WOYWW...

Happy Wednesday to you all and I really hope you're feeling rather better than me.  Last Thursday we had a poorly Louie with us all day and he needed lots of cuddles [and calpol to keep his temperature down].  Needless to say he shares everything and since the weekend we have both been full up with the bug....high temps and a streaming head cold :-(  Hopefully it will go soon and my energy levels return.  I do have a few things to share with you [and no, I don't mean the head cold ].... 




This is my best news....I found my needle holder with all my favourite needles in it....and yes of course I had bought new ones!!  It was in the bottom of my handbag with some red thread and some snippers....I have no idea when I put it there or what I had been doing :-)
Just glad I've found it.



More good news....I've been restocking my fat quarters.  I used so many at Christmas time that my box was nearly empty.


A customer called in Monday morning with clothes that belonged to her father in law hoping I could make her 5 Memory bears for the family....two of them were to have little ties made out of his favourite blue tie.
I really enjoyed making these even though I was feeling pretty rough and, because of that, they took a little longer than normal.



I did have a little help from my bear stuffer and he had two fur babies interested to learn....actually Peggy usually chews a hole in her toys and pulls the stuffing out so I'm not sure they would make good bear stuffers lol

That's all from me for this week.  I will do my best to pay you a visit if you leave me a little message [head cold allowing of course].
Hugs,
Annie x

Oh dear, Peggy looks so interested in the bear stuffing going in - no doubt she wants to pull it out!
Sorry about the head colds, dreadful things, make you feel really down and out. Hope they clear quickly.

Sorry you’re feeling so rough and hope you pick up very soon. Hooray for finding your needles and case, I’d be lost without the one that Jo made me, it goes everywhere I do. At least you have extra needles now but isn’t it always the way that the originals turn up just when you’ve bought replacements? Loved the picture of Dod stuffing, he has a very attentive audience lol!

Oh dear, children are very free with their germs aren't they. Sorry to hear you both came down with it. One of my dogs was an absolute terror for making a hole in a toy and then pulling all the stuffing out. After mending them several times I tried a different tack - I took all the stuffing out and gave it back to her :) Happy WOYWW. Angela #13

So sorry you’re feeling rough Annie. Drink lots of hot honey, lemon and ginger and I hope you’ll feel better soon.
Of course your needle holder didn’t reappear from its black hole until you’d bought a new one! Glad you found it though. Your memory bears are beautiful.
Happy WOYWW

Horrah for finding the needle book, knew you would one day. Lovely fat quarters too, I've treated myself to some squares of patterned fabrics this week so I can do some more pages in my fabric book. Gorgeous bears as usual, love the mini ties. Nice to have a bear stuffer on hand LOL Hugs bj#1
