WOYWW.....

 Here we are at another catch up with our creative friends to see what they have been busy with this week.  If you want to know more then please pop over to Sarah's Craft Shed for details and why not join in the fun?

I've had a busy week with a steady flow of customers.  I've....

• Shortened 7 pair of trousers
• Let one pair of trousers down for a very tall young man
• Put a new zip in a pair of jeans
• Shortened the straps on a Bridesmaid dress [made more difficult because the straps had frills]
• Plus I have made this gorgeous Mamory Bear...

It's made to give the groom-to-be and is made from his Nan's top, his shirt he wore for his first job and on the back is a panel from his first child's babygro....lots of very special memories.

That's all from me for now.  This little bear has brought my numbers up to 990 so I just need to make 10 more now to reach my 1000...and I have 9 on their way very soon :-)

 Hello to all my WOYWW friends.  Here's hoping Neet it still going on well and is able to join us now and then....we miss you lots.

I've had a week of folk coming out of the woodwork wanting sewing done for Weddings, Proms, Memory bears and everyday clothing....my diary is fast filling.

This is one of the bridesmaid dresses that I have done this week.  I had to take it up on the shoulders so that needed little gathers putting in the tops of the capped sleeves once the amount was taken out .....lots of keyhole surgery done and it was a very fiddly job but it was worth it because the finished job was lovely.

I also had to shorten the hems of the 3 layers of the skirt....all 13 metres of them!! 

In between my sewing jobs I have knitted my first twiddle mitt while watching the telly....thanks Jo for the instruction. I've found knitting with chunky wool on large needles so much kinder on my arthritic hands and have really enjoyed making it...so much so that I have now started number two.

I'm not the only one to have enjoyed some telly this week.  Peggy really loves David Attenborough's Secret Garden programme....she sits like this every time one of the animals comes on screen :-)

This is all from me for this week.  If you leave me a little message I will call by to see what You've been up to this week.

 Hi all.  I've had a busy couple of weeks but have no crafting to share with you sadly.  We had our first weekend away in our caravan at our favourite campsite in Wales and came home to watch....

...Sam playing the part of Mungojerrie in Cats at the theatre in Shrewsbury.  He was amazing as were the other performers....we are so lucky to have so many talented young people in Shrewsbury.

He sang and danced and the show was brilliant....so very proud of him.

We had Shell, Lexi, Sam, Theo and Louie round for an Easter treat.  It was so lovely to have them all here together.

We had a trip out to a garden centre near Welshpool to buy plants to restock our garden and here's a few pics of what is making us smile out there at the moment.

We took Peggy for a run up on Lyth Hill near us and I always try to run my Merlin bird app while I'm up there and this was the results of our trip....we are so lucky to have such a lovely place to visit.

That's all from me for this week.  I'm getting busy with customers coming for Wedding alterations now so I'm not sure what I will have to share with you by next week.

Hugs,
