Chacun sait maintenant que j'ai un gros faible pour les souris et celles qui arrivent ont une histoire que je m'en vais vous raconter...
Mais d'abord, une souris qui n'est pas de moi, et qui m'a vraiment fait très très plaisir la semaine dernière....
A la Saint Valentin, je gagnais la giveaway de Mii =)
Déjà fin contente d'avoir participé et d'avoir gagné...j'ai vraiment été gâtée !!!!
Ce petit coussin avec la souris est adorable et en plus était parfumé...
Tout est vraiment très beau et je te l'ai déjà dit par mail mais une fois encore Mii .. mille merci =)
Des souris et encore des souris donc...
Le 17 février 2011, 2 ans la semaine dernière en effet, je postais ici mon premier message...mon blog naissait =)
Le premier post parlait déjà souris !
Les 2 premiers Margaret Sherry que je faisais , et pour la pièce où je voulais les mettre (ceux qui sont déjà venus ici peuvent confirmer que oui, c'est une pièce à part entière =D) il me fallait absolument un pendant, et je voulais les Sailing Mice =)
Je les ai cherché pendant longtemps et mes recherches m'ont conduit un beau jour de février 2011 sur le blog des fans de Margaret Sherry ... je 'rencontrais' Nia, j'ai créé mon blog sur ses conseils , j'entrais dans la blogosphère ... et outre la kyrielle de superbes aventures qui me sont arrivées en chemin... je commençais les Sailing Mice =D
Je les ai commencées et jamais terminées !
En sortant les petits lapins pour Anna l'autre fois, j'en ai profité pour dépoussiérer aussi ces petites bébêtes et je les ai terminées la semaine dernière =D
Une fois de plus je ne sais pas pourquoi j'ai remisé cette petite merveille alors qu'il ne restait pas grand chose à faire =)
Elles sont maintenant encadrées et ont parfaitement trouvé leur place !
Elles ont une vraie histoire, et c'est tout de même grâce à elles que ce blog existe ... histoire que j'avais juste envie de partager en même temps que les croix =)
Dans un autre registre , on parlera bientôt de Clair de Lune...

Of mice and Me
Indeed, I told you I would come back with mice after cats...so here I am
Everybody knows now how I love mice and I have a story to tell you about the 3 you surely have seen
But first...
One mouse, one over cute mouse that I didn't make, but that I received last week and who really made my day !
I won the Valentine giveaway Mii organised on her blog. I was already happy to participate and win, but when the parcel arrived I made a happy dance again !!
I have been over spoiled and I already told you by mail sweetie, but once again thousands of thank you for all these gifts you sent me =)
I absolutely love everything and of course my heart goes to this pillow, which is too beautiful and so me : mouse, butterfly, purple and pink...
I love ! Merci Mii
It's definitely the right post to tell my story...
In 2011, February the 17th to be precise... I wrote my first post here =)
2 year ago last week, yes...
I have made some weeks before my 2 first Margaret Sherry !
There were 2 mice, that we framed for our new house, and I wanted a 3rd one to face them in the room and I wanted the Sailing Mice =)
I think I totally felt in love with these cute design as soon as I saw it !
I searched for days an internet site where I could buy it...
My searches led me on the MS lovers blog, I 'met' Nia, I created my blog on her own advice, I met the blogosphere ... and among the load of super adventures that I lived since that day.... I was able to start the Sailing Mice =)
I started ... but never finished them !
Don't know why, as there was only one mouse to stitch and the other 2 to backstitch...
But when I had a look in my UFO the other day for Anna, I saw them and decided to do the dusting on this design too...
They are now framed and have found the perfect place in our home, facing the 'parents' mice =D
Impossible to take a good picture of the frame because of the bad light =(
But it's the same as for the first 2 ...
They are 2 years old, as my blog, and my friendship with you here, I really had to thank them for that and to share their story =)
See you soon with I hope a WIP of Clair de Lune....

Trop mimi tes souris!! Ravie que tout te plaise :) Avant de t'envoyer tout cela, je me suis permise de prendre une petite photo de mon petit travail & l'ai envoyé à Lucy Heaton, le designer de Furry Tales. Elle l'a gentillement aussi mise sur son mur Facebook!! Que des commentaires bien sympathiques :) Bises, Mii
