WOYWW....

 Hello all.  My name is Annie and I'm an OAP

It was my birthday Monday and at last I have reached 66 which means I can recieve my state pension.....but for those thinking I will be stopping sewing I wont.  I love my job so will be continuing to sew.  I may a little more selective on the jobs I take on and will def be enjoying my time with the grandchildren and the time we spend on adventures in our caravan but I do plan to carry on working, at least for a while yet.


I've had some beautiful flowers and even had a Happy Retirement balloon plus I have been spoilt rotton with a lovely meal out and a trip to the theatre to see Vincent Simone [of Strictly come dancing fame] in his Argentine Tango dance show....it was amazing.

We are back to the theatre tonight to see Sarah Milligan and I am really looking forward to that.



I completed the first 'gifted' Advent calendar and when I went to cut the second one out I discovered it was actually two folded up together so I have now made 3 and will be selling them for the Harry Johnson trust.


Now this is def a coincidence.  On my desk today is two piles of clothing to make bears from.  

The turquoise set on the right hand side is to have a school bear made for a little girl who has just left school in Australia.

The white/grey set is to make 3 memory bears for a lady who lives in Australia and they will be flying out to their new home when finished.

I'm conquering the world folks :-)


That's all from this OAP for today.  I will do my best to pop over to yours as soon as I can but it's a fun day with Louie today so please be patient with me.

Hugs,

This week's smiles.....week 495

 It's been another busy week for me....I've had a couple of days busy with customers and the rest of my week I've filled with Charity makes....bunting and reversible bags...and I'm loving using my time to hopefully raise funds for a great cause.  I've had lots to smile about and I've got a pic or two to share with you...




This is a photo of Louie playing with a fabric ark I made for the twins....It makes my heart sing watching these things being shared between the grandchildren.


The other news is he has starting crawling this week. :-)





I found this mug on the internet and it said everything to me....I retire in October this year in 10 month 10 days [not that I'm counting  :-)].
I have no plans to stop sewing but there are some jobs I will be giving up...I can be selective can't I ?










Of course it wouldn't be Friday without a few funnies so here you go.
I hope you've found something here to make you smile and will now leave me a little message before linking to your own smiles.
Hugs,
Annie x
