This week's smiles....week 410

 Hello all.  Hope you've had a good week filled with smiles....mine has but I seem to have taken no photos  :-)....I just must have been enjoying myself too much.  I have been really busy with sewing and that always makes me smile especially as now I'm feeling a lot better and can now enjoy it.




I have taken this pic of the new fabric we have chosen to cover the two new chairs we are having made for our sitting room.
Our old ones are looking tired so I'm really looking forward for the arrival of our new ones...it will be weeks but I'm sure they will be worth the wait.






That's all I have to share with you apart from a few funnies....I hope something here makes you smile and you will leave me a message before linking to you own smiles.

Hugs,

WOYWW....

 Hello all and a very happy Wednesday to you all.  It's been a beautiful sunny week here in Shrewsbury and I'm in my summer tops....life is good..  I've been rather busier than last week but haven't had time for creative fun.

I have...

  • Shortened 2 men's trousers
  • Shortened 2 men's shirts
  • Shortened the sleeves on a man's shirt
  • Shortened the length on 4 men's T shirt/shirts
  • Repaired 2 seams on a white linen top
  • Shortened the sleeves on a lady's blouse
  • Shortened a lined jumpsuit to be worn at a wedding and steamed it


  • and I'm in the middle of shortening the 6 hems on this beautiful prom dress...




I have several more prom dresses, a wedding dress and even some Memory bears coming at some point soon so it looks like I'm going to be kept busy and although my Mojo has gone on holiday I don't think I'm going to have time for creative play so wont be needing her any time soon.

Hugs,

This week's smiles.....week 409

 Here we are at another catch up with our Friday smiles.  It's been a week of slow recovery from the bugs we have had for what seems like weeks.  I think we are getting there...we have stopped running temperatures but the energy levels still need topping up.



We have the boys this weekend so I may have more smiles for next Friday but Theo managed to finish the ferris wheel he had been making using the K'nex.  It was really tricky to make but he persevered and was so chuffed with the finished article.







Our garden continues to make us smile...the flowers keep blooming in every corner.







It wouldn't be a Friday without a few funnies....I hope something here raises a few smiles.  Please leave me a little comment and then link up to your own smiles below.
Hugs,

WOYWW....

 Hello all.  I'm sorry I was out of action last Wednesday with Flu/cold.  Both hubby and I have been really rough on and off for a month or more and last week we were as bad as it had been....coughing lots and running really high temps.  We tested negating for Covid but it felt pretty much the same.  It's been an awful bug and I'm hoping it's on it's way out now.  There have been so many folk around here suffering the same and it leaves you good for nothing so we had to listen to our bodies and sleep it off.  If you read my Friday post you will also see I had a health scare too but thankfully the results came back normal and no further appointments/tests were needed....phew!!





On my desk today are the latest army of frogs, now finished and handed over to the Harry Johnson Charity, to give out the the children newly diagnosed with cancer....I've now made 58 and it makes me rather sad to think that there are so many children needing them but it's good to do my bit.




The only other thing I have to share with you this week are these little mice I've been making....they have been something nice to do a little of...when I've been awake lol.







That's all from me for today....hopefully I will have more to share by next week.
Hugs,
