WOYWW....

 Hello all.  Here we are at the best day of the week when we link up with our creative friends all around the world.  If you'd like to join in too then click on the link and pop over to Sarah's Craft Shed to find out more details...You'd be made very welcome.

I've had a steady flow of customers this week and in between my sewing jobs I've been working on the special activity quilt.

I've cut out the 9 bright squares and have found some sensory toys to attach to some of the squares...Ive just not decided which yet.

I made a miniature teddy and made a pocket for him to sit in.

I sourced a safe mirror....an A4 sheet that could be cut and stitched through....and made a square with it in the middle.

I cut out lengths of different pink ribbons to make the petals on a flower square....I may stitch a smily face on the front.

That's all from me for today and next week I will be MIA because we are going on holiday ....We just may be catching up with someone you know so I'm sure there will be updates when we get back.

Hugs,

WOYWW....

Wahoooooo it's Wednesday and, for me, it's the best day of the week when I catch up with all my creative blogging friends around the world.  My Mojo has returned from his holiday and I've actually been feeling creative as well as being busier with customers too.

So, on my desks.....yes it's a toofer this week.

This is the table [it's behind where I normally sew] where I use the lap top [I'm typing this now on here], set up my embellisher or one of my other sewing machines when I have a project on the go so I can still use my main machine on my desk.  

Today you can see [from left to right]...

• The pieces now all cut out [apart from the wadding] to make my new bag with
• In the middle are 40 squares all cut out to make a quilted cover for the folder I keep my Memory bear pics in.
• The pile of clothes that I've been cutting up to make my latest order for 4 Memory bears out of.

It was a busy day on Monday as you can see but on my other desk is....

The pile of Memory bears in the making and of course these will have to be made before any bag or quilting gets done.

That's all from my desks for today but I would really like to share something with anyone wanting to read it.  Back in September I made a lap quilt for my cousin who was by then in a care home.  At the time I thought it might be nice for her to have a little hug from me each day.  Little did I know just how special it was to become.  She loved her quilt and proudly showed it off to everyone who saw it and when she was taken seriously ill just before Christmas she had taken it into hospital with her.  Sadly she her condition deteriorated, she lost her fight and passed away on Christmas eve....wrapped in her quilt.  It not only gave her a lot of comfort but to her family around her to know that when they had to go home at the end of visiting time she was still wrapped in my love....it was a blessing.  We attended her funeral last Friday and not only did the quilt get a mention in the eulogy but many folk thanked me for making it for her.  I always feel that the love I put into my sewing benefits many but I really feel very honoured to be able to give comfort to so many at such a sad time.  She was a very special lady who deserved the best.....I'm just glad I could help.

Thanks for popping by to see what I've been up to this week.  If you leave me a little message then I will do my best to pop over to yours to see what you're sharing this week.

Hugs,
