What a different week I've had since last Wednesday....did I foolishly mention how quiet I'd been?
I made a set of heart key rings.....and have already sold several key rings.
I've had another bin bag filled with factory trousers needing new zips and thanks to my assistants we have now removed all the old zips, put them back in the bin bag and stashed them away in the spare room to allow space for...
My first Memory bears of 2023....they were made for a 32 year old man in memory of his young wife who died far too soon...the red check was the dress she wore when he proposed to her so holds very special memories for him and I hope they will bring him lots of comfort.....I get to know so many lovely people in my job.
I have also .....
- had a wedding dress fitting and made a start at the complicated work I have to do to make it perfect for her.
- 3 pair of jeans to shorten
- a concealed zip to restitch in a lined skirt
- a lined skirt to shorten and
- a skirt to take in for Phoebe
Saturday afternoon saw me enjoying an afternoon of sewing with Phoebe and Lulu.....they love to learn new techniques and can confidently use any of my sewing machines now. They really loved using the machine embroidery stitches to edge their key rings and were both really proud of their finished items....as was I :-)
So, as you can see it's been a busy busy busy week for me....and it's not stopped yet as I still have all the zips to put in the factory trousers, the major work to do on ther wedding dress and have a steady flow of customers booked in for the rest of my week.....so I may be a tad busy today 😂😂😂😂
I'm sure there will be times when I need a coffee break so will do my best to visit a few blogs then but please be patient with me.
Hugs,

What lovely key rings, both yours and the granddaughters. They are going to have an impressive range of sewing skills. I see you have a hectic week planned! Happy WOYWW. Angela #1
ReplyDeleteYour grandees could no doubt teach me to use my sewing machine, which I have forgotten how to use so keep getting the old Singer out for the odd job.
ReplyDeleteloads of lovely sewing, especially the hearts
Hugs, Net 3 xx
Oh my , busy wizzy, love the creative sewing and that the girls can join in too. So sad about the young lady and the memory bear. Hugs BJ#4
ReplyDeleteHello Annie love the makes and the bears are beautiful - so sad though.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are busy.I've just started to craft again after Christmas- things getting busy again. Anne x 21
Golly, you are super busy! Thank god for ad though, at least you can save your fingers on some of the work, taking out zips is almost as onerous as putting them in by the bagful! Look at your beautiful granddaughters, using your machines with flair, no wonder you’re proud, it’s a fab sight.
