WOYWW.....

Here we are at yet another Wednesday catch up with our creative friends.  The crop in Llandudno is fast approaching and I've been getting a few bits ready to bring with me to that plus it's been a busier week for me so far.


As promised last week here are my, now finished peg dolls....hope you like them as much as I'm certain Theo will.


On Saturday afternoon Jo came round to play while our men were at the footy.  As she left I thought I'd tidy up and put my beads back up in the cupboard but alas they didn't make it......and don't beads go a long way on laminate flooring?
They covered the whole of the floor, under all my cupboards too.....I didn't know whether to laugh or cry cos many of my bead containers has shattered!



After a trip to The Range on Sunday to pick up new storage Jo popped round on Monday morning to help me sort the gathered up beads into their new home.....it's surprising what you can do over a cup of coffee....it wasn't as daunting as I first thought.



Since then I've been enjoying cutting into some of my new fabrics.....can you guess what I'm making?



Little Theo has learnt to throw so of course he needs something that's safe to be thrown in the house.  I have previously made our other 5 grandchildren 10 bean bags each and I know they are still played with so I'm sure Theo will get a lot of play out of these.



Of course when you've cut into new fabrics, and Aldi's have some for sale this new pack just had to fall into my trolley at the weekend.....I'm sure fairly neutral greys will go with most things aren't you?
I couldn't resist temptation.



This is my latest little bear.  It's for the lady who won my latest gift draw over on my Facebook Page.  She sent me a really lovely message telling me all about the memories he will hold safe and I just know he's going to a really good home.....sometimes things happen for a reason and this is def one of those situations.


That's all I have to share this week.  Please leave me a little message so I know you've called in and I will do my best to pay you a return visit.

WOYWW...

Another week has passed and we are getting closer to Christmas so there has been a bit of making going on here at Sewing by Annie's


I've made 50 little triangular bean bags [yes 50!! I have 5 little grandchildren and of course to play a game they need 10 each!] and two floor target mats [two families].  I plan other games for them to use their bean bags to play with too.


I've had a bit of customer's sewing too...these are 3 square table cloths to be used for coffee mornings at the church opposite where we used to live....it's nice to see some of my customers have hunted me down and found me at the new bungalow. :-)


But mostly over the weekend there has been lots of this going on at ours.  This is my hubby playing with a hired digger to move the tree roots and a lot of earth to change our front garden.



Back at the beginning of September I share this photo of what the front of our new bungalow looked like before we took down the huge dying hedge on the right hand side.


This is what it looks like now....two very full skips of roots and earth and a lot of hard work thanks to my hubby and just look how much space we have gained.....I love it.

We plan to put weed preventing membrane and gravel down and new shrubs around the boundary garden.....we will get there but what I will say is we are really enjoying making it ours.




Thanks so much for calling by again this week.  Please leave me a little comment to say you've called in and I will do my best to pay you a return visit [I'm sorry but if your blog uses google+ I am unable to leave a comment but I do call by and read what you've been up to].

Hugs,
