Il a beaucoup neigé ce weekend, enfin surtout dimanche, ça n'a pas arrêté de la journée... !
La neige s'est accumulée et on commence à avoir une belle épaisseur ici !
Presque 20 centimètres par endroit quand même =)
Un petit air de maison à la montagne =)
Même les oiseaux et les lapins ne se sont pas trop aventurés....
Que faire alors , quand tout ce qui devait être fait à l’intérieur a été fait ??
Des petites croix évidement =D
J'ai progressé sur Clair de Lune, du vrai pointillisme, des points confettis...mais déjà sans les points arrière le motif se dessine bien et c'est un plaisir à faire...
La photo date de samedi et depuis la feuille qui recouvre le petit lutin garçon s'est bien étoffée =)
C'est définitif, je préfère travailler sur du lin !
Je suis bien contente d'avoir craqué pour cette grille
En parallèle je suis en train de préparer mon échange de Saint Valentin, mais l'heure n'est pas encore aux confidences =D
A bientôt =)

Let it snow, let it snow.....
It started to snow on Monday last week, then it stopped a few days, but during the weekend (and especially Sunday) it didn't stop for the whole day !!!
There are some places around here where we have about 20 centimetres of snow =)
Sun is shinning but we have -5° and they forecast -11° for the end of the week
Cold , beautiful...but only if you don't have to drive =D
Even the birds and the rabbits don't dare to come much...they usually come (especially the rabbits) and eat everything !
Pictures are from Saturday and they don't show how high it is now =)
I'll have to go out and take some more...
So what to do then when it's cold outside ?? =)
(except doing a snowman with the children of the neighbours...what I did hehehehe ... ) to stitch of course !
I don't participate to IHSW but Sunday was as if I do...
A real hermit in my sofa with the stove on =)
I made some progress on Clair de Lune...
Since I took these pictures I progressed a little bit more and the leave around the little boy is well appearing now
Lot's of confetti stitching but I really don't regret this chart , the design is really sweet and it's a pleasure to do it =)
Even without the backstitches it's pretty
I'll be late as my new furnitures for the dinning room arrive tomorrow but anyway... I'm enjoying it
This is different from what I usually do =)
And I have to say that definitely...my favourite fabric is linen
At the same time I'm preparing my Valentine exchange for my French group...
But no picture now hehehehe =)
Just can say it's a Joan Elliott design....
Coming soon =)

Superbe progrès sur Claire de Lune! Ce design est vraiment adorable. La neige fait des ravages, ici c'est le "brin" :)
RépondreSupprimerM'en parle pas
SupprimerLe 'brin' comme tu dis =D
Et après quand ça va fondre ce sera bouillasse et compagnie !
mais en attendant c'est vrai que c'est joli...
Merci pour ton commentaire, je m'éclate avec Clair de Lune...un gros projet que pour moi =D

Wow Valérie,
RépondreSupprimerThose pic's of the snow are so beautifull..
It looks very open and wonderfull where you life!!
Enjoy the snow, with the neighbor kids....
You can build many more snowmans..
Your update is wonderfull
The colors so beautifull.
I have stitched one time on linen, but that was very hard.I couln't move the fabric, that's why i never tryed it again!
Thank you so much Petite Anne =D
SupprimerIn fact we have a big garden indeed, but there is no fence for the moment, we have the project to put one during the Spring
it will seem smaller then. But I must admit we really love being in the campaign ! a wood in front of the house , a field behind (with this awful mess of the farm that will be hidden later by trees =D), rabbits and birds coming, pea cocks...so great !
It's my heaven =D
I'm enjoying Clair de Lune, even if it's brown, brown and ...brown =D
Can't wait to finish it, and it's for ME wooooooo
big hugs sweetie

Such lovely snow photos, Valerie--I love how fresh and clean the world looks after a newly fallen snow!
RépondreSupprimerWe only have an inch here, but it is so, so cold!! I wish I didn't have to leave the house and go to work today :)
Very pretty WIP--I'm looking forward to seeing more of it and also your Valentine's piece... Have a lovely week!
Thanks a lot Carol =)
SupprimerIndeed, snow is very beautiful since you don't have to take the car
And as around our house everything has not been done yet, it's perfect with snow, we can't see the mess =D
I searched in my memory and in fact ...can't remember a time when we had so much snow !!
They forecast 11 degrees below zero for the week end , I'll stay warm and stitch, for sure =)
I love this stitching , and this time it's for me hehehe =)

coucou copine!!!! elle est belle ta maison sous la neige.... enfin c'est beau mais faut pas avoir besoin de la voiture!!!! j'ai pas réussi à publier sur ta précédente présentation mais j'ai trouvé magnifique ces petits dessins japonais vraiment c'est splendide!!!! tu vois en 2013 tu surprends toujours!!!! ton nouveau projet semble très sympa également, toujours beaucoup de goût...
RépondreSupprimerPour ce qui est de la mercerie d'Arras, elle est très sympa comme boutique mais il n'y avait pas celui que je cherche donc il va falloir soit que je change de modèle soit que je trouve un autre moyen pour me le procurer.... bisous ma copine
Blandine
merci ma copine =)
Supprimerc'était pour Christelle les dessins Japonnais et la trousse pour sa plus petite , Odile =)
tout le monde était fin heureux...ça fait plaisir
va faire un tour là : http://www.lepointdecroix.com/Lili-Points_380_755_p-1.html
ce ne sont que les grilles, y'a pas la toile mais on s'en fiche parce que tu l'as, après y'aura que les fils...à 1€ l'écheveau ça revient moins chez quand même !
je m'éclate avec ce dessin de Monge, le diagramme est super bien fait en plus, ça va faire beau dans ma nouvele salle à manger =)
pour une fois je brode pour moi, hihihihi =D
gros bisous ma copine (et si tu préfères les dessins japonnais tu peux jeter un oeil à mon bouquin aussi...)
What beautiful photographs. If you saw what the weather has done in my country. Omar seems to be upset and want to leave everything, really everything. Comes close to houses and everything. We've had waves of 20 meters and winds of 140 km. I think everything else out there is calm and beautiful. Enjoy these as much embroidery work is getting gorgeous.
RépondreSupprimerho my :(
SupprimerI saw some pictures on TV and friends here told me that the weather was awful where you live...
there was lot's of wind / rain and floods too =(
I hope everything is OK for you
big big hugs sweetie and thank you for your comment =)

Oh my God my dear...soooo much snow!! I love snow, but only saw it about 2 or 3 times in my life :(
RépondreSupprimerI guess that if you have to leave the house and drive or walk, so much snow it would be a problem, but if you may stay at home and watch it falling, it must be beautiful:) Here it only snows in the higher places and mountains...it's not too far from here (about 2 and a half hours) but i don't go there for many years.:(
And you took beautiful pictures...great job:)
And your stitches are soooo beautiful! Love the design and the colours...just awesome :) It appears not too easy to stitch, but you will get it done with no problem;)
Oh and i also love linen! :)
kisses my dear and have a great week;)
Thank you very much Rita =)
SupprimerThis night it rained and all the snow almost disappeared !
Now it's mud and rain
It's so cold outside that I stay warm and stitch =D
2h30 driving is not so long...one day you should go back to the mountains =)
big big hugs sweetie
xxx
Do you still have snow??? :)
RépondreSupprimerHere rain stopped! A little break... At least for 4 days :p
I love that photo of the bird's house ;) adorable! And all with snow.. pictures really look amazing :D
You've done a lot on your wip :D Looking good!! Looks like a lot of confetti and hard work but in the end it will be worth ;)
Have you stitched on Lugana or Jobelan? Just Aida and linen, or have you tried more fabrics?
hugs to you!!! :) xoxo
ho no we don't have snow any more....rain rain and only rain =(
Supprimerand wind !!
we have 15° more than last week and it's as if it was colder =(
Coooooome back snow =)
I have to post a new picture of my WIP of Clair de Lune, it progressed a lot !! can't believe it myself hehehe =)
I already stitched on Lugana as you sent me some in the stocking =)
but Jobelan...no...I don't think so :-/
big hugs sweetie and thank you for your kind comment =)
