France 1 - 1 Italie

Égalité un point partout =D
Il y a quelques temps je faisais partir pour l'Italie un petit quelque chose pour Giovanna , et le même jour elle aussi m'envoyait un paquet !!
Cyber connexion ou je ne sais quoi, toujours est il que j'ai reçu quelque chose de vraiment superbe et je lui dis encore un énorme merci =D

Tout d'abord le motif que j'ai brodé pour elle...
Sorti tout droit d'un ancien numéro de Quick & Easy, j'avais choisi (ou plutôt Super Moitié avait choisi...) ce petit ourson sortant d'un cadeau =D


Face au manque de temps courant pendant cette période de Noël ... je n'ai pas pu fabriquer la chaussette sur laquelle il a été collé, et je l'ai achetée toute faite
Honte sur moi, mais cela dit le rendu était fort joli =)
Giovanna a beaucoup aimé, et mon petit ourson a permis de lui  apporter un peu de d'amitié et un large sourire car ces temps ci tout ne va malheureusement pas bien pour elle....


En retour et sans préméditation , Giovanna m'a offert ce magnifique tri-fils en forme d'écureuil et une non moins superbe paire de ciseaux à broder !
Avec en plus  une très jolie carte qu'elle a brodé elle même....
Mon bahut était déjà aux couleurs du monde, je vais rajouter l'Italie
Un enorme grazie per tutti questi meravigliosi doni che ho ricevuto Giovanna =D

Je vais pouvoir les utiliser pour cette broderie sur laquelle je lorgnais depuis des lustres et que j'ai finalement décidé de m'offrir , Clair de Lune par Nimue, d'après un dessin de Monge.
On aime beaucoup les dessins de Monge dans cette maison =)
Encore un objectif pour 2013....
Ce qui est marrant c'est que Giovanna a également cette broderie dans sa liste pour l'an prochain, nous allons pouvoir faire une mini SAL =D
J'ai d'autres croix à dévoiler , mais tout n'est malheureusement pas arrivé à destination  =(
encore un peu de patience....
La course vers Noël est bien commencée ! 
Un p'ti peu en retard Valérie =D
A très vite

France - Italy : Deuce =D
Some days ago I posted a parcel to Italy, a little something I made for Giovanna, without knowing that almost the very same day, she was sending something to me too =D
Cyber connection or don't know what it was, but the fact is that I received real wonderful gifts from her !!
So first the stitching that Super Half chose and that I made =D
A little teddy bear coming out of a Xmas parcel, that we found in an old issue of Quick & Easy.
As time is always missing in this period (by the way, I'm so sorry I hadn't enough time to stitch or send something to everyone I wanted to... I'll have other opportunities, for sure) then as I was saying, due to a lack of time I didn't sew the stocking but buy it...
Shame on me :-/
But it was finally a pretty little thing, which allowed me to send love, friendship and smile to Giovanna who is now having hard days.


And here is what I received from Giovanna !!!
Ho my ! I'm really blessed ....
Not only she stitched me this little cute panda , but she also offered me this wonderful threads holder in a squirrel shape, and these lovely scissors ! 
Couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the little parcel she had made 
These are the kind of things I never saw before 'in real' because I can't find such supplies here except on the internet !
Believe me, Giovanna made my day and once again I had a happy dance alone =D


Un enorme grazie per tutti questi meravigliosi doni che ho ricevuto Giovanna
It will be perfect to use with this design with which I felt in love long ago and that I finally decided to order, Clair de Lune by Nimue =)
I will feel in anoher time
I always loved this design, and when I saw it again...guess where...on Giovanna's blog ... I decided to order it 
It's now another goal for 2013, we will do a mini SAL =D
My cupboard was already covered with Xmas greetings from the World, I'll now add Italy 


Rush to Xmas has definitely started and I'm late on many things !
I'll have soon other stitchings to show you , but the last 2 one I sent haven't reached their recipients yet
I hope they will arrive on time !!!
We also made some crafting here !
Then in other words : I come back very soon =D
Enjoy this last week to Xmas

      J'ai vraiment été gâtée !!! J'ai vraiment l’impression que ces objets viennent d'une autre époque
      J'ai très hâte de commencer Clair de Lune ! Mon homme est un fan depuis toujours des dessins de Monge et nous sommes tous les 2 de grands admirateurs de tout ce qui touche au petit peuple =D
      Je vais l'éclater
      J'ai reçu la toile de lin hier en plus...mais haaaaaa d'abord finir noël =D

      I'm not looking hard enough or not in the right places... but I'm sure in fact it's only because France hasn't such great things =)
