Poupées Chinoises

Je devais venir plus tôt , mais le weekend a été (super agréablement) chargé, au moins le samedi, et puis ...haaaa nous voilà déjà en octobre !!
Le temps passe trop vite !
Le soleil est encore un peu avec nous et nous avons de belles journées d'automne....
même si les projets de croix font penser que Noël sera très vite là et qu'il faut se préparer pour être dans les temps =D

Tout d'abord, un cadeau, hé oui, encore =D
J'ai reçu hier une enveloppe...d'Italie !!!
Une surprise totale , et c'est Giovanna qui m'a fait plaisir  =D
Giovanna s'est rendue à un salon elle aussi,  et elle a pensé à moi là bas....


Elle m'a envoyé des cartes postales de dessins de Laura, de Passione Ricamo (l'instigatrice de notre SAL mystère =D) , une photo avec un très gentil mot de l'endroit où se déroulait le salon, des grilles sous forme de cartes de Renato Parolin et un très joli dé à coudre en bois =D
J'ai encore été gâtée !!
Un énorme merci Giovanna ♥

Parlons petite croix maintenant
J'avais encore en réserve ce que j'avais fait pour l'anniversaire de Rita avant de partir en vacances.
Rita est une grande fan des Kokeshi, Kimmidoll et autres poupées japonaises ou chinoises alors j'ai choisi de lui en broder 3 =D


J'avoue que quand je les ai commencée je ne pensais pas qu'elles seraient si grandes =)
Moi qui voulais faire un petit coussin avec !
C'était chose impossible
J'ai pris l'option trousse....
Ma toute première fermeture éclair !!!! =D
J'ai un peu fait n'importe quoi au début mais quand on a compris le truc, ça va tout seul !
Je l'ai doublée et j'ai mis de la ouatine entre les 2 comme ça elle se tenait mieux et était beaucoup plus agréable molletonnée =D
Et puis j'ai ajouté un petit  porte clefs Kokeshi


Rita a beaucoup, très beaucoup, vraiment très beaucoup aimé mon cadeau d'anniversaire ( d'après le mail qu'elle m'a fait =D) et je suis très contente de lui avoir envoyé un peu de sourire et d'amitié , car elle a perdu son grand père le jour même de son anniversaire =(

Je ne suis pas en avance encore dans mes croix, j'ai pris du retard il y a quelques semaines et il s'en est accumulé encore plus !
La 4ème partie de la SAL mystère est arrivée et je n'ai même pas fait la troisième !!!
Mais Winnie est vraiment bientôt terminé  alors je vais pouvoir récupérer tout ce retard, du moins j'espère

A très vite
xxxx


Hello my sweet friends,

I was supposed to come here earlier, but the weekend was full of activities with the family...and ...
ho my ! we're already in October !
Sun is staying with us for a while, and we have nice Autumn days...even if the needles are already singing Xmas !
We will soon be in December and I have to be ready

First I wanted to show you what I received yesterday from Giovanna =D
This little sweetheart form Italy went to an exhibition too and had a kind thinking for me...and she sent me gifts =D
Postcards from Laura, Passione Ricamo (the designer of our Mystery SAL) , cute charts from Renato Parolin and a super cute thimble =D
Can you believe this my first one.... !!
Thank you so much sweet Giovanna  ♥
I'm so happy with what I received. you're too kind =)

Then are some stitches =D
This is what I made for Rita. It was a birthday beginning of September, and I made her this 'little' pouch before leaving (indeed, I have been very busy before leaving =D)
Rita is a Kokeshi lover so I stitched 3 for her 
When I began stitching, I really thought these girls would be smaller...
I wanted to make a cushion first, but there were too big, so I decided to make a pouch =)


It's my first zip =D
Really, first time I make a pouch, first time I sew a zip 
I made twice a mistake (the same) but finally I succeeded and now I know how to sew zips, hehehehe
I'll make other pouches for sure !
In regards with the mail I received from Rita after she opened my parcel...I can say that she really loved my gift =D
I'm so happy to have send smile, friendship, love... to my sweet friend who was really sad at that period 

So now, let's go and finish Winnie the Pooh ! 
I think that for the end of this week it will be OK 
I received part 4 of the mystery SAL but haven't started part 3 yet =(
late, late, late...definitely late =D

See you soon around here
xxxx

  4. Hi
    I am very very happy that my envelope arrived and that you liked it.
    I'm very glad :)

    Wow compliments
    You made a beautiful little bag.
    You have golden hands (this is a typical Italian expression)and create precious things.
    Big hugs Giovanna :))

      What a super surprise you made me
      I was so happy. Hubby said it was the first time something was arriving from Italy, I immediately went on your blog and show him the pictures you made at the exhibition
      here are his words 'not only she is lovely inside to have sent you gifts, but she also is a very lovely girl'=D
      hehehehe
      thanks for your kind words
      in France we way 'avoir des doigts de fée', to have fairy fingers =D

  5. Wow and double wow!! I love your pouch & the cute little girls. I can imagine that Rita was over the moon when she received it!! Well done on making a pouch. Zips are my nemesis - I never seem to get them sewed in right so now I avoid them!!
    Your gift from Giovanna is lovely - what a lovely surprise. Love the thimble :)
    Hugs xx

    1. Thank you so much Noni =)
      Indeed it has been a lovely surprise from Giovanna, I love the thimble too =D
      So lovely parcel...
      For the zip ! Ho my ! it took me 3 hours to succeed =D
      First time I put it upside down, then I sewed with the inside fabric in the wrong way... !!
      But finally I succeeded...
      I'm sure next time I try to sew a zip I'll make another mistake hehehehe =D
      Big big hugs

  6. "Poupées" :) looks like a cute word! heheheh
    Rita is the one in the middle (she was the birthday girl), I'm on the right (just because the hair is blue! hahaha) and you are on the left :D I'm seeing us the three of us in your stitching :D hehehhee I probably took some crazy pills this morning, nothing to worry ;) LOL!!!!!
    I've seen it already but it's never to much to say how cute your stitching looks!! And you did great with your finish!! :D I've never tried to sew a zip.. I'm too scared!! hahahahah Well done sweetie :D
    The thimble is so sweet!!! =) lovely gifts!! :D

    1. I'm soooooooooooo happy you loved it =)
      it's really my first pouch and first zip =)
      you'll see, it's very easy to sew
      next time I have to sew it better because inside it's not sewed between the 2 pieces of fabrics...
      but it works, it's the most important thing =)
      I really hope too that one day we will be able to be those 3 dolls together =D
      In fact, the world is small =)
