WOYWW....

Hello to all calling by for a catch up this week.  It's been another manic week here at Sewing by Annie's.  I have the twins here today for their third play day with Nanny Annie this week so will be catching up with you all either later tonight or tomorrow in between catching up with my sewing jobs.

I must thank you all for your love, care and concern for little Lulu and her sore finger last week and just quickly let you know that she went back to the hospital yesterday to have her dressings changed.  The Drs are really pleased with how it's healing.  It's still very swollen, as you would expect, but is clean and dry so they redressed it and she has to go back next Tuesday for another check up.  She was very brave at the hospital and didn't shed a tear even when the dressings had stuck and had to be pulled off....think she's braver than me!!!

So what's on my desks for this week?.....

I have just quickly made you a couple of collages that you can click on for a closer look to show you what I've been up to.....as you can imagine I don't have much time for writing at the mo.

My first crafty love just has to be my sewing....

I know I don't claim to be a paper crafter but over the years I have gathered an awful lot of paper crafting stash  :-).....so out of the closet I come.....

As you can see I'm never idle for long  :-)  Short and sweet this week.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs,

Wahooooo  I've been paper crafting.

When you have all picked yourselves up off the floor I will continue.  :-)

On last week's WOYWW I saw the most gorgeous tag book on Jo[zart]'s blog and I left her a comment to ask if it would be possible to make one to hold my 30 plus ATCs....me being a complete novice at anything so clever I really had no idea.  Of course Jo being Jo she set to and straight away made one for me and another for that much older sister of mine.  She is such a kind, generous lady and as yet we have never met in person [but we have had a few lovely chats on the phone :-) ].

This is what Jo sent to me....

A fabulous tag book [she said simply made!!!!] that I really loved and a gorgeous little card with a robin on [so she knew for sure I would love that as robins just have to be my favourite little birds.]  :-)

So I straight away took all my last year WOYWW celebration ATCs down off my cupboard door [you can see the pic I posted last year of the display] and I filled the pages in my new tag book....wahooo I love it.  Thanks so much Jo.

Now I can hear you all saying..."so where is your paper crafting Annie?"  Of course once I'd seen the gorgeous book Jo made for me it gave me the challenge of making one for this year's ATC collection.

So......

Out came some of my stash of paper crafting materials....yes I really do have rather a lot of stash I rarely look at let alone actually do something with....of course it did help that I didn't have any sewing to do!

And here is my very first tag book made using the design Jo had used.....I hope you're proud of me Jo cos now I'm totally hooked.

It includes lots of snippets so I'm linking it over at Di's playground for this week....I'm sure she will be seriously in shock to see me paper crafting to join in the playground fun.

Of course the front cover had to have a dumfed flower picture done with machine/hand embroidery and beading on it ...fabric crafts is really what I do  :-)  The photo doesn't really do it justice but I'm sure you get the idea.

 And of course I have already filled it with all the amazing ATCs I have already received.  It really blew me away to study each and every one of them as I mounted them in my very first tag book...you each put so much love and effort into making them.

It's a real book FULL of love.  :-)

Thank you to each and every one of you and of course especially to Jo[zart]. xxxxx

Thank you for dropping by and leaving me such lovely comments.  I hope you've got over the shock of finding paper crafting going on here today.  I will do my best to call by to see what you've been up to later today or tomorrow cos I have 3 munchkin days this week, today being one of them.  :-) :-) :-)

Hugs,

Annie x
