WOYWW.....

 What a difference a week makes eh?  Last week I had no customers at all so I worked hard with making my Christmas cards and now think I've made enough for this year....


I've made 60 cards in 7 different designs.  Some are appliqued, some are machine embroidered, some are hand embroidered and some are made using 1" squares of different Christmas fabrics.  I've made them in batches and really enjoyed being creative.




Monday started a whole new week.  I have..
  • Shortened 4 pair of trousers
  • Shortened the sleeves on a gent's coat
  • Cut out the Memory bear [left] ready to make it this morning and..
  • Hopefully the clothes to make 3 more Memory bears and a Memory elephant will be arriving in the post today.....so that should keep me busy for the rest of this week.



That's all I have to share with you today so if you leave me a little hello message so I know you've called in I will do my best to pop over to yours later [I did my best last week and think I popped in to see most of you].
I hope you're all keeping busy and staying safe and happy.
Hugs,
Annie x

Aw, one minute I read that you can’t get in the mood, and the next, you’re easy with the cards! Ouf, I really need to get mine written so I can tell about quantity! Yours look lovely, am sure you will get a lot of pleasure sending them. Funny how the orders come in waves isn’t it. I wonder if the lockdown ease will fill your rails again, I expect so. I keep forgetting to say how much your sweet pea header makes me smile when I open up your blog!

Well done Annie. It's like buses, you wait for ages and then several arrive at the same time but at least you got on with the card making and they are gorgeous. Sending hugs and wishes for a happy woyww, Angela x17x

Suddenly struck me reading your blog that your postie must be kept busy with all the parcels of clothing coming to your house. I wonder if the Royal Mail know what you do or what they think about the parcels.
Good to see you have been busy - I MUST make Christmas cards.
Hugs, Neet 11 xx

I am impressed with the number of cards you have made! I don't celebrate Christmas but I make cards each year for my SIL. I cannot imagine creating 60 cards. Yours look amazing!
