WOYWW.....

 As we inch ever closer to Christmas day I've been keeping busy.  I've been feeling like Santa's little helper with all I have been making [some of which I can't share with you....yet].  For now I can share these...

I made the boys some marble mazes...they have one of these and love it so I've made them a few more each.

I made 10 little magnetic fish and a fishing rod for them to play with.

I made them a large noughts and crosses game to play together with.

I then made 12 bean bags and a floor target.

I'm determined to make lots of memories for them that avoid the need for gadgets.

I then made 7 fabric bags to keep all their games in...to encourage them to tidy away before getting the next game out [well I can stay hopeful can't I?].

I think I've used nearly all my fat quarters now so I can see a shopping trip coming up soon :-)

I hope you have enjoyed your visit today.  My plan is to shut up shop this Friday to enjoy a couple of weeks chill [who am I kidding?].....baking and Christmas prep to be done yet.

Hugs,

WOYWW....

 It's been a trying sort of week here at Sewing by Annie's because our internet started playing up [and we only had full fibre installed in January].  It kept dropping out and eventually on Thursday it stopped all together....and boy don't we miss it when we haven't got it?  I felt like my right hand had been chopped off...there is so much in the house that uses it!!   We called an engineer out who came at lunchtime on Friday and he pointed out that the fitter that installed our fibre had stapled through the cable!!  Thankfully he was able to replace the cable and within minutes we were back online.

It's been a quiet week with customers so I have used my time well and.....

.....completed the strip quilt I was making.  There is still a lot of fabrics strips left so I may have to make another or find something else to use them on.

On my little ironing board are 12 little marble mazes I have made for the charity.  I made two for Theo and Louie and they were such a success that I am certain they will sell well.

Apparantly Theo loved his so much that he thinks he'd like to make a really difficult one with me next time he comes :-) :-) :-)

That's all from me for this week.  I hope your week has been trouble free and you have lots of fun creative things to share with us when I call in to see you.

Hugs,
