WOYWW....

Here we are at another fun Wednesday when we can catch up with all our creative friends from all round the world....It's my favourite day of the week.  I'm pleased to hear Julia is being sensible and resting well and is making a good steady recovery....keep it up Julia :-)

For those that don't usually pop over on a Friday to see what has made me smile during the week you might like to scroll to the post below to see the pic....I just know a lot of you will find it familiar and it will certainly make you smile :-).....and it would be good to see more of you joining in the Friday fun too....all welcome.

I am well ploughed under with sewing now so will just quickly show you my bag that is now finished..

I'm rather chuffed with how it's turned out.  It's fully lined with a zipped pocket in the one side and a pocket for my phone to go in the other side.

I have a rail full of wedding/bridesmaid/flower girl dresses [5 now finished, 3 all pinned ready to do and 2 more yet to have their fittings]

I have a rail with 6 pair trousers on needing shortening.

And I have yet more of the dreaded curtains to do...I pair needing shortening, one curtain has been cut down the middle to make a small pair of curtains with and a pair of tie backs to make.

I'm sure you will be able to imagine just how busy I'm going to be doing all this but I do promise to do my best to pop over to say hello if you leave me a little message to let me know you've called by.

Hugs,

WOYWW.......

First and foremost I want to say I really hope our wonderful leader is now back home and making a good steady recovery from her holiday in the Spanish hospital.....you've been missed by all. xxxx

Next I am going to show you the latest bunch of yet more wonderful ATCs that have arrived through my door in the last week....

1. Chris Dann
2. Kezzy....thanks so much for all the gorgeous extras sent with it. x
3. Anne

Thanks so much girls xxxx

 Then I would like to share with you the happy post I've had.  I follow My Fabric House on Facebook and was lucky enough to win this gorgeous pack of fat quarters.  It's worth checking them out if you're looking for fabric cos they have an amazing amount of fab materials at sensible prices.....I'm still doing a happy dance. :-)

And of course finally what is on my work desk this week?.......

 What is that? I hear you say :-)

I am designing a clutch bag for me to use at our son's wedding in August and saw an idea I rather fancied on Pinterest so I have been playing with two strips of wide ribbon and lots of pins to see what effects I can get. 

So with a lot of planning, an awful lot of pins, a few stitches and a few selected beads this is what I cam up with....

The fabric underneath is what I'm making my bag out of and the colours match my dress, jacket and sandals to perfection so I'm rather pleased so far.......

.....just got to make the bag now :-) oh and of course I need some of those big pants that hold everything in to wear under it all  ;-)

Well folks that's all from me on the creative side....I'm afraid the house moving fiasco with many phone calls to estate agents, solicitors and building societies still hasn't finished so it does tend to sap the mojo somewhat!!!....we will get there and when we do you will hear me from where ever you are in the world!!!

Please leave me a little hello comment so I know you've called by and I will do my best to pop over to say hello.

Hugs,

Annie x
