WOYWW....

 Well.  It came and it went lol.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have managed some relaxation....we have, plus I have spent some time sorting the boxes of fabrics in my sewing room.  I've been really firm and have thrown out tiny scraps that I'm never likely to use...and there were lots of them!!

Whilst sorting I found lots that I had forgotten I'd got including a lovely piece of turqouise fabric and I knew just the job for it.....

The one chair in my sewing room looked worn and tired so my darling hubby and I set to and recovered it.  I really love the finished result and even more so I love the fact that we had a couple of hours working together on a successful project.

That just leaves me to wish you all a Very Happy New Year and here's hoping it brings with it good health and happiness for us all....it looks like one of my bears has started celebrating already.

WOYWW.....

 Hello all.  Here we are at the last post before Christmas Day, tomorrow.  If you're not ready now then don't worry about it.  

I've had no sewing to do this week but I have played a support act for these....

My darling hubby played the part of  Santa at the school our daughter Michelle teaches at.  He was supported by our grandson,Sam and his friend Aled who dressed as elves and our granddaughter Lexi who stepped in as photographer for anyone wanting photos.  I greeted each family who came and took in the money :-)

We made a great team :-)....and a lovely time was had by all.

That just leave me to wish each and every one of you a very Happy Christmas and a Wonderful 2026

Hugs,

 Here we are at my last working week before Christmas and I've made another gorgeous Memory bear [and I have to say it's one of my favourites].  This is number 981 so only another 19 and I will reach my 1000.😄😄😄

It's such a pretty bear and is made from tiny,  first sized babygros...so really happy memories which is a lovely way to finish before Christmas.

I have so many really lovely customers and one of them brought me these gorgeous flowers on Monday and I felt I should share them with you.

We went to a craft fair at our local Hospice on Sunday....it's one we often go to for a coffee and do our best to support them.  I bought some raffle tickets and was lucky enough to win this gorgeous hamper....I feel so lucky.

Whilst we were at the craft fair we saw some little Christmas trees made from drift wood.  I have had a bag full of drift wood for years and just knew that one day I would find something to make with it.

Yesterday my darling hubby and I worked together for a couple of hours to make this little tree and it's made a lovely place for my Christmas mice to hang.

I plan to do some sorting/cleaning in my sewing room over the Christmas break....but who knows if it will happen :-)

Hello all.  The weeks seem to be flying by.  I'm being kept busy with sewing and am managing some sewing for pleasure in between jobs.

 

This is the latest bear I've made...he's made from the 4 favourite jumpers worn by a much loved Great Grandad [two on the front and 2 on the back] and he brings my numbers up to 980...and I have more on their way :-)

I've been making little mice and have now completed these 7....each one has a little hanger so they can go on a Christmas tree.

I saw some tree decorations made from an old wooden cotton reel and thought I'd have a go.  I rather like how this one has turned out...what do you think?

That's all from me for today.  I will do my best to pop over to yours when I can and will just leave you with this.

Hugs,

If only :-)

WOYWW...

 Hello all.  Here we are at my favourite day of the week again.  I love seeing how everyone is keeping busy in the lead up to Christmas.

I've been making more tags for the charity I support...I loved this set because they are sparkly and simply made.

These are Christmas tags....probably for next year now.

I'm still making special Memory bears...this one is to be used as a mascot for a charity and has used their old badges and the newly designed badge.

When I get time I have to update my bear folder but I do know I've made over 970 now :-) :-)

That's all from me for this week so if you leave me a little message I will do my best to pop over to yours to see what you've been up to.

Hugs,
