Well folks what a wonderful week last week was....for so many reasons.
The 9th blog anniversary saw me visiting everyone who had joined in the fun....even if there were a few I was unable to leave a comment on [sorry about that].
I've had a lovely week since with happy mail popping through my letterbox each day with ATC swaps.....

Sarah
Jo
Margaret
Heather
Jan
and Neet
Nikki
Cindy
Angela
Julia
and Shaz
They are all so different but each one was made with love and I will treasure them....just got to make a folder now for them to go in :-)
It was a really busy week for me with sewing too. In the 4 days I worked [I don't work Tuesdays as I often have little Theo to look after] I managed to.......
- Make 2 Memory bears and 1 Memory rabbit
- Shorten 2 bridesmaids dresses
- Put a concealed zip in a heavily sequined evening dress
- Shorten 3 dresses
- Shorten the sleeves on 2 dresses
- Shorten 4 pair trousers and
- Take in a bikini top
As you can imagine there weren't many spare minutes in my days but I love it when I'm busy and was really buzzing.
The one little Memory bear was made out of a school fleece jacket with a special label around his neck......I hope Ella likes it as much as I do cos it's really cuddly.
The other two were made in memory of a much loved sister. I really love the colour combination of these two and the lady I made them for loved them so much she would like me to make a cat to match them....so it's back to the drawing board for me to design a cat pattern.....
First draught of pattern.....will make one up now to see what it looks like.
You may see the finished cat next week....if it turns out ok :-)
That's all from me for today. Please leave me a little comment so I know you've called by and I will do my best to pay you a return visit ASAP.
Hugs,
Annie x
