This week's smiles ....week 392

Well?  Did you miss me?   I'm sorry about the lack of contact last week....Our week away meant no internet even though the cottage we were in advertised that it had it! [And yes we did leave them feedback].

So what's kept me smiling over the last 2 weeks?

I thought I would quickly make a couple of collages of the photos I took while we were away in Cornwall.  Most were taken through the car window as it rained at least some of every day but as you can see we did lots of sight seeing during the week and even managed a ride on a steam train.  It's a beautiful county and I'm sure it's even better in the sunshine.

It was Steve's 9th birthday this week and as you can see his Mum and Dad treated him to a new Arsenal goal keepers kit which he loves.

Each year Amy adds a new photo to his birthday collage....doesn't time fly?

Milly enjoyed a holiday at the kennels while we were away and here she is back home soaking up some rays on her favourite chair....think she's enjoying being home.

I thought I'd share a few snaps of the garden delights before the frosts come and kill lots of them off....don't you just love the Autumn colours?

Finally for those with my sort of sense of humour.  I took this photo on holiday and sent it to our family with the title....Found him!

For those that don't get it I will explain next week :-)

This week's smiles....week 390

 Well, that week flew by.  They say time flies when you're having fun and it's sure been right here this week.

Saturday saw my darling hubby attending his first football match [wearing his blue face mask I made him] for over 6 months.  Shrewsbury town was chosen to be a trial team to allow a limited number of supporters to attend to watch the match live and Dod was lucky enough to be one of the 1000 to get a ticket.

Sadly they have now changed the rules and there will be no more crowds allowed in the watch sports events for the foreseeable future....but they can't away what's gone so he was happy to be one of the lucky ones.

Sunday was Lexi, Sam and Gina's birthdays so there was a lot of celebrating going on.  It all luckily was able to fit in the 'only 6 in a group' and a wonderful time was had by all.

Who would have believed it was 9 years since the twins were born?

For those that didn't see on Wednesday this was the Luna Lapin rabbit I made for Gina for her birthday....she had forgotten she had asked me to make one for her so it was a surprise when she opened it.....what really made me smile was I had forgotten to take a photo of her and Gina and Mark had enjoyed posing her to get the right photo for me :-)

The other pics I wanted to share with you were a couple of funnies I saw on Facebook that made me chuckle...

....they just appealed to my sense of humour so I'm hoping they make you smile too.

That's all from me for this week.  I hope I've shared something to make you smile and you will do the same by linking up below....we really need all the smiles we can get at the mo.

This week's smiles....week 245

Oh what a week it's been here at Sewing by Annie's.....and yes thankfully one filled with smiles.

Firstly let me thank those who took the time out of their busy lives to share their smiles last week....you really are such special friends.

Now on to a quick round up of my week's smiles in pics....

I've managed to finish the sewing for a big order for a shop in Doncaster....it just needs bagging up now.

• a 3 metre [approx] length of bunting
• 20 doggy bandanas
• 10 doggy ties and 
• 10 doggy bow ties.

On top of that little lot I've also had orders for 6 Memory Bears ....and yes that really makes me smile because each one comes with it's special reasons for making them.

A very special friend send me some really happy post as a belated birthday present....how well she knows me even thought we have only met once in real life.  Thanks Ellie xxx

As you know my grandchildren never fail to make me smile.  Theo has been having some fun with some salt dough and his mummy shared a few pics with me.

This is Phoebe, our eldest grandchild, blowing out the candles on her birthday cake....she's 9 now and is such a beautiful girl inside and out....I know I'm biased but I'm such a proud Nanny Annie.

 And here she is with her sister Lulu and brother Steve pulling faces for their mummy....don't you just love them?

There you go.  I've shown you my smiles now leave me a little message so I know you've called by and then link up to your own smiles below.

Hugs,
