Irish Blessings

my new Annie this week is ~ Irish Blessings ~

she has green eyes ~ auburn hair

she is ready to dance wearing tiny black shoes and white baby socks!

This year has been too busy for me

I have only been able to make one

Annie each week instead of my usual two

my "real" job has been overwhelming

~ ~

when I get home at night I am exhausted

just can't sew as much as I would like

~~

dreaming of retirement :)

but can't for another 5 years :(

~~

and so it goes . . .

thanks for visiting everyone

have a wonderful ~ exciting week

be thankful

and

God bless.

♥ Smile ♥ and a Funky Cat

found this free pattern online to sew a cat or a rabbit ~

the rabbit is a Sweet Softies pattern called "funny bunny"

both can be found on the sew4home.com web site

I labored for over 5 hours to get it where I kinda like it ~

my hubby said he looked cool

as I was ready to throw him in the trash ~

not sure if I will be trying the bunny yet :/

my weekend was relaxing ~

stayed inside all day Saturday and sewed ~

my favorite kind of day and very thankful for it

thank you all again and again for visiting

have a great week

and

God bless!

♥ Friends ♥ ~ recycled sweater teddy bear

Annie has a little teddy bear friend ~

little bear was made from a recycled brown sweater ~

and very easy to make ~

below is his outline I found online searching for teddy bear pattern ~

Hope you enjoy this little bear.

Wishing all an amazing week!

God bless and thanks for visiting.

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday!

I didn't know how to start my blog this week hence the happy Monday ~ LOL

Shabby Cherish

this past weekend was a very productive one ~

I did take a vacation day on Friday so it was a 3 day weekend :)

~ finished Cherish plus started an order

and also the planning of a new Annie for Ebay

my last two listings on Ebay were auction style with the option to buy it now

well, one sold to the highest bidder and one as a buy it now

~ so now I do not know how I should list

I need help ~

should I continue to give the buy it now option

(as long as it is a free option)

or go back to bidding only???????

I have always loved the bidding part of Ebay as a seller ~

never knowing how much your Annie will sell for until the end ~

but when I am a buyer I only buy the buy it now items :/

any comments are appreciated

I do not sell my Annies any place else ~

just Ebay and custom orders from friends and this blog

Thanks for helping and visiting ~

God bless and wishing you all a wonderful week.

thank you all for visiting ~
wishing all a blessed and prosperous New Year ~
God bless.
