Pourtant avec ce magnifique temps dont nous bénéficions encore j'en profite pour bien progresser !!
Mais j'ai quand même 2 petits quelque choses à poster aujourd'hui =)
Tout d'abord un anniversaire...une carte...
En changeant un peu les couleurs du cerf volant (elles étaient normalement aux couleurs du drapeau anglais, mais pour une petite fille de 11 ans je trouvais que ça ne le faisait pas) , j'ai fait la petite souris de Margaret Sherry , le kit offert avec le n°163 de Cross Stitch Crazy.
Et puis souvenez vous, le jubilé à Londres il y a 15 jours =)
Pendant que nous patientions sous la pluie et dans le froid nous nous sommes fait des amis d'un jour, des londoniens, qui n'ont pas pu prendre une seule photo de la parade....
Nous avions échangé nos cartes de visite et leur avons envoyé toutes nos photos...et ils nous ont eux tout gentiment envoyé 2 journaux avec des photos incroyables parus le lendemain, ainsi que le CD du concert de Paul Mc Cartney du lundi soir à Buckingham !
N'est ce pas super gentil ??!!
Un merci...une carte
Je me suis empressée de leur faire une carte de remerciement
J'ai trouvé dans le n°185 de TWOCS une petite Reine toute mimi qui fait parfaitement l'affaire pour ce merci =)
Je remarque juste à la photo un trait de pliure de la toile mal repassée :-/
(Audrey...si tu passes par ici, ça va te rappeler quelque chose =D)
Au final...une belle journée non ? =)
A birthday, a thank you... 2 cards =)
Indeed ! I can't show my WIP of Somebunny, but I can tell you that with the wonderful weather we have I'm well progressing !! (We have a wonderful grey June sky, never seen before !!!)
But anyway, I can show you the 2 cards I made.
The first is for a friend's daughter, she will be 11 this week and I stitched her the flying kite mouse from Margaret Sherry
I just changed a bit the colours of the kite, I know her enough to say that the Union Jack colours wouldn't have pleased her =)
The second one is a thank you card
Remember , London, The Jubilee....We made 'friends of a day' while patiently waiting 4 hours in the cold and rain !
They are from London, and as they didn't take pictures of the pageant , we exchanged our addresses at the end and we sent them our pictures =)
They were very happy
Today, I received something they said they would send me. And they sent us 2 newspapers issued the day of the pageant and the day after , as well as a CD of Paul Mc Cartney concert at Buckingham on the Monday following the pageant !
Isn't it so kind ??!!!
I immediately decided to stitch them a thank you card, and I found in my TWOCS #183 a cute Queen that would be perfect for that card =)
And I find her perfect =)
So even if sun is not here...isn't it a good day anyway ? =)

These are delightful!!

Such adorable cards, Valerie! I think that is wonderful how a friendship formed while waiting for the Jubilee festivities to begin :)
RépondreSupprimerThank you Carol =)
SupprimerI send my card to the Jubilee friends, they will have it beginning of next week
I didn't send them any mail to thanks them, they will think I'm impolite =)
But I wanted them to have the surprise of the card =)
On that day of the Jubilee, with hubby we were telling lot's of jokes and we had a joke about Prince Charles ears...I know, it's not kind =)
but the woman was speaking French very well and she laughed loudly ... that's how everything started =)
A good memory among the others =)

Oh, they were very kind as you are, dear! I know they're gonna love the card with funny Queen! I really believe that we receive whatever we give to others. So, as you are this special person, it's natural to find another special person! lol I love the cards, it was a wonderful day, even without sun! Congrats!

RépondreSupprimerOh! such a fun souvenir to keep from the Jubilee weekend :D
That design is so perfect for the occasion! :D heheheh I know those designs, usually they publish little fairies, right? They are so cute =) It was a great idea to make a Queen :D Adorable card sweetie!!
I have a great mind ;) Always making so many pretty things :) You're an inspiration!!

Thanks a lot sweetie
SupprimerI used the Anchor threads that were supplied to stitch the mouse, but used DMC one for the kite, but in fact we can't see the difference...
Odile (it's the name of my friend younger daughter) will have it today
She is 11 today, and she loooooves receiving mails and collects stamps
So I sent my card even if they live at only 5km from here and that we are going to have a drink together tonight =)
The Beatrix Potter order is for her sister (Marie will be 17 beginning of July)
Thanks a lot for your kind words
An inspiration you said...woooo I'm touched, really =)
