Shabby Blessings Annie

Kindness Blooms

She is anxiously waiting for spring ~ just like me :)

This little Annie has hand made shoes to match her dress and loons.

This was the first time I tried shoes that

I actually liked ~

tried shoes before but always threw them out ~

Thanks for visiting ~

Wishing a wonderful week.

God bless.

Bloom Where You are Planted

using a new wool for Annie's hair

this is a heather brown ~

it is not as soft as the other yarn I used in the past

unfortunately I can no longer buy that rug yarn

one good thing is this new supplier

has a lot more colors!

Thanks for visiting ~

God bless

Believe in Yourself

This week's Annie is Believe in Yourself

she comes with Ella ~ her little elephant

I love how Ella's body turned out ~

after the pieces were sewed

I dunked them in coffee ~

scrunched them all up

then threw them in the clothes dryer

after they were dry then she was stuffed

and pieced together

Annie and Ella will be up on Ebay next week.

Thanks for visiting ~

Have a wonderful week and

God Bless.

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.
