WOYWW...

Hello all and a happy Wednesday to you all.  We had our latest Covid booster on Saturday morning...the new Moderna one and my arm was so sore that Saturday night I struggled to sleep and Sunday night and Monday I ran high temperatures because of it.  I have previously had Pfizer with no side effects.  Let's hope it does it's job eh?

Since we were here last Wednesday I've made....



3 lovely Memory bears and two little memory hearts in memory of a much loved Grandma.
These were for a customer I've known for many years and I would say has become a friend now so it made making them even more special.

I love my job because I must be one of the only sewing ladies in Shrewsbury that gets hugs and kisses from her customers...and I've made so many friends because of my job.


This is my desk today.  I've managed to find a few more Advent Calendar fabric panels so Monday I did the pressing, folding and sewing of all the pockets so now I just have to do the wadding, backing etc to get them finished.....they have been so popular and even if they don't sell I can save them until next year.




The other desk I'm sharing with you today is this one.  You may remember a few weeks back I had an afternoon with Phoebe and Lulu teaching them how to make bunting and this is what they got up to at the weekend.
Their Mummy bought them some halloween fat quarters and some tape and they set to to make their own bunting.
Oh how it makes my heart sing to see them 'flying' alone...and choosing to do it too.....I'm such a proud Nanny Annie.







That's it from me for this week.  I will do my best to pop over to as many desks as I can in between my sewing jobs.  I hope you all have a great week.
Hugs,
Annie x

Wonderful to see your girls following on in your footsteps - you have taught them well! Hope you are fully recovered from the vaccine - I have to say the Moderna one was pretty ghastly for me but much better I'm sure than Covid!
Hope you have a great week,

Lovely to see the granddaughters doing their own sewing. It is a great skill to have. I saw the puppy in your previous post - how gorgeous. Will you be making dog toys and blankets? Happy WOYWW. Angela #11

It's not the bunting alone that astounds me, it's the size of those girls. How they have grown. You don't realise when you see someone as a tot in Blogland that time passes and they become young adults. Well done on teaching them to sew. Now they can fly.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx
