WOYWW...

The easy answer to what's on my work desk today is.....a little more than last week!  Thankfully I am now feeling much better and life is returning to normal [that is if it ever is here at Sewing by Annie's :-) ].

On my desk ironing board and table today is a new project I have been planning.  Having been truly inspired by Maryke Phillips who had a stand at the quilting exhibition Jo and I went to a few weeks back I have been getting my head around making a fabric book.  Maryke makes the most gorgeous quilted books using felts, fabrics, beads and stitching...you can see them in her gallery over here.  I am really loving all the gorgeous colours in nature at the moment so am planning on calling this book Autumn.  It will be something I will do on Funday Mondays and in between my customer's sewing jobs so will take a long while to make....I don't plan to rush it  :-)


You can even see a little autumn sunshine :-)




The other thing I've got to show you today is a little pair of slippers I made on Monday from a pattern designed by one of my blogging friends Penny.  The pattern is for an up to 6 month baby but I thought it just might fit our little Lexi.  I love this random wool and they have made up really pretty but......




.....my little model is so tiny that they are still too big for her so we will will have to wait for her to grow into them.  :-)  Thanks for the pattern though Penny.










The other thing I'd like to share with you is a photo I took of the sky at silly o'clock on Tuesday morning while waiting for the twins to arrive for a day's fun with Nanny Annie......well worth getting up early for eh?


Thanks to all who called by here last week and left me such lovely get well comments....I'm sure they really helped my speedy recovery....You really are all such a lovely bunch.  

Before you pop over to Julia's to join in the Wednesday fun if you'd like to leave me a little hello comment I will pay you a return visit in between my sewing jobs.  Thanks for calling by.
Hugs,
Annie x

Happy Friday to one and all....

Just a quickie to say thank you to all those lovely bloggers who left kind comments on my WOYWW post.  As you all know my days are always full of all sorts ...

Now today is one of those days....
  • I have started off with a medical for me for an insurance [I passed.... all ok]
  • Twiglet has just text to say she is on her way
  • Eldest daughter is coming for a day's nurturing
  • Two special little girls are coming for their mummy to go for her antenatal booking appointment etc
  • I'm still open for business with the sewing [just hope I don't get too many customers today!]
I also hope to fit in some knitting, some cooking of meals, [have already hoovered the house!] and would really like to watch the red nose telly tonight.

Can you please remind me......

How many hours are there in the day?

What I would like to share with you is what my daughter has been doing while resting on the settee.....



She has been knitting booties....but as you can see she has only knit one of each so far and one was knit in double knitting and the other in 4 ply :-)  I think she may need to knit a few more for her twins don't you?





Now folks don't forget to pop over to the shop and put your name down to be in with a chance to win the set of desk accessories that's up for grabs this week.  Good luck.
