This week's smiles....week 470

 Happy Friday to one and all.  Here we are at the catch up of smiles from the week and, as always, there's been a few.

Big brother duties are settling down nicely.....here is Theo reading a bedtime story to Louie.  I have a video of it all and Louie does seem to be listening closely to his big brother and Theo's reading is amazing now.

I really dont like having my photo taken but these two made me so aware of the difference in the last 5 years and now more than 3 stone down.....yes I'm smiling.....lots!!!

The first photo is when Theo was little and the one on the right was taken this week with Louie.

Finally I have 3 collages of funnies for you this week....hope you enjoy them.

WOYWW.......

Good morning and a very happy Wednesday to you all.  You are saved from a lot of reading here today because life is, as always, pretty hectic.  My 'to do' rail is heaving and I have two little apprentices here this morning to help but with Phoebe being 3 years and Louise only 20 months I'm not allowed to get them working on the machines as yet  :-) .....it's a couple of hours of Nanny Annie time for me with lots of fun and giggles so I'm doing a quick 'show and tell' in pictures for you.

This is my, now finished, Ark that Jo from Jozart bought for me to make for one of the twins.  Thanks again Jo....I've loved putting this together and the little ones will have such fun with it [and their mummy].  It's now filled with all the little animals too.

Here are the first set of ABC bag contents all stitched, snipped, turned, stuffed and gaps sewn up.  :-)

This is the first 12 Christmas cards I've made with a close up of one of them for you.

Here is the next 12.  Another set made using a scanned x-stitch done by one of my daughter's many years ago.A bit of machine embroidery and a layering up of fabrics and ta da!

And a close up of one of them for you.

There you go.  Hope you enjoyed the quick peep at my desks today.  My 'to do' rail is calling.....I must do some of it before my little Granddaughters arrive so I will try to pop round to do my WOYWW visits later.  Have a great week and stay creative.

Hugs,
