I'm happy !
I was afraid that my secret parcel was lost somewhere in the cold and snow, but no =D
It arrived safe, today....
Where ? Portugal :)
Everybody knows Nia's avatar ...
I just decided to stitch it =D
Rui, really....sorry for the copyright ! But it was for a good cause..... =D
From the design to my stitching ....
I decided to make a needlebook, in felt
I added a ribbon and heart buttons, everything in the same colours as Little Nia :)
I chose DMC threads (I stayed one hour in the shop, when the woman said 'please, switch off the light when leaving I realised it was time to go, hehehehe) and I'm satisfied with the result =D
I had a personal coach (love you Cucki ♥) who encouraged me , because I must admit it's the first time I create something !!!
I was very anxious ! To what was it going to look like !!!
Except from the card for the Xmas exchange I never made anything in felt or other =D
I made a wish....it came true ....
My little Nia brought smile , love, friendship and happiness in Portugal today....♥
Beginning of the week I made Noni smiled in Australia, today it's Nia...I'm blessed =D
Even if it's very cold outside, inside our homes and hearts it's warm , and that's precious ♥
I'm very happy that Nia enjoyed my gift !
As she said on her blog, it has not been long since we 'met', but Nia and some other girls are now part of my life and I treasure this friendship so much ♥
I'm like that :)
I'm happy when people I love are happy
Many thanks to everyone coming here , writing something, sending me mails, accepted me as a friend ♥
I love you all =D
Big big hugs from Happy Valérie

I forgot to precise that I used the piece of blue fabric which was in the Xmas stocking =D
RépondreSupprimerWow! Wow! Wow! I am smiling so much at what you have made for Nia! How clever to design and stitch "Little Nia". Turning it into a needle case is a great idea as well! I can well imagine that a cold day in Portugal all of a sudden got nice and toasty warm from the ray of sunshine that was delivered in the mail. Well done :o)
RépondreSupprimerYou have definitely left smiles on both sides of the world now - I am still smiling about my snow globe!
I am constantly amazed at how special bloggers are! While we haven't met in person we still connect in a wonderful way and I for one am really pleased to be your friend :o)
Take care, stay warm!
Hugs xx

SupprimerI'm so happy !
when I see all the lovely things everybody makes and how everybody is handy , and as I always think I'm not... having created something that generates so many lovely comments melts my heart :)
I was not sure of the result ! And I thought somebody already stitched a Little Nia (it's a copyright now, Little Nia =D) ...
I was not expecting such a result =D
Nia is very happy !
That's so great
I hope thins link around the world will last for long
