This week's smiles ...week 482

 Phew! hasn't it been a scorcher?  We are just not used to it are we but we have survived it so far with lots of drinks and fans in almost every room and thankfully it's much cooler now.

Louie has been living in just his nappy but was still happy to have Nanny cuddles...he likes to copy me [especially when I poke my tongue out] and is chuckling now...he's such a cutie.

We filled our paddling pool and you can see we weren't the only ones to enjoy the cool water.

We had a tiny visitor yesterday when a baby wren flew in through the patio doors.  I was able to pick him up in my sewing room window and have quite a long chat with him sitting on my hand while he recovered before he flew off...don't you just love nature?

Finally here's a few pics I took in our garden yesterday.  A lot of the flowers are suffering from the heat but our tomatoes are ripening well now in the greenhouse.

Finally here's the funnies I've found this week...there seems more than ever but thought you'd like to share them.  Have a great week my friends.

Hugs,

WOYWW....

What a busy week it's been so far....Monday was manic and Tuesday was no better.

My weeks story in pictures...

I finished my latest pair of little knitties for the twins over the weekend.

One of several batches of home made bread made so far this week...I rarely buy bread but who would blame me?  If this was smelly blog then you would understand.

The postman brought me a parcel Monday morning all the way from Penny [Violet-White] in France for me to use to make little dresses for the African girls.....Thank you so much Penny for your support....the world really is a smaller place.

By  the end on Monday Twiglet had helped me cut this material into 6 little dresses and 3 larger ones...plus another batch from some pale blue sheeting one of my customers gave me to use.

This little bird had flown into my sewing room window so I gently picked him up and he happily hopped up and down my arm while he recovered so Twiglet snapped a quick picture for you.

These three offered me no help what so ever and decided to just enjoy the sunshine!!

During Monday we had a visit from M so I snapped a quick pic for you to see how the twinnies are growing.  Bless her she has little room left and still has another 11 weeks to go/grow.  She came out with one of her friends [also 21 weeks pregnant] and her little 2 year old boy who needed his trousers shortening.....I can't wait to have little grandsons....little J was so cute and such a good boy.

During Monday I had soooooooo many customers and they filled my 'to do' rail with 3 curtains to shorten and 8 pair of trousers!!

I guess I don't have to tell you what I spent Tuesday doing.

So?  What's on my work desk today?

This lot has just arrived through my door and he would like these 5 pair of trousers all done to pick up later today!!  3 need either letting out or taking in and all 5 need shortening!!  Another busy day ahead of me!

Sorry my post is so picture heavy today but it was the easiest was of sharing my week with you all.  In my quiet times I shall be running up as many little dresses as I can fit in and am still accepting any donations of spare pillow cases or fabric so please hunt out any you've got spare and send them along to me....just email me for more details.

Before you shoot off to Julia's to join in the WOYWW fun just leave me a quick comment even if only to say hello.  Have a great week.
