !!! Thank goodness. Our lady seamstress retired and I truly don't know how people are going to get by. It's a lost art here. Young gals just aren't interested. That's where I miss having my 4 girls able to be with me off and on. Neither DIL's sew/mend etc. Enjoy the week

ReplyDeleteFirstly I went Wow! at the beautiful ATC's you made by cutting up your patchwork - they are gorgeous. And secondly I went Wow! at the fabulous bobbin holder - what a brilliant idea, and one I shall be stealing if you don't mind - my bobbins are a complete mess.
ReplyDeleteHope your hubby is soon feeling better and pain free, sciatica is a nightmare.
Happy WOYWW,

Perfect little scissor pouch! Hope D is feeling a bit better today. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteYour ATC’s are beautiful, is that something people normally do? This will be my first! Sorry to hear you have sciatica, hoping for improvement soon. Happy WOYWW. Angela #15
ReplyDeleteHi Annie, loving the ATCs and hope you will give me some information soon about what usually goes on at the Crop as it's all new to me and so will need to prep. myself in plenty of time. It looks as though ATC swapping is something you usually do? It seems like a long time till October but the way this year is going it will be here before we know it. I'm sure the acupuncture will help, it's very relaxing. Loving the new bear too. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww. Hugs, Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about your husband. I hope the acupuncture works. Another adorable bear and those bobbins are amazing. I love how you color coded them in their new holder. I don't have many bobbins, but I keep my few full.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let everyone know, I am the most unlucky person on WOYWW today. After linking, I was kicked offline due to an electricity outage. When it came back on, I saw my entire city is now required to boil water for the next 24 hours due to a water break. I wanted to quickly explain so everyone didn't think I had forgotten to visit. Storms still raging overhead, so I am copying and pasting this message in case I get caught offline again. Happy WOYWW from # 1.
Ooh poor hubby, he has my sympathy. Give him a hug from me.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy Annie. Can you send me a bucketful of your discipline please heehee

Oh what a great way to store the bobbins Annie. Hope your hubby's sciatica eases soon and the acupuncture helps. Mine went off after about a fortnight fortunately, but my hubby still suffers. Loving the ATCs for the crop - so well prepared. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteWow, I love what you’ve done with the rainbow patchwork, a lovely lot of ATCS! I really like the scissors pouch too, a lovely result for something you probably didn’t realise you needed! Poor old Doddy, sciatica is awful, hope it starts to get better very soon.
