WOYWW...

 Hello all.  I've had another busy week here at Sewing by Annie's but its not been all work :-)  It's my birthday tomorrow so there's been a few early birthday treats too...

Saturday we went to Birmingham to see John Bishop at the NIA....he was brilliant [we laughed until our faces ached].  We then stayed the night in a hotel and had breakfast the next morning before we went back home.

Monday night we went to Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury to see Russell Watson [a birthday treat for my big sister]....he was amazing and a good night was had by all.

I have had a few customers needing sewing and in between I have...







....made the 7 cushion pads and put books in each of the front pockets.



I have also been sewing some of the little frogs.









I had a very sad looking little Ted arrive through my door this week.  He is 76 years old and was falling apart sadly.  I sat chatting to his owner who was a lovely gentleman and had been given Ted for his first Christmas.  We discussed what he wanted me to do.  He needed a new arm and ear making, two new eyes, a good wash and restuffing.  Some of his panels were falling apart and needed replacing too.




Here is Ted after  I'd finished with him....he certainly looks better than he did.  I couldn't match the fur perfectly and even had to dye what I managed to get with coffee.




That's all from me for today.  I hope you will leave me a little message so I know you've called in and I will do my best to pay you a visit ASAP.
Hugs,
Annie x

WOYWW....

 Hi all It's been a productive sort of week for me here at Sewing by Annie's.  I've had several customers and have done all their sewing and along side that I have....




Made two lined activity play mats that will gather up to use for storage of lego etc




Crocheted some little worry worms...and have other stocking fillers in mind to make too.




Appliqued the boys names on new stockings.




Appliqued their names on two santa sacks.




Made them each a book cushion with their names on the fronts....they are just waiting for a book for each of the pockets.



I then bond a webbed the things to go on two cuddly blankets for the boys...I'm just waiting for the fleece to come to back them with.

All in all it's been a lovely week making special memories.  I've enjoyed being creative.

Hugs,
