Je vous l'avais promis hier....un nouveau message aujourd'hui =)
Avant de dévoiler le cadeau reçu du Brésil, je vous montre une des broderies faites avant de partir.
Les aiguilles n'ont pas tout de suite été en vacances....
Lors de l'échange d'été sur le blog des fans de Margaret Sherry, quelqu'un a encore manqué à l'appel et Francesca n'a rien reçu =(
Fort heureusement, la blogosphère est remplie de personnes pleines de bons sentiments et nous avons de suite monté le groupe des brodeuses de secours =)
Du fait Francesca a pu être gâtée elle aussi....
Je faisais partie des petits lutins qui voulaient faire plaisir, et voici le motif que j'ai brodé
Lazy Days de Margaret Sherry
Normalement il y a beaucoup plus de gazon et du ciel aussi, mais le temps me manquait pour la faire entièrement.... =(
Il me restait du tissu que Nia m'avait envoyé pour mon anniversaire, tissu avec lequel j'ai fait mon étui à lunettes pour le chat d'été
Je le trouvais parfaitement adapté pour ce motif
J'ai fait un petit sac à babioles pour Francesca, qui en a été très contente (tout comme elle a été très contente de tous les petits paquets qu'elle a reçu =D)
Je trouve ça vraiment incorrect de s'inscrire à un échange, de recevoir quelque chose de son partenaire et de rien envoyer en retour comme convenu, de ne pas même remercier !!!
Mais bon, le principal c'est que tout le monde ait reçu son cadeau =D
Un échange d'hiver est prévu, il va falloir y réfléchir déjà...
A très vite pour la suite....
Hello the World =)
Here I am today, as promised, to show you what I made before leaving
Or at least one of the things I made before leaving =)
I know, I have to show you what I received from Brazil ... but...a little bit more of suspense =)
During the Summer exchange on Margaret Sherry lovers blog, somebody, once again missed to respect the 'contract' and Francesca didn't receive anything =(
Fortunately, blogosphere is full of persons with true good feelings and immediately some pixies put their boots on =D
I was part of the pixies...
I chose the design Lazy Days
Truly Summer no ? =)
Originally, there is more grass around the chair, and a bit of sky and sun, but I didn't have time to stitch the whole design :-/
I used the fabric Nia sent me for my Birthday, the same as I used for my sun glasses case, with the Summer cat...and decided to make a little bag
We always need little bags don't we ?
I learnt later that Francesca didn't receive only one bag, hehehehe taht's why I'm saying that =)
She was very happy with my gift and that's super that I was able to send smile and friendship to Italy , after this missed exchange !
I truly find it unfair to sign for an exchange, do not even thank your partner for what you received and to not send something in return !
Anyway, Francesca was happy, that's the most important thing =)
A winter exchange is planned, I have to think about this ....
Coming soon for other adventures
Happy stitching

I will never understand how people can be so hurtful - I am so happy to hear however that you are a sweet angel and a good friend and rushed in to save a bad exchange - your little stitch is very cute and your right everyone does need more bags - especially ones like this made with love
RépondreSupprimerhooooo thank you so much for your kind comment =)
SupprimerI love when people are happy
it seems that people are really hurtful indeed... =(
but fortunately there are more kind and lovely friends in the blogosphere than hurtful one =D
xxxx
I just finished catching up on my blog reading and here is a new post already :D heheheh
RépondreSupprimerArchie looks adorable! Love him =) I think I've never stitched any Archie's design... I need to change that :p heheheh
So nice to see that fabric into good use ;) heheheh
Ohhh I sent another string bag too =) but you're right, bags are always useful! :D I agree!!
hehehehe
Supprimerit was my turn the other day when I saw you almost posted everyday while I was away =)
it's my first Archie bear ! I wanted to change a bit from mice...
and indeed the fabric was perfect, thanks to you =)
I still have a little piece to use...
when I saw your chubby cat bag I understood Francesca would have received at least 2 bags =)
but I'm sure she was very happy
can't wait to see the other pixies gifts
big hugs

grazie mille Giovanna =D
SupprimerYour comment touches my heart
I don't like to know that people I love are sad....and I don't like when it's unfair

Hi Valerie,
RépondreSupprimerI agree, you shouldn't sign up for an exchange and not send anything, that's just awful! Good that there were others including yourself to step in and make things right :-) That's a lovely bag, gorgeous fabric and a very nice Margaret Sherry design. You never can have too many bags, that's very true :-)
love Lori xxx
Many thanks Lorie =)
SupprimerI'm doing another bag but of a different kind, hehehehe, coming soon with this
I didn't have time to stitch a lot those last 5 days, nor to blog...but now it's OK =)
big hugs
xxxxx
I love your little bag! I've seen exchanges on Sprite Stitch that go awry but thank goodness for the other pixies that jump in and make sure everyone gets something! I give the non-senders the benefit of doubt "maybe something came up suddenly" but I think they should still let the exchange leader know. :)
RépondreSupprimerThank you Rosey =)
Supprimerit's always fun to receive something done by a friend, but it's also a great pleasure to stitch for a friend =)
I love the idea
Of course there's the benefit of doubt, even if a little mail or just some words would have been appreciated
We really hope nothing too important or bad arrived in our friend's life :-/
xxxxxx
You really are to sweet!!
RépondreSupprimerYes that's not far that that happens
But you really really made a wonderfull gift
Love you stitchy!!
Many thanks Annette :)

SupprimerAwww...what a sweet design!! Your little bag turned out so well, Valerie. That was so kind and thoughtful of you to stitch it for Francesca :)
RépondreSupprimerThank you Carol =)
SupprimerI wanted to change a little for the finish but it was just before leaving for vacations and didn't find the time to do something else
but it was a pretty bag =D
And Francesca loved it, that so great
I have to find an idea for the Xmas exchange right now, hehehehe
big hugs

RépondreSupprimerI've also send a few things to Francesca, but i didn't had time to stitch anything...i've sent just accessories and a few more things. She didn't told me anything, but i hope she liked it.:)
And again...great job!! :)
