WOYWW...

 Hello all.  I was missing last week, basically because I had nothing to show you.  I had virtually no customers at all over the Easter holidays....I missed it but enjoyed the break and refilled my batteries.  This was meant to be because since Monday morning I have...

• Shortened 3 skirts
• Shortened a prom dress 
• Made 2 Memory bears
• Shortened 2 pair of trousers for one customer
• Shortened 6 pair of trousers for another customer

Today I have 2 pair of trousers to shorten for one of my regular customers and 2 Bridesmaid dresses to shorten and I also have 3 more Memory bears coming.  It really is all or nothing here at Sewing by Annie's

This is my to do rail...the pale green and the brown dresses are the bridesmaid dresses.  The navy dress on the right is the prom dress.

There are 2 of the pair of jeans hanging on my rail and the other 8 pairs are folded in their bags....so I have bags of clothes everywhere in my room....it's organised chaos :-)

These are the two Memory bears I've made....using a much loved man's favourite shirt and jumpers.

Finally I have these two little knitties to show you.  While I was enjoying my Easter break I fancied doing a little bit of knitting....I say  little bit because arthritic hands and knitting don't really go together.

I found these tiny 4" characters on Pinterest and bought the pattern on line....then couldn't find where it had downloaded to!!  I wasted half the morning finding it then searched for the right sized needles and could only find one!!  Eventually found the second needle and then looked for the right colours of wool....they have pale pink faces because I couldn't find any cream!!  Do you think something was trying to tell me I shouldn't be knitting?

Eventually [after lots of cramp in my hands!!] I managed to create a little Louie in his Spiderman jumper and a little Theo with a stripey jumper with a T on the front.  The boys really loved them so my labour of love was well worth it.

That's all from me for this week.  I hope you've all had a great week.  If you leave me a little message I will do my best to pay you a visit ASAP.

Hugs,

WOYWW.....

It's been another week of celebrating here.  Our youngest daughter Amy was 29 this week and Sunday we all got together for lunch at Shell's new house....I do so love family together times. 

Here on the right is a quick snap of the 5 little ones while we were all together.....

....haven't they all grown since the snap on the left?  :-)

Now I know you have really come to see what I've been busy with this week so here is a snap of Jo helping me to arrange the stress busting, house moving squares I've knitted [160 in total now!!!]....

We are both Librans so to have to make decisions about anything really isn't easy for either of us :-) ...do we go with a boy one and a girl one?, a pastel one and a bright one?....Ooer decisions decisions.  In the end I decided two fairly random coloured ones would be best.

Well?  What do you think?

I've crocheted the big squares together and then went round the outside with 3 rows to tie some of the colours together.  This is the first one finished and the good news is I still have another to complete.

I decided that maybe, just maybe our house move was waiting for the blankets to be finished....Hoping now that I will have news to share soon  :-)

The other things I want to share with you are the two little dolls that Jo [hers is on the left] and I [mine is the one on the right] have now completed for  Margaret over at Glitter and Glue.  They made friends yesterday as soon as I had finished mine and are now winging their way together to Margaret.....hope they arrive safely :-)

If you'd like to knit a little doll for Margaret please pop over to her blog here at Glitter and Glue and help to raise funds for her charity.

Well folks, that's all from me for today.  I have an extra play day with my little twinnies today so it will be later today or tomorrow that I will be able to pay you a return visit but if you leave me a little hello comment I will do my best to pop over to say hello.

Hugs,

Annie x
