Bunny Flashback

Ce samedi nous avons eu la grande joie de passer un peu de temps avec Anna
Et ses parents biensur.... =D
Pour l'occasion , je suis allée faire un tour dans ma boite de broderies non terminées ... et je suis tombée sur ces petits lapins ....
Je sais que j'ai acheté ce kit lors d'un voyage en Angleterre à l'époque de la fac (voyage à Ipswich même ) c'est un de mes tous premiers kits d'ailleurs et du coup il me semble que ça remonte quand même à une quinzaine d'années  !!!  (Blandine...tu confirmes ?? =D)


Pauvres petits lapins enfermés dans leur placard !
D'autant plus qu'il ne me restait que le tout petit par terre à faire !
ça ne m'a pas pris longtemps....
Je pensais en faire un petit coussin pour suivre avec la couverture de l'année dernière...mais avec un dessin de salle de bain... le mieux c'était quand même une petite trousse de toilette =D
Hop hop hop , j'ai donc entamé un nouveau corps à corps avec une fermeture éclair et cette fois ci encore c'est moi qui ai gagné =D


Anna était plus intéressée par le papier cadeau , mais sa Maman a beaucoup aimé et ça , ça fait très plaisir (espérons qu'Anna gardera sa trousse longtemps)

A côté de ça, Clair de Lune a bien avancé (n'est ce pas Juju ?? =D) j'ai terminé les 2 personnages et les champignons maintenant j'attaque la lune justement...des photos du WIP une prochaine fois
Et puis deux ou trois autres babioles à vous montrer aussi
Il va falloir que je revienne vite =)

On Saturday, we had a delightful moment with Baby Anna (and her parents of course) who came only for 2 days but finally had to leave earlier because of the snow tempest =(
Anyway, it was a good moment...
My cousin is a bunny lover (do you remember the blanket I made ?) so I had a look in my UFO box knowing that a day, I started bunnies....
A real flashback, as this kit from DMC (Woodland World , Bunnies bath time) is one of the first kits I bought !! And as I know it was during a travel I made to Ipswich with university , it means that I started this stitching about 15 years ago =D
Can you believe this ?!!!



And there was only the little bunny sited on the floor to backstitch !!
It took me about half an hour to finish it !
I first wanted to make a cushion , to suit with the blanket, but with this bathroom scene...I thought a toilet case was better.
So once again, I started a struggle with a zip and once again... I won =D
Baby Anna was more interested by the wrapping paper, but her Mum really loved this pouch saying that she still has the one her grandmother made when she was a baby, so Anna would surely treasure this one too as she herself did . I was so happy



Besides this pouch, I did a great progress on Clair de Lune as the characters and mushrooms are now finished
I'll show you pictures of the WIP later on, as well as one or two little pieces I also made
I'll have to come back soon.....

  4. That is such an adorable and useful gift, Valerie! You did a great job in both the stitching and finishing...

    What fun to have a baby visiting, too. I'm glad you finally finished up that piece after all these years :)

    1. thank you very much Carol =)
      When I bought it (my friend had a look at the pictures we made that day and confirmed it was in 1997 !!) I was far from imagining it would be for my cousin's baby =)
      She was only 15 =)
      We don't see Anna very often so each time we enjoy
      big hugs

    1. hahahahaha, merci ma copine mais ce ne sont pas des lapins de Beatrix Potter =)
      Denis croyait aussi !
      16 ans, bah bah bah ... Julia avait 15 ans à peu près, j'aurai jamais imaginé faire cette broderie pour sa fille !! mais que ça nous rajeunisse ou pas , toi tu es toujours là et rien que ça c'est génial =D
      J'aime bien les combats avec les fermetures éclair finalement
      Prochain objectif mettre moins de temps pour faire une trousse =D
      Tu fais ma pub avec ton téléphone =)
      merci encore pour tes gentils mots ma copine
      gros bisous

      PS : Pour la sympathique Saint Patrick...si y'a un truc ailleurs que Aix on prend :-/
      on en reparle , bisous

  11. Oh my goodness I think I'm in love! Such a cute design and a beautiful finish. So gorgeous :)
    I reckon you subconsciously knew that you would need this design years in the future that's why you never finished in 15 years!!
    I love the way that you finished it with the cutest backing fabric. All in all a perfect gift for a delightful little baby girl :)
    Hugs xx

    1. thank you so much Noni =D
      My old bunnies are a great success, it would have been a pity to leave them in the cupboard =D
      Sure you're right...I bought this kit for Anna
      can you imagine her Mum was only 15 when I started it =)
      Hubby chose the fabric, and he did a great choice indeed
      A lovely little piece for a lovely little girl
      the only things showing that I made progress is that at that time, I didn't make a copy of the chart :-/
      So I can't re use it as I ticked each symbol...
      thanks again sweetie

  15. Dear Valma,
    Which handbag so beautiful. I can not believe 15 years of waiting to see the finished work. But it was worth it was beautiful. And with the fabric in shades of yellow was really good. Congratulations
