WOYWW...

 It's been one of those weeks for me.  

At the end of last week this lot arrived...



Yes it's yet more factory trousers needing more zips and thanks to my wonderful hubby we managed to remove all the zips on Friday while I also got on top of lots of other sewing jobs.




There was yet more of them stacked on the other side of my sewing room....it was a huge bin bag full!!


By the end of Friday all the factory sewing was tucked away back in the bin bag ready to sew on Monday morning and three of my sewing machines were all set up ready for a fun class on Saturday.


On my cutting table I had ironed all my Christmas fabrics and put them ready too....can you guess who was coming and what we were going to make?





Yes it was Lulu and...


....Phoebe.  They are both able to use any of my machines now and are really keen to learn....bliss.



We chatted and giggled all afternoon.  By the end of the afternoon they had each made 11 bunting flags and we had put them all together.....



....and made a lovely long line of Christmas bunting for them to take home to their Mummy who is desperate to start decorating their house.

They are such lovely girls and even gave me a lovely smile each to show off their train tracks that they both have at the mo.



That was the up side of my week.  Sadly this is the downside.  On Friday night I started off with toothache and by Sunday I was in agony...paracetamol and Nurofen wouldnt touch it... so I had to go to an emergency dentist who thought I had an abscess and gave me antibiotics with instructions to see my own dentist on Monday. By Monday morning my face was swollen and when I went to see my dentist on Monday afternoon he confirmed the offending tooth and drilled it out and filled in then lanced the abscess for me...not an experience I ever want to repeat....boy was it painful!!  I now have 2 different courses of antibiotics and have to go back to my dentist on Thursday to see what will happen next....please keep everything crossed for me.



On top of all that of course I have a business to run and lots planned in readiness for the crop on Saturday....wish me luck folks.

Hugs,

Oh dear Annie, not a good thing to be happening when you are so busy - and the Crop looms. I wish you all the very best and if I lived closer I would come and help.
Glad you had a lovely day with the girls, sewing. How heartening it must be to you that they have taken to sewing as they have.
See you Saturday, hope you are better by then.
Hugs, Neet xx 4

Morning Annie. OUCH!!! I do hope all will start to improve now the dentist has sorted everything. Toothache is one of the worst, isn't it - seems to fill the whole of your head - horrid, bless you. Great bunting with the young ladies!! - oh boy! don't they look grown up!!!
Take care. God bless.

Oh Annie that sounds awful - and isn't it always the way that you get something like that just when it's really inconvenient!! Hope you feel better soon and manage to get everything done. Must have been lovely to have the girls over for a sewing session - but I had to think it's surely a bit too early for Christmas decorating?!*! Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, fighting fit!! Love n hugs, Cindy xx #14

Annie, I'm so sorry about the tooth - ouch - not fun! Hopefully, it will be sorted soon - I do hate going to the dentist, but I know it's gotta be done! Not a happy time for you but it will get better, sending you positive vibes! xx The girlies look so happy playing on your machines - future seamstresses or even textile artists! I could do with some lessons too! Been looking into quilting! Me! Can you believe it, LOL? Wishing you all the best - hope you will recover in time for the Crop. xx zsuzsa #16

Am so sorry that you have had an abscess. I have had one so I know how painful they are/. Unfortunately I lost the tooth, but I hope you will keep yours. Thank you so much for the work you are going for the crop. Happy WOYWW. Angela #9

Christine said...

So sorry about your abscess and hope you are feeling better in time for the crop. All that sewing work, know how you feel and when you work for yourself it has to be done, Gone our the days when I stayed up sewing into the early hours. You are so lucky to have two granddaughters who love to sew. Ani #17
