WOYWW....

I'm a bit like a duck on water this week...I remain calm on the surface in front of my customers but underneath the surface my feet are paddling like mad  :-)  I'm sure I'm not alone.

Yesterday one of my customers had to make 2 journeys to her car to bring in all she had been begging from her friends.  She has previously already brought Jo and I several piles of bedding for our 'dress the girl around the world' dresses that we have been making and yesterday's pile way outweighed anything she had brought before.  As you can see my ironing board was loaded up with some really pretty sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases.  We have had to put the little dress making on hold to find time for all our Christmas activities but we do promise to get back to it after Christmas so this will all be put to good use.

Also this week this gorgeous little gift came through my door from the ever lovely Jo[zart].  As you can see she has made me [and Jo] lovely pin cushions that attach to our sewing machines...they also have a place for my snippers to sit in....this just might stop me loosing them  :-)  Thanks Jo.

In between my many sewing jobs I am also knitting like mad for the special little people in my life.  This is the second of these I'm knitting....the other has sneaked into the corner of the photo above.  These have to be finished by Sunday because this is our family day to all be together for Christmas so I'd best keep knitting ...and quick!

As you can see I still have a Mr Tumble doll looking for a home.  He is sitting here watching me type but would really love to find a new home for Christmas so if any of you know of a little boy or girl who would love him then please get in touch...he was made as an order but the lady let me down at the last minute so he is still for sale if anyone would like to buy him and I can post him straight away so he would arrive in good time for Christmas. :-)

Well folks that's it from me this week....I have a 'to do' rail to clear and rather a lot of knitting to finish so I must keep moving.  Please leave me a little 'hello' message before you pop over to Julia's blog to join in the WOYWW fun.

WOYWW....

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to one and all,

Happy Birthday to you,

It's 2 years today since Julia had the brainwave of linking up us crafters by getting us to show and tell each week.  I've seen desks, floor spaces, settees and tables full of wonderful crafting stash.  I've 'met' the most amazing artists, card makers, fellow fabric crafters, creative writers....in fact just about everything that could be classed as a craft.  And the very best bit of all is that, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say, I have made some really special friends.

So it's a huge Thank you  to Julia and here's to many more wonderful Wednesdays together.

Cheers to one and all.

Now for my WOYWW  I'm just posting a couple of quick snaps of what is happening in my world today.

I've bought large double sheets and am making cot / moses basket sheets for the up and coming babies with them.  They are brushed cotton and will make lovely cosy baby wraps....notice 2 lots of blue and one lot of pink  :-)  Plus I have some table clothing [turquoise with colourful flowers on] to make a couple of covers for the patio tables.

Here is a quick snap of our two little treasures who were trialling the new push chair....it's just perfect....they loved it and it's so easy to push.  They popped to see us for an hour while their mummy and daddy were visiting their new baby cousin in hospital.  Our son in law's brother has become the very proud new dad of a gorgeous baby boy.........

I knew you would all like to see the first snap of baby Jack.  He was born on 29th May weighing 7lb 9 oz.  Both mum and baby are now home and doing well.  Little P and L have now seen their new baby cousin and think he's really cute  :-)



Now girls it's time to pop over to link yourselves on Julia's blog and hopefully you will all be joining in the Birthday celebrations with the pass if forward gifts.

Don't forget to check out the links on my last post to grab yourselves a bargain but you will have to be quick cos the auction will be ending soon.
