WOYWW...

 Hi all.  Firstly I have decided to share with you the difficult time I have been going through. Back on 22nd Febuary I noticed a problem that needed checking out with my Dr.  I saw her the next day and she said I would get an appointment within 2 weeks at the hospital.  I was sent an appointment for 13th March but on that morning I tested positive for Covid!! My next appointment was for March 25 so I was to attend the clinic [alone because of Covid] and spent over 2 hours being checked out....not an experience I hope to need again because I did not know what the outcome would be but thankfully I can now share that all is well and there is nothing to worry about.

I thought you'd like to see the fashions I had to wear while there...it was a cape that fastened down the front with velcro that left nothing to the imagination if you lifted your arm for anything lol

I was greeted by a lovely lady who quickly realised I had altered her Wedding dress 18 years ago....small world eh?

I have been playing catch up all week with work and since I was here last week I have....

• Shortened 2 bridesmaids dresses
• shortened an evening dress
• lifted a velvet dress on the shoulders
• shortened the sleeves on a waterproof coat
• put a new zip in a gents pair of trousers
• replaced the zips in another bag full of factory trousers and

Made 10 Memory bears from a much loved Dad and Grandad's shirts.

They are made using 9 gents shirts and each one had to be different :-)

My motto is...

The impossible I do at once, miracles take a little longer :-)

It's always the way that when I'm at my busiest my family need sewing doing too and I have also shortened 2 pair of trousers for Brent [son-in-law] and altered one of Lexi's dance dresses.

Also on Saturday morning Theo, who had proudly been allowed the school bear to bring home and look after for the weekend, sent me a message to let me know and to say he really didn't like Bob the bear being naked so, if he brought me one of his old school uniforms could I make one for Bob while Theo was at gymnastics....about 2 hours!!!

Of course Nanny Annie never likes to disappoint so I set to and made him his own uniform....and Theo's smiles when he saw it was why I do these things.

Bob went back to school Monday wearing his new uniform and Theo's teacher said I should win the award for the best Nanny :-) :-)

It was a working weekend for me but I have had a few helpers...

My darling hubby took all the old zips out of the factory trousers ready for me to put the new ones in and, when Amy and the girls came to visit on Sunday, I had just 3 Memory bears left needing stuffing so they each stuffed one for me while they were here...I just love my family.

As you can see, it's been a stress filled few weeks but I can now put all that behind me and have been able to get on top of my work load.

Thanks for calling by.  I will do my best to pay you a visit ASAP but have another wedding dress fitting this morning and a lady coming to have some memory cushion covers made....plus we have Louie here today and tomorrow to look after :-)  Happy days :-)

Hugs,

Annie x
