De retour =D

J'avoue j'ai fait une petite pause...
Un peu de 'vacances' , un long weekend chez une amie dans l'Est ...♥♥
ça fait beaucoup de bien !
J'ai même réussi à l'initier au point de croix =D
Il faut démarrer doucement mais je suis certaines que de jolies créations sont à venir
Moi j'ai laissé un peu tomber mes aiguilles , mais j'ai repris avec Chorus Line de Valérie Pfeiffer
Je ne vais en faire que 3 au lieu des 6 initialement sur le diagramme
C'est pour belle maman =D
Surement un petit coussin, ou si j'ai une autre idée d'ici là....
Le flash a mangé les couleurs mais normalement la toile est bleu ciel !


De nouveaux tissus et un nouveau livre, de nouveaux projets aussi (encore =D)
Une carte de naissance et un bavoir, et puis une nouvelle inscription sur le blog des fans de  Margaret Sherry...l'échange d'été...! L'échange de printemps a placé la barre très haute =D
Il va falloir se remuer les méninges !
A bientôt pour la suite de mes aventures =D


Hi girls
I must admit, I made a break ... Spent time with friends I only see once a year and we had a wonderful moment  ♥♥
I even succeeded to initiate one of my friends to cross stitch =D
Now she enjoys very much being in her sofa, listening good music and stitching =D
Sure she will soon make great things
My needles were on holidays too :)
But yesterday I started chorus line from Valérie Pfeiffer. I will only make 3 of the chickadees instead of the 6 initially on the chart
The colours are bad, the fabric is pale blue in fact !
It's for Hubby's Mum =D
I think I'll finish it into a cushion or if I have another idea since then....
Last week, being at the 'big town', I bought a new book and some pieces of fabric
I have new goals (yes..again ! :D)
One week of holidays and my needles are ready for new adventures =D
There will be a Summer exchange on Margaret Sherry lovers blog
Spring exchange has been a real success and great things have been made... I'll have to think hard ! =D
Happy stitching
big hugs

    1. Many thanks my sweet Petite Anne =D
      Those birds are really special, it seems there are going to move or that we are going to hear them chirping =D
      Hubby's mum loves birds of all kind, she gives them food outside, and hubby's dad has made many shelters for them in the garden...
      it's a pleasure to stitch those chickadees
      happy stitching to you
      big hugs

    1. Thank you Lesley =D
      I didn't know about about these chickadees before I went to the craft show !
      There were some framed and hanged and I really wanted to stitch some
      The designs are very realistic !
      And hubby's mum is found of birds, but 'sky birds', not birds you put in a cage
      I think she will enjoy =D
      big hugs

  3. Oh, I just love those little Valerie Pfeiffer Birds... I've stitched a few myself and love how realistic they look :) I'm sure your husband's mom will love it!

    Glad you could convert someone else to our stitching addiction! Sounds like you had a really enjoyable visit with your friends, Valerie :)

    1. Thanks a lot Carol =D
      Indeed those birds are very realistic ! it seems they are going to chirp in the fabric :)
      Hubby's mum is found of birds and dad even made lot's of shelters for them in the garden
      she loves the blue colour too, that's why I chose this fabric, and I also found a Liberty fabric which will perfectly match =D
      I had a great time with my friends but I really missed my stitches =D
      big hugs sweetie

  4. Good to hear you had a nice break, and well done on your conversion!
    I adore Valerie Pfeiffer's artwork - I have a couple of her prints on my walls (I had more but my ex-husband got 1/2 of them in our divorce). I also have a couple of the kits that one day I must stitch!
    Your little chickadee is so cute - they will look lovely as a cushion ;0)

    1. Thank you Noni :)
      I'm sad to hear about your divorce, but I'm also happy for you because now you have found your perfect half =D
      Indeed we are lucky to have such wonderful hubbies ! Mine is happy that I decided to stitch something for her mother...
      It's the first time I'm stitching something for her in 10 years =D
      She is found of birds (not birds in cage, 'sky birds' as we call them here) and of the blue colour ! Valerie Pfeiffer designs were perfect for her
      I'll score with my mother in law, hehehehehe =D
      Big hugs

    1. Merci Dulcinella =D
      Ces dessins sont vraiment très jolis et on a l'impression que les oiseaux vont se mettre à piailler :)
      j'ai hâte de voir le résultat moi aussi en fait, et je pense que je vais en faire un petit coussin rectangulaire
      Ma belle mère adore les oiseaux du jardin :)
      peut être seront nous partenaires pour l'échange d'été :)
      chaque fois c'est super de participer, tout le monde y met tellement de coeur...
      à bientôt
