J'étais sur le point de parler du soleil qui était revenu et du printemps qui semblait enfin arriver...et puis finalement le soleil est timide aujourd'hui et il semble que le temps va tourner une fois de plus à la pluie !
Et si au niveau broderie , on changeait un peu des petites bébêtes à fourrure ? =)
Il y a quelques temps j'ai craqué pour un modèle de chez Tralala qui s'appelle Miss Bobine
Au départ persuadée que cette broderie allait finir en livret à aiguilles et partir quelque part à l'autre bout du monde, ou pas d'ailleurs...j'ai finalement décidé de la garder =D
Nous sommes allés faire un peu de shopping ce weekend et j'ai trouvé une petite boite, normalement prévue pour le thé je pense à cause des casiers carrés à l'intérieur, mais qui m'a semblée parfaite pour y mettre mes boutons =D
Super moitié à passé son dimanche matin à la poncer, la peindre, et la poncer à nouveau et la peindre encore pour un résultat qui me plait beaucoup =)
Ajout d'un petit ruban sur le couvercle...avec des papillons biensur...et hop hop hop la boite est prête à recevoir les boutons que je vais pouvoir classer par couleur.
L'an dernier , Nia m'offrait une boite pour mon anniversaire et j'ai voulu celle ci dans les mêmes tons pour qu'elles puissent trôner l'une à côté de l'autre dans le bureau
J'avais bien dit que cette année je me faisais plaisir =D
J'ai d'autres modèles de Tralala que je veux faire, avec des moutons (je suis dans une phase moutons vous verrez !) alors j'espère pouvoir bientôt vous montrer tout ça...
Mon échange de Pâques est parti pour l'Allemagne , pas de partenaire secret pour celui ci...mais attendons qu'il soit arrivé pour le dévoiler !
Et puis quelques petites pièces en réserve aussi....mais gardons en un peu pour une prochaine fois =)
A très vite

I was about to speak about sun, Spring that was about to come because of the last 3 days which really have been full of sun and we 'high' temperatures...but this morning the sun is shy, the sky is grey and I think it's going to rain again !
Anyway, let's speak about stitching and this time we're going to put aside our little furry fellows =D
Sometimes ago, I was unable to resist to a design from Tralala, which is called Miss Bobine.
I was sure I would make a needle book with it, and that I would send it at the other side of the world, but finally I kept it =D
We went and did some shopping this weekend and I found a box (initially a box for tea bags I think...) that I found perfect to store my buttons =D
I'll be able to store them by colour and not in the same bag as I used to do , being forced to have them all out when I need only one !
Super half spent his whole Sunday morning preparing it =D
He even added a ribbon with butterflies...
Last year, Nia offered me a box for my birthday, and I asked Hubby to try and find the same colours to have them side by side in my office ...I don't have a craftroom =(
The picture shows a very 'flashy' pink but it's more pastel than this !
I'm very happy with this box !
I said beginning of the year that I would try and pamper myself in 2013 =D
It's a good beginning....
Tralala designs are cute and they can be stitched very fast !
I have 4 little lambs from the same brand that I would like to stitch too (you will soon see that I'm in a lamb period =D, don't ask why !!)
My Easter exchange left on Monday, no secret partner this time, as soon as it has arrived in Germany I'll show you what I did
I hope Judith will love it
I also have small pieces to show you, but I need to sew before...maybe this afternoon !
See you very soon my sweet friends

Wonderful finish! :D That looks so beautiful sweetie! lovely lovely =)
RépondreSupprimerohh! Why didn't you ask me for the paint? I would have sent you a little bottle of the same acrylic paint that I used! It would be really easy to ship :p

The ribbon finish looks perfect :D gorgeous finish! Congrats!!! :D
thank you very much sweetie =D
SupprimerThe box you made for me has inspired us a lot !

Beautiful!! Lovely stitching with a cute design from Tralala & your other half did a fantastic job with the box. Perfect new home for your little buttons ☺ xx
RépondreSupprimerthanks a lot Mii =)
Supprimerit is now full of buttons
I didn't realise I had so many...!
Tralala has very sweet designs, just as Jardin Privé !
I need to stitch more of them =)
Have a great day
big hugs

It's a beautiful design and a beautiful box - the two of you are very talented!
RépondreSupprimerI think you need to tell me how you mounted the stitched piece on/in the box - I love the idea but I haven't a clue how to do it. :)
thank you very much Kate
SupprimerI'm blessed with my other half =D
He is so handy, much more than I am !!
Hubby glued my stitching on a thin cardboard he cut at the size of the glass and at the back he put some ribbon so that it can move. To prevent my stitches to be 'crushed' by the glass he also made a mount =)
If you want I can send you more pictures =)

Hi, sweetie! I was a little bit away from blogosphere, I'm sorry about this... My youngest son, Rafael, had suffered a surgery last week and I have been busy so far... Now he is really ok and I'm here to tell you how I've missed you and your amazing crafts! Oh, my good Lord! Just could find pretty things here and they had filled my eyes and my heart with beauty! Thanks!
RépondreSupprimerawwww sweetie, I'm so sad to read Rafael has been ill and had to be operated on =(
SupprimerI really hope he is well now and that everything will be OK for him
Give him a big hug from me =)
Thank you so much for your kind words
I wish you could see my box for real =D
Love for you sweetie
xxxx
Awesome.. you really did a awesome job!!
RépondreSupprimerYou put felt in to the box ??
IT looks so great..
My tea box is broken, I'm going to buy a new one and also wanne make a stitching piece in it.
the idea is in my mind for so long but can't find THE piece to stitch..
First need a box, and I want a bigger one, the one I have now is too small
thank you so much Petite Anne
Supprimerit was a long time since the M Team made something =D
we put felt in it yes, I found it was more beautiful and more practical for the buttons
I love it =)
sure you'll soon find a box and make one for your tea bags
it's such a good way to finish a stitching
big hugs

Big hugs Giovanna :)
