C'est la St Valentin ...

...Ou on est juste le 14 février , au choix =D
Tout de même, Cupidon est passé et a apporté un très joli vase et des frésias qui sentent très bon, et qui mettent une touche de printemps dans cette journée grise !
Cupidon Bordelais a apporté le vase et les fleurs, Cupidon d'Afrique du Sud a envoyé une très chouette carte faite main, avec un magnifique poème à l'intérieur ...qu’égoïstement je garde pour moi =D
Merci Cucki  ♥



St Valentine ... or just February the 14th...as you like it =D
Anyway, Cupid came and left a gorgeous  vase with smelling freesias (one of my favourite flower !) 
A touch of Spring it this rainy day ! 
'Hubby Cupid' brought flowers ....'Cucki Cupid' brought sun from South Africa =D
I received this morning a lovely handmade card, with an absolutely superb poem, that I selfishly keep for myself =D
Emotions again after the one of last week......!
Thanks Cucki 

J'ai brodé aussi !
Pour changer un peu de Winnie....un tout petit dessin de Margaret Sherry, Union Jack Snail
Et comme plus rien ne m'arrête maintenant, j'ai décidé de faire un petit coussin =D
Mon 1er !!
Je suis contente du résultat , même si je dois encore faire des progrès dans les découpes, les tailles, et la couture !
A bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures.....

Union Jack Snail

I also stitched a little yesterday....
To change a bit from Winnie, I made this Union Jack Snail from Margaret Sherry
Lovely...
And as nothing can stop me now, I decided to make a small cushion =D
My first !!
I still have progress to make with the sizes and sewing but really, I'm satisfied with the result for my first Cushion =D
I used one the charm which was in the Xmas stocking  =D
Happy Valentine
Big hugs 
xxxx

      The book is from Helen Philipps.
      I bought it on Amazon. It exists in English too, it's 'Simple Sewn Gifts', I loved the idea of 'simple' =D
      I found how to make the needles book for Nia in it and there's a rabbit too, I think it's the one Olli made for Kira's birthday...
      It's a good book
      Maybe tomorrow I'll find some great things in England =D
