Phew it's hot hot hot. My fans have been working overtime this week and so have I but I'm still smiling.
On Sunday Lexi had another day of dance competitions, this time at Stafford University. She entered into 5 different dances and came away with 4 medals....we are so proud of her. She is loving life. :-)
Phew it's hot this week....well it certainly is when you're busy sewing all day [the fan has been working overtime too this week]. I've had lots of customer's sewing to do including shortening several pairs of trousers, shortening the sleeves on a jacket and shortening a top but in between my jobs I have also found time for more sewing for the charity I support and that's what I have to share with you today...
I've kept myself busy this week with more sewing for the Harry Johnson Charity [ I hope to have more to share with you on Wednesday] when I've not been sewing for my customers and yesterday was a Nanny Annie day...
We had fun in the garden....everything from watching the little bees on the flowers to pinching strawberries ....there are so many ripening at the mo and Louie really loves fruit of all sorts especially strawberries.
So many special memories were made.
The garden is blooming in every corner and it never fails to make me smile.
I'm keeping very busy here at Sewing by Annie's and that keeps me smiling.
Several asked to see the finished bunting....here it is all folded flat to stop it creasing....all 130 flags :-)
It's been another lovely week here at Sewing by Annie's....lots of sewing has kept me smiling plus lots of proud Nanny moments too.
We had a lovely day yesterday with the boys and after school they built a tall tower together to pose for me to take a photo and after we tidied away the toys we had special Nanny times reading poems.....
Theo really loves his poems and can recite all of The Owl and the Pussy Cat so it was a very special time for me with both boys on my knee.
Lexi had another dance competition weekend and did very well.....she really loves her dancing.
She also entered in the Spring Leap online competition and won
Sam is also giving us reasons to be proud....he's been cast as ' The Big Bad Wolf' in the school production of Shrek Jr. He loves all things musical theatre and we are all looking forward to seeing him in his pink nightie when he dresses up as Grandma. :-)
What a week that was!!! I not only cleared all the sewing I shared with you last week but I cleared all that was waiting on my to do rail and had another prom dress to shorten [this time there was 6 layers and one of them was 14 metres long!!] and I had to take it up on a shoulders [and they were heavily beaded so a tricky job!!]. I have also had a bridesmaid's dress that I had to shorten and take in and a pair of trousers that I had to shorten....life here is never boring :-)
I also made this little school Memory bear....this is the second one I've made for the end of this school year. I do expect more orders before the end of term and they will probably arrive at once lol.
Thanks for calling by. If you leave me a little message so I know you've called in I will do my best to pop over to yours to see what you've been up to.
Hugs,

It's Friday so I'm here to share the smiles of the week..We went on a little adventure last Friday to spend a few days away on a campsite near Abergele in North Wales and I have a few photos to share with you....
We always have a chip shop tea one of the nights we are away if we can and we managed to find a Fish bar in Abergele....we had fish and chips and it was lovely.
Milly enjoyed a run on the beach at Colyn Bay.....she loves to chase her ball and wasn't bothered by all the seagulls.
We had a look at the Life Boat station at Llandudno but sadly it was closed.
We enjoyed a lovely walk at Llanfairfechan and enjoyed a coffee at the cafe there....even the toilet seat in the Lady's loo was rather decorative :-)
We enjoyed lunch sitting outside a cafe looking onto Caernarfon castle...it's a lovely castle and as you can see there wasn't a cloud in the sky.....we were very lucky with the weather all weekend.
Mark, Gina and the boys had a week down near Woolacombe Bay and they sent us these lovely pics.
I think Louie looks a natural with the football :-)
I love the photo of my son, Mark [my baby] with his babies.
Of course it wouldn't be Friday without a few funnies and I hope I have found something to make you smile.
Now please leave me a little message so I know you've called by and, if you can, link up at the bottom of the page.
Hugs,

It's been a busy week of posh frocks this week for me here at Sewing by Annie's .....
