Happy Anniversary to you all and a huge thankyou to our Queen of the blogs, Julia for keeping up the group for so long....we have so much to thank you for.
We went on an adventure to South Wales last weekend to deliver our Anniversary ATCs to Jan [of course that wasn't the only reason]. It had been far too long since we had seen her, her gorgeous hubby and youngest son Rhys so, as you can imagine, there was much to catch up on and there certainly were no awkward silences....thanks Jan for making us feel so welcome [including little Milly who is still recovering :-) ].
Being away for a long weekend means I worked yesterday to play catchup with all my sewing jobs and this is the latest very special little bear I have made....it's made from a Grandad's white t shirt and a Grandma's blue stripey blouse [or what was left of it as it had been loved to death and was very frayed].
Well, that's all from me for this week. Sending out lots of love to all our group and hoping we can keep it going many more years.
Hugs,
Annie x
I am glad you had such a good time with Jan and her family, the weather was certainly kind to you. I have received your gorgeous atc (and card with poem) thank you. Here's to many more weeks of WOYWW Helen #5

ReplyDeleteOh my! That little bear is so special. Glad I got to comment on it (breaking the habit of a lifetime and signing in to google to comment for this special week!) but know I glimpse your blog most every week. I have really been loving the bears but this one is just too too special!

Happy 14th WOYWW!! Well, it’s rather wonderful that you’re my swap buddy today after such a lovely weekend! ATCs already received and we both saved a stamp, lol!! It was a lovely couple of days, we all enjoyed seeing you both and Milly of course!
ReplyDeleteSweet little bear, epically hearing the story behind the fabrics, you did a good job saving that precious blue material.

ReplyDeleteLovely lovely pics of you and Alan together, bet you had a fab time, sunshine and laughter. Doesn’t take much, but it’s priceless. Thank you for your gorgeous ATC and the poem..you’re both so clever, and very cherished by all of us Deskers, don’t forget that. Love what you did to incorporate some of the grandmas t shirt. On a day that’s actually been making me gulp a bit, this was the last straw! 🥹😘
ReplyDeleteHi Annie, many thanks for my beautiful ATC and card. I’m so glad you had a good time with Jan & co; the photos are lovely. Your memory bear is so good, especially as you managed to make it from some well worn and loved fabric.

So glad you and Jan had a great visit. I saw on Jan's blog how you took over the Han cave (grin). I love that heart you created at the top. Just wonderful. And a cute bear, too. Happy Anniversary from # 3.
ReplyDeleteGosh. You would think that one hand typing I could hit all the right letters. That is JAN, because I don't know a HAN.
ReplyDeleteHappy 14th Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteWhat better way to celebrate than with a pre dinner aperitif - in the form of time spent with LLJ.
