Un porte clefs et un joli cadeau

33 lecteurs enregistrés à ce jour =)
Je suis bien heureuse de voir l’essor que prend doucement mon blog et je suis toujours aussi contente de vous faire partager mes aventures autant en point de croix qu'en balades  =)
Merci à toi cher lecteur de passer quelques minutes par ici...
Avec ce weekend Londonien pas trop eu le temps de faire des petites croix  =(
Juste un petit porte clefs hippopotame pour mon homme (nous avons un gentil délire tous les 2 avec un hippopotame) que je trouve assez réussi, même si c'était un peu galère de le fermer !






Et il y a un petit mois, sur le groupe de Facebook, une des croixpinettes a eu un bébé, et nous avons décidé en secret de lui confectionner un petit quelque chose =)
12 d'entre nous ont brodé un petit personnage Winnie, moi j'ai choisi Tigrou et une de nous a récupéré les 12 broderies, a 'joué' les couturières pour en faire une très jolie couverture =)
Bravo Audrey
La maman a été très heureuse de ce cadeau fait main et avec cœur.
Encore un projet secret de révélé =)
Je suis maintenant sur une toute petite carte d'anniversaire, et j'ai une commande ! =)
Le tailleur de Gloucester de Beatrix Potter =)
A bientôt



Hi girls =)
33 friends here today ! wooo ! I'm happy, my blog is growing slowly but I love that , and I'm always very happy to share with you my stitching adventures and my 'travels'  =)
Thank you for coming around here and take the time to read my posts. It always makes me happy =)
With the Jubilee and our going to London, I got a bit tired and had lot's of things to do at  home so I didn't stitch much =(
But hubby wanted a little something (just like Mum some weeks ago I think he was a bit jealous =) and poor guy, he is always helping me so much...I had to stitch him something) 
He asked for a key chain !
And as we have together a 'private joke' with a hippopotamus ... I made him a hippopotamus key chain =)
It was a bit difficult to close it but finally it's a cute little thing =) 
And hubby loves it, that's the most important thing !

Then...I can reveal a secret project again =)
One of our friends from the Facebook group had a baby one month ago
12 of us decided some weeks before to stitch a little something related to Winnie the Pooh (that she loves very much)  , I chose Tiger ... and one of the girls gathered all the stitchings and made a blanket for the baby =)
Bravo Audrey for the sewing =)
Our friend received the blanket yesterday and was very very happy with this handmade gift in which we all put lot's of love.

I'm now preparing a little birthday card for next week...and I have an order
I have to stitch The Taylor of Gloucester by Beatrix Potter =) 
This is a cute design indeed that I'll have pleasure to stitch
I have the chart, it's of a poor quality but I'll do my best.

happy stitching everybody
See you soon
xxxx

    1. Thanks a lot Lesley =)
      in fact, Hubby has nothing against the fact that I stitch, on the contrary, he loves what I do, but there are already 4 stitchings framed and hanged in the house and he said a day 'that's enough no' =)
      hehehehe, that's why I must always search for new ideas of finishing...
      and I often find my ideas here on the blogosphere =)
      happy stitching sweetie

  3. Oh Valérie, they are both so adorable. I bet your hubby is over the moon with the key ring. And the blanket is just so special. Your friend will be very happy to have such a wonderful gift from you all. Of course I am biased as I adore Pooh, Tigger especially ;0). Hugs xx

      Really, Tiger is your favourite character in Pooh ? He is mine too =)
      In French he has a so funny voice and he is so funny !!
      Hubby was very happy
      He said I must do some more and sell them on the market at Xmas =)
      He was proud yesterday to say 'my wife did it' as a colleague asked him 'where did you get this, it's so cool' =)

  4. How sweet of you and your online friends to create such a special baby blanket--everyone loves Winnie the Pooh!! Your little Tigger contribution is adorable :)

    That is so sweet of you to stitch a little something for your husband--and even sweeter that he wanted you to!! I look forward to seeing your little BP piece--her drawings are so irresistible...

    Hope you are all rested up from your big weekend--have a lovely day in France :)

      Indeed, stitching girls are very kind , and I'm very happy to belong to this 'community' =)
      Hubby is always surprised by backstitching, he says it gives life to the character and he likes it.
      He is really comprehensive and respectful of my hobby =)
      I want to stitch BP design on lilac linen
      I'm impatient to see it too in fact =)
      It's for the daughter of one my best friends here , she is only 17 but she loves what I do and wants to learn during the school holidays =)
      I think we are going to do craft workshops during July =)
      let's go ironing now ! it will give some heat in the house, the weather is again very bad =(
      big big hugs

    1. Thank you sweetie =)
      Indeed, 12 persons stitching for the same goal was very interesting
      And the result is cute, Pauline's Mum really loved the blanket and we were happier then
      We are doing another exchange with the group, maybe it can give you an idea for next time on MS blog, we know to who we send but we don't know from who we're going to receive, it's a surprise :)
      hehehe, another way to exchange
      have a wonderful weekend
      big hugs
