This week's smiles.....week 429

 Here we are at another Friday's catch up of the smiles from the previous week.  I've had a few customers and have enjoyed doing their sewing plus have enjoyed some sewing for pleasure....see Wednesday's post.

It feels like all our family have been away on holiday this week...

The boys were told they were going away and could help their daddy pack the suit case....as you can see they climbed in so they didn't get left behind :-)

They have been away all week and, from the photos they have sent me they have been having a wonderful time.

Michelle and Lexi have been away for a few days on a girly holiday in Spain and they have had a lovely time.  

Our garden keeps giving us smiles.  The roses have had a good year and keep blooming.

Just to finish off I will add a few funnies to make you smile and say that I will be uploading Mr Linky with a few funnies in my absence next week because it's our turn to go on holidays.

This week's smiles....week 428

 Hello all.  We are here to catch up with the smiles from the previous week and although I've had lots of smiles I don't have a lot I can share with you.  I've had a really busy week with sewing and have shortened 6 bridesmaids dresses and much much more.

We had a lovely weekend with the boys.  I treated them to some Paint pencils and put the easel up outside so they could enjoy some creative fun.

Louie drew a lovely reindeer on the top of his paper and Theo drew a hill and rainbow...they were lovely pens to use.

That just leaves me a few funnies to share with you.  I hope you find something to make you smile and you will link up to your own smiles below.

This week's smiles....week 426

 I've had a lovely week filled with smiles.  I have had a few customers and met some really lovely people....I love my job.

We had the boys with us last weekend...

Saturday they went to Bewilderwood with their daddy and had a fun time together...the photos they shared made me smile a lot.

On Sunday the three of them went to Little owl wildlife farm...they loved all the animals and activities....so many smiles all round.

The only other thing I have to share with you are these funnies...I hope something here makes you smile and you will leave me a little message before linking to your own smiles below.

Have a great week.

This week's smiles....week 417

 What a week it's been here at Sewing by Annies.  It's been the school's half term holiday and I have been flooded with prom dresses.  It was Bank holiday on Monday so I wasn't working but my customers more than made up for it on Tuesday and Wednesday..3-4 prom dresses arrived each day plus other sewing jobs.

I dont work Thursdays normally because we have the boys here but this week they have been on holiday with their Mummy so yesterday I tackled a really tricky dress that I had to do [yes my choice and I have to say it was a job and a half]. 

 It took me 7 hours to just do the top layers!!  I still have 3 more layers to shorten yet.

I thought it was a good idea to do it while I had no customers to disturb me because I have 2 more prom dresses coming today.

This photo really made me smile from last weekend....I love it when the boys sit together like this.

Our garden continues to make us smile...these are just some of this weeks blooms.

Of course I have to finish off with a few funnies....I hope something here makes you smile and you will leave me a little comment before linking up to your smiles below.

 Here we are at another catch up of the smiles from the previous week...and there's been many for me.

I've been very busy with sewing with lots of posh frocks to work on  and I've still got lots more to come yet...it's prom season and I have lots of wedding/bridesmaids dresses too on top of yet more Memory bears :-)

We had a weekend with the boys last weekend...

They went to the open day for the Midlands Air Ambulance on Sunday and had a wonderful time, as you can see.

Lexi auditioned and has been given a place on the Disney Team 2026 to dance at Disneyland Paris....so very proud of her.  She's very excited as you can imagine.

Our garden continues to make us smile...the plants are bursting into bloom in every corner and I love it.

Lastly I have rather a lot of funnies to share with you this week...I'm sure something here will make you smile and hopefully nothing will offend.

Please leave me a little comment and then link up to your own smiles below.

This week's smiles....week 414

 Here we are at another Friday catch up of the smiles from the previous week...and as always I can find several to share with you...

Our Wisteria on our pergola outside our kitchen door is looking really gorgeous this year.

We had the boys for the weekend and on the Sunday their Daddy took them to Chester Zoo and had a lovely day.

We were bought this hanging bird house a couple of years ago and this year we have Robins nesting in there and can watch them popping in and out feeding their babies....we bought them some live meal worms to help them out and the boys have really loved watching them and learning all about them.

Our garden continues to make us smile with new plants blooming each week...I thought you'd like to share them.

We are going away for the weekend in our caravan today so please forgive me if I am unable to leave any comments this week. ...it will depend on the wifi on the campsite. 

Of course I have also found a few funnies to share with you...I hope some of them make you smile.

This week's smiles.....week 413

 Here we are at another catch up of the things in the week that has made us smile....and, as always, I've found quite a few.

This collage was from last weekend.  I knitted a little Louie with his red Spiderman jumper on and a little Theo with a stripey jumper on with a big T on the front and as you can see the boys really loved them....it made all the cramp and pain worth while [see Wednesday's post].

Sam has had a new outfit for his kickboxing....one minute he's singing/acting and dancing and the next minute he's kickboxing....dont you just love him?

We have a long weekend with the boys this weekend and as you can see from a couple of photos taken from last night the fun has already started...Theo built a wonderful car with the Knex and Louie fitted the triominoes together to make hexagons....he learns something new every day.

That just leaves me a few funnies to make you smile...I hope they work.

Please leave me a little message before linking up to your own smiles below.

 What a week it's been here at Sewing by Annie's....lots of smiles but no sewing.  I had nothing to share on my desk on Wednesday for that very reason.

We had the boys here for a long weekend so we had lots to smile about. We not only had fun time at home but we went for a ride on the Easter train from Llanfair Caereinion to Welshpool and even saw the Easter bunny who gave the boys an Easter egg each.

Wednesday night we went to Theatre Severn to watch Sam taking part in Nemo [Junior]....he played 5 different parts and the whole show was amazing.  We really do have a lot of very talented children in and around Shrewsbury.

So very proud of you Sam xxxx

That just leaves me to share a few funnies with you.  I hope you have all had a week filled with smiles and you will leave me a little message before linking up your smiles below.

This week's smiles....week 408

 Hello all.  It's been a week of highs and lows.  I was called back following my recent mammogram.  On attending the clinic they told me they had seen something in the glands under my left arm and after ultra scanning they took 4 needle biopsies and mentioned possible lymphoma.  I had to wait a full week for a phone call to tell me the time of my next clinic appointment.  They called me back on Tuesday afternoon to tell me they had found no abnormalities and I didn't need a follow up....PHEW!!  What a relief that was.

I would have celebrated if only both hubby and I hadn't gone down with another dose of flu...I don't think I've ever felt so rough and am still recovering.  We just don't seem to be able to shake the bugs off.

I popped out into the garden and quickly snapped as many of the flowers that I hadn't shown you before...I hope you love them as much as I do.

We had the boys last weekend and shared many happy moments.  Our son, Mark, used to love his Knex as a child and he still does...that really made me smile.  He had a lot of fun with Louie while Theo was away at cub camp with his mummy.

Sam is back on stage as one of only two children in the adult performance of Shrek....sadly we aren't well enough to go to see him.....his mummy has sent me lots of pics and videos so we don't miss out completely.

Peggy wen't for her first haircut this week...she was such a good girl for the groomer and not only looks really pretty but her coat is soooooo soft.

That just leaves me to share my funnies with you.  I hope something here makes you smile and you will leave me a little message before sharing your smiles with us too.

 Hello all.  Firstly I must say sorry for not leaving any comments last week.  I was feeling pretty rubbish [and are still recovering !!].  It's been a particularly horrid bug that has taken some shifting...but I will get there.

It was our weekend to have the boys so we had lots of fun with them even though little Louie was still recovering from the bug.

We had some lovely time outside in the garden getting some fresh air in the sunshine.

We also had some fun making rockets that propelled themselves into the air using elastic bands.

The Spring flowers are starting to come out all around the garden....and that really makes me smile.

Of course I have a few funnies to share with you too...and there do seem rather a lot this week too....have fun.

Hugs,

Annie x
