Here we are at another Friday's catch up of the smiles from the week.....and there's been lots thankfully. A lot of then I am unable to share the photos with you because they are school photos and are not allowed to be put on but trust me when I say lots of memories have been made....
We went to watch Theo's first Christmas play
We went to watch Stephen's final Christmas play at his junior school
We have seen videos of Lulu singing in her school choir...sadly the Christmas carols in the church had to be cancelled.
We have watched the videos of Lexi dancing
I can share a few of the photos we took in Sunday when some of our family came to ours to exchange gifts and to decorate our Christmas tree...
I love it when we can have family times.
Shell sent me this gorgeous photo of their two dogs snuggled up together...Reggie has grown so much now.
Of course we can't have a Friday without a few chuckles....
There's rather a lot this week but I decided we could never have too many smiles to have collaged them all for you. [Some are a bit cheeky so I hope none offend].
I hope all your Christmas preparations are going well and you're all keeping warm and cosy.
I'm being kept pretty busy with my sewing and am now feeling better after suffering reactions after having my latest Covid booster....I've heard of many folk reacting following the latest Moderna vaccine so I know I'm not alone so I just hope it now protects us over the Winter.
Saturday, while we were in Shrewsbury we walked up to St Mary's church where there was Steam Punk Spectactular event and wow it really was.....I must admit I thought of you Angela while we walked around looking at all the amazing outfits. Here's a collage of some of who we saw...
There really were some stunning outfits and lots of really lovely people....I really hope you have enjoyed seeing a few of the ones I saw.
Shell sent me this photo and it really made me giggle. They have bought a new book about puppy training but they have to train Reggie to read it first :-)
I love this photo of how much Daphne puppy has grown now and how well she is fitting into the family...she's such a beautiful dog.
Of course it wouldn't be Friday without a few funnies. I hope you've seen something to make you smile and will leave me a little comment before you link up to your smiles at the bottom.
Have a great week all. It's my birthday on Sunday so I'm guessing I will have fun.
Hello all and happy Friday to one and all. It's been a manic sort of week here at Sewing by Annie's. I managed to make 10 more Advent calendars and have already sold 6 of them and on top of that I have had a steady flow of trousers/jeans to shorten, a bridesmaid's dress to shorten and alter and I've made 3 more Memory bears and a little pin cushion with the left over fabrics...I've really enjoyed my week.
Our latest addition to the family, little Reggie, has now had his jabs so is now able to go out for his first walkies. He watches Jet very closely and is learning very quickly....such a lovely little puppy.
Our garden flowers are still giving us lots to smile about so I snapped all I could find because if we get some frost they wont last much longer.
The only funny I could find this week was this one ...it made me smile.
I hope you have all had lots to smile about this week and will share your smiles by linking them at the bottom of the page.
It's been one of those weeks where I have struggled to find you something to smile about.
I did share some lovely photos on Wednesday of a fun afternoon I had with Phoebe and Lulu and I have to admit that although I was suffering toothache it was a very special afternoon and there was lots of chatting and giggling.
Friday and Saturday nights I was up and down with toothache..... Paracetamol and Nurofen just wouldn't touch it so Sunday found me taking a trip to an emergency dentist who thought I had an abscess developing, gave me antibiotics and instructed me to visit my own dentist ASAP.
Monday I managed to get an appointment at my own dentists where I spent 45 mins in the chair having a tooth drilled out and filled and then he lanced the abscess!!! It was so painful. He also gave me more antibiotics which I have been taking all week.
I then had to go back to see my dentist yesterday and guess what?....The tooth is no more. It was still rather unstable so had to be pulled....ouch!!
Although my face was swollen all week and I was still suffering from aches plus the effects of antibiotics and analgesia I had lots of sewing to get on top of....including replacement of 36 zips!! Running your own business means you have to do your best to keep the work done regardless of how your feeling. I have also been cooking/baking ready for the up and coming WOYWW crop on Saturday....now that is something to smile about.
The only pics I have to share with you this week are....
....meet Reggie my latest addition to the extended family. He's the twins little dalmation puppy, a little brother for Jet. He's such a cutie and Jet is really loving having him around.
Of course it wouldn't be Friday without a few funnies...I found these doggy confesions and they made me chuckle.
Sorry I dont have more to smile about but hopefully my face will improve now and by next Friday I will have more to smiles.
