Hello all. I've had another busy week here at Sewing by Annie's but its not been all work :-) It's my birthday tomorrow so there's been a few early birthday treats too...
Saturday we went to Birmingham to see John Bishop at the NIA....he was brilliant [we laughed until our faces ached]. We then stayed the night in a hotel and had breakfast the next morning before we went back home.
Monday night we went to Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury to see Russell Watson [a birthday treat for my big sister]....he was amazing and a good night was had by all.
I have had a few customers needing sewing and in between I have...
....made the 7 cushion pads and put books in each of the front pockets.
I have also been sewing some of the little frogs.
I had a very sad looking little Ted arrive through my door this week. He is 76 years old and was falling apart sadly. I sat chatting to his owner who was a lovely gentleman and had been given Ted for his first Christmas. We discussed what he wanted me to do. He needed a new arm and ear making, two new eyes, a good wash and restuffing. Some of his panels were falling apart and needed replacing too.
Here is Ted after I'd finished with him....he certainly looks better than he did. I couldn't match the fur perfectly and even had to dye what I managed to get with coffee.
That's all from me for today. I hope you will leave me a little message so I know you've called in and I will do my best to pay you a visit ASAP.
Hugs,
Annie x

Hi Annie, well done with the teddy, it always makes me so sad when they are thrown away but this chap should make someone a lot happier for some time yet. Sounds like you've been out and about too, sounds good to me. Happy woyww, Angela x7x
Happy Birthday for tomorrow! Sounds like you’ve been having lots of fun and that’s what another year is all about. Love the book cushions and frogs legs, lol! Well done on helping that gentleman keep his childhood memories xxx
Hugs LLJ 2 xx
Happy birthday for tomorrow, Annie! I hope you have a lovely day. Your celebrations so far sound fun. I love the book cushions and frogs. That poor teddy certainly needed your help and looks much better after your ministrations.
Happy WOYWW

Ah here you are .. you didn't show on my side bar today. Then I realized I hadn't even commented on last week's post! Well done with the book cushions- perfect for a little Xmas gift. x x Jo 🌈
Love your book cushions, such a great gift. I wonder where I can get hold of some Harry Potter fabric! Wishing you a happy birthday. It was my birthday Friday, but an upset tummy spoilt the day slightly. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
Well done with the teddy . I've got mine from when I was 2 , he's threadbare but I kind of like that . Happy birthday! Helen #1
