This week's smiles....week 417

 What a week it's been here at Sewing by Annies.  It's been the school's half term holiday and I have been flooded with prom dresses.  It was Bank holiday on Monday so I wasn't working but my customers more than made up for it on Tuesday and Wednesday..3-4 prom dresses arrived each day plus other sewing jobs.

I dont work Thursdays normally because we have the boys here but this week they have been on holiday with their Mummy so yesterday I tackled a really tricky dress that I had to do [yes my choice and I have to say it was a job and a half]. 





 It took me 7 hours to just do the top layers!!  I still have 3 more layers to shorten yet.

I thought it was a good idea to do it while I had no customers to disturb me because I have 2 more prom dresses coming today.







This photo really made me smile from last weekend....I love it when the boys sit together like this.





Our garden continues to make us smile...these are just some of this weeks blooms.




Of course I have to finish off with a few funnies....I hope something here makes you smile and you will leave me a little comment before linking up to your smiles below.

Hugs,
Annie x

Great work on that multi layered gown. Loved the funnies but my favourite pic is the one of the boys. Gorgeous. 🥰

Hi Annie, that's an interesting dress but looks fiddly to say the least. Nice pic of the boys and loving the funnies. I used to have the Sooty and Sweep pair but like many of my childhood stuff they apparently left home when I went to college .........that was according to my mother! Luckily my father managed to rescue some of my favourite teddys. Have a good weekend, hugs Angela xXx

That dress sounds like my studies.
In Germany we do not have proms... weeee, am I glad! I can´t dance and I do not like fancy...

Sweet pics wit the boys!
And a wonderful garden.

LOL on the Zoom meetings! And the birds! My Brother would be on the girls side and me on the male one...
B&B!!! And argh! Ingo put German conducts on products we got from Australia. Cute bio-lesson and oh, Freddie is an ant now!
Great ones - thank you for the smiles!!!

I am glad it was not me tackling that dress. It was a serious undertaking so well done you!.
Lovely picture of the boys. I hope they enjoyed their holiday.
The garden is looking good and your funnies made me smile. Kate x

Well done you for tackling that complicated dress. We didn't have proms when I was young. It's a thing that drifted over from across the pond.
Yes, what a lovely photo of the boys.
I had a good old giggle at the funnies. I cried out at the shaving one!
Your garden is gorgeous and >I love the tulips in your header.
Sorry for being late commenting. I have been out since very early this morning and then half way through the day I remembered that I hadn't even linked (as I left the house before you had published).
Enjoy your weekend,
Lisca
