BREAK OUT THE FOOD AND THE DRINKS,
IT'S GONNA BE A PARTY...
I have had such a great time this past week catching up with friends and family that I'd not seen for a couple of years - in fact it was such a great time that I didn't take any pics, just forgot and concentrated on enjoying the moment! I know my niece Clare reads my blog - it was amazing to see your beautiful little family and have a cwtch with my newest great nephew, you and Darren are fantastic parents! We also called in on Julia and she did let me get a word in occasionally *grin*, again no pics but a great time was had by all.
This is a desk from a couple of weeks back:
I was making some bunting for Clare's little boy and didn't want her to see it before we met up!
I enjoyed putting this together and used up the very last of the seaside fabric.
There may have been another fabric delivery this week, just a couple of metres of a fun doggy print...
Everything just got dumped on the desk.
I also cut into the sheep print to make some bags, there's black and white cotton twill tapes for some more mastectomy drain bags and the gauze bag contains yarn that Julia passed onto me.
Fun huh? I know the dog stuff will go but wasn't sure about the sheep so only got 1.5m, it's all an experiment!
Lynne (Lynnecrafts) and her hubby will be arriving later to stay for a couple of days, we've been friends for 39 years but haven't seen each other for a long time so it's going to be fab catching up! I'll see if I can remember to take a photo this time, lol!!
Have a great week xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ooh, I love that sheep fabric . I am sure it will work well with whatever you decide to make with it - it is so stonking cute! Can you think of anything bedtime-ish? It would be perfect. Can definitely see the doggy print selling well, lovely choice.
Enjoy your days with Lynne, should be wonderful nattering about the old times and all the fun you two had, or even the four of you.
Hugs, Neet 6 xx
I love the sheep fabric and looks like you are back to full steam ahead with the sewing. I am off to Glasgow to collect my sewing machine which has been in for a much needed service. Enjoy your time with friends. Catriona
Those fabrics are lush. I was very tempted when i went to Doncaster to the craft show. There's a guy there who sells the most gorgeous fabrics but I have to admit I bought some from him in 2019 and still haven't used it but love just touching it, one day it will come to me Lol! Enjoy you friends get together, sounds great. Thanks for your kind comment over at mine too. Stay cool and have a lovely woyww. Hugs, Angela x11x
Good morning Jan, the sheep fabric is cute and the bunting looks lovely. Have you ever used a fabric that didn’t sell? Thank you for your lovely comments. Enjoy your catch up with Lynne, we are expecting visitors on Thursday, but they are bringing their own accommodation:). Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
Gorgeous fabrics Jan - it makes sewing it up more fun when it's so cheery, I think. Have a fab few days with Lynne - so lovely to get together with best buddies after so long. I'm not posting this week - we had a few days in Scotland and I came back with Covid!! xx Jo
Hi Jan,

Have a lovely time with Lynne and her hubby.
Happy WOYWW

Oh that bunting is beautiful. So glad you had time with family/friends. It's so necessary for all of us. Just invigorating to enjoy outdoors, good food and friendships. Stay cool and rally on
Super super doggy fabric and I love the bunting, you are so clever. I’m not sure I believe Julia did all the talking, I bet you gave her a run for her money11 Yes, I am a really bad procrastinator, I have learnt to live with it as I work best under a bit of time pressure1 happy WOYWW. , love n hugs Cindy @8 xx
I'm late making my visits today...it's been a crazily busy day with sewing today and I still have work lined up for the morning.
How lovely to enjoy catchups with family and friends Jan....it's what life should be filled with. Love the fabrics...esp the sheepy one.
Hugs,

Oh Yes you must take photos! Love that doggy FABric! I see stuff like this, and I buy it but never make anything as I'm sure I will spoi it! Stay safe and cool! Keep on sewing!! Happy WOYWW!? ((Lyn))#17
I’m sure you’re having a fab time with Lyn and Brian, not envious at all!! Glad you had a fab weekend, it was all a whirl really wasn’t it, turns out Thursday and Friday were the quiet days!!!😛 great fabrics, it’ll be interesting to see about the sheep, it’s very cute, so probably will appeal. Meanwhile, I’m flashing my scrabble type glasses holder like a good ‘un!!
Oh my life I am sooooooo late sitting down at my PC to comment this week - so sorry no idea where the week went but I did get a craft delivery from Kraft Crazy on Thursday so that might account for some of it.
Super that you got to meet up with Julia and family this week and Lynne next. I have a friend popping round now so the WOYWW comments will have to wait AGAIN... Love the bunting nice to have enough seaside fabric for it. Great fabric delivery too.

I love the bunting. Every time I see you making one I say "I should make one for Jasper!" and then I don't. I guess I really don't know how, but if I'm going to I should do it fairly soon. Any links that would be good for me? I love the doggie fabric, so cute! You seem to be having a lovely summer so far! Enjoy the rest of your week, Lindart #20
Dear Jan!
This is the best time with friends - when it's so great, that taking photos is forgotten!
Nice bunting!
Lovely fabrics.
Eva from Austria
Been AGES since I've been to any sort of party. And with a WOYWW mate too! How lovely for you all. I prefer the dogs to the sheep in this case, but whatever, you will turn both into fabulous fundraising I'm sure. Hope the Jan Cave stays cool!
Happy WOYWW - late AGAIN!
