woyww...

Happy 800thWOYWW posts.

Here is the link to my first post in September 2009.  As you can see I had a few machines back then....I've had several more since and moved houses.

It's been a very busy week here at Sewing by Annie's.  I've made 6 Memory bears...




Here's the 5 I can share with you...these are made for a special friend and they are now winging their way to their new homes in Wiltshire ...I love making Memory bears for people I know but am sad that they needed more making.


I've also been very busy making advent calenders....I've now got 10 made [6 different designs] ready to sell and will be putting them on my Sewing by Annie Facebook page soon...shout if you want any.






That's all from me for this week.  If you leave me a message so I know you've called by I will do my best to pop over to yours to see what you're busy with.

Hugs,

Annie x

  1. it's great to see so many "old" faces still joining in from the early days - I'm still on the same floor as 2010 when I started! Happy WOYWW Helen #2

  4. Hope this comment goes through Annie. I do everything on my phone and so far have lost Jans and Lynnes comment. Hoping it'd just moderation on!
    Happy 800th WOYWW, you have been here a long time and seeing all your machines was really interesting as well as your wooden stamps!
    Thanks for sharing, and may God bless you and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.
    Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x

  5. Old Timer, lol!! Only a sister could get away with that *grin*. You’ve share so much over the years, i wonder how much you’ve made, probably tens of thousands of items and all with love. Thanks for being a wonderful WOYWW mate, we try and catch up soon,
    Happy 800, sending hugs,

  6. Wonderful to see your workroom with all its machinery back in the day. Wondering when the Memory Bears first started. Guess it is bittersweet making them as many are for sad occasions but you must focus on the fact that you are helping with memories of loved ones in those cases. Must admit I like to see the "school" ones best myself.

  8. Gorgeous memory bears as ever Annie, and I can recommend your Advent calendars. Your early blog had an impressive range of sewing machines. Happy 800th WOYWW anniversary!

  11. Hi Annie, Happy 800th. I will be forever happy that Julia started WOYWW because, had she not, we would never have met. Alan wouldn't have met both you and Dod too. And that would have been a tragedy!! So many sewing machines, then and now! Makes my collection of two look paltry by comparison :) As usual your bears are gorgeous and love the advent calendars too. Have a wonderful week, my friend. Hugs, Ellie x #17

  13. Your Christmas advents are lovely. Still have one I made for my children when they were small. I put it up every Christmas in memory of my son. Keep up the good work on the bears they must bring such joy to people. Ani
