Bonjour (tout) le Monde
C'est vraiment les vacances !
Et en plus, le soleil est encore avec nous !
Tout d'abord la bonne nouvelle du jour, enfin une des bonnes nouvelles =)
Mes places pour le salon des arts créatifs à Bluewater, celles gagnées sur Facebook grâce à Craftseller sont arrivées....
Woooooooooooooo =D
Trop contente encore d'avoir gagné !
Il ne reste plus qu'à réserver le tunnel pour le weekend prochain =)
Seconde bonne nouvelle...un de mes colis surprise parti il y a maintenant presque 3 semaines pour l'Afrique du Sud , est arrivé, et je peux vous montrer une des dernières créations réalisées....
C'était pour l'anniversaire de Cucki samedi dernier =)
Il est arrivé presque dans les temps, et Cucki a beaucoup aimé, ce qui moi me rend très heureuse =D
C'est une grille que j'avais dans un ancien numéro de Cross Stitcher (le n°203)
Et comme Cucki aime beaucoup les livrets à aiguilles....j'ai choisi de lui en faire un =D
Tout est parti du tissu que j'avais et que je voulais utiliser pour elle, et cette broderie s'est imposée comme une évidence =)
J'ai encore un colis secret sur la route....Mais impossible de vous révéler quoique ce soit avant une petite quinzaine de jours =D
Je reviendrai avant par ici biensur, et en attendant bon week end (à tout) le monde....

Hi the World =D
We are now on holidays, everybody has come back now and children will return to school next week but with Super Hubby we are on holidays for 2 weeks =D
It's great, and the sun has decided to stay with us for the moment so it's even greater =D
2 good news today !
First I received my tickets for the craft show near London, the tickets I won thanks to Craftseller magazine on Facebook !
Wooooooooooooo, I'm so happy !!
There's an exhibition of films costumes too the very same day, I think we will have a great day and that I'll have pictures to show you !
Then, second good news...
My secret parcel which left about 3 weeks ago , finally arrived in South Africa.....and reached a very happy Cucki =D
I had a piece of fabric I wanted to use for her, and this design appeared as 'obvious' =D
I had it in a Cross Stitcher issue (#203)
The colours seemed perfect to me to suit with the fabric
As Cucki loves needles book, I wanted to make her one....
So here is the needle book made for our sweet Cucki, she loves it (very much =D) so it's a real reward to me
I still have a secret project (hehehehe, you know me by now !) but I won't be able to reveal anyhtnig within the 2 weeks that are coming....
I'll come here before of course
Meanwhile, I wish you all a great weekend and would like to thank you for your visit here....
