WOYWW...

 Hi all.  It's mostly a bear, bear and more bears sort of week for me but I  do have an update on the machine embroidery that I started when Jo, Jan and I enjoyed a craft day together.  So bears first [and there's been lots of them]....

This one used a Dad's jacket and his favourite shirt....and I also made 3 little hearts in the same fabrics to go with him.

Two more made for a returning customer

....just my favourite sort of customer.

Another returning customer...one I have known for many years :-)

A little bear made from a Mum's 4 nighties that she had worn in her final days in hospital.....and this one has gone to live up in Doncaster.

4 memory bears to remember a special Grandad for his 4 grandchildren.

Here's the next two I'm making .....one is to go in a memory box for a baby brother who is going for adoption

.....my customers like to share so much with me.

I thought you'd like to see the 'little' bag of stuffing I bought at the weekend....I go through so many bags of stuffing making all the bears I've been making lately....Since the beginning of November I have made 42!!!!!

Last, but by no means least, here is my completed Christmas wreath....I spent a bit of time doing some creative sewing at the weekend and really enjoyed making this....you may see Jo and Jan's on their blogs this week too and it's so lovely how different the 3 are.

That's all from me for this week.  I hope you've had a good week too and will leave me a little message so I know you've called by.  It's a Louie fun day today so I will be around to visit when he's gone home.

Hugs,

The 'C' word is taking over my room :-)

Christmas seems to be taking over here in my sewing room.  I have now made 8 Christmas wreaths, an advent calendar and a huge batch of Christmas card toppers.  I like to keep a record of the things I make so where better to keep it?  [You can share it too this way :-) ]  

This post is rather picture heave but I have been rather busy making  :-)

This is one of three advent calendars that I have the fabric for so I still have two more to make yet  :-)  It is approx 20" x 21" with hanging loops and each pocket has a flap to keep it's contents hidden.

This will be £40.00 plus postage

I have made 8 wreaths and each one is made of different Christmas fabrics so the overall effect is slightly different.  They are each approx 10" across.

I will be selling these at £15.00 each plus postage.
