Un air de printemps

Depuis dimanche, le printemps semble montrer le bout de son nez...mais il fait encore très froid...et en prime il parait que ça ne va pas durer !
Quoiqu'il en soit, histoire de mettre un peu de printemps et de couleurs aux environs, j'ai fait une petite grille gratuite que j'ai trouvée sur ce site ...
Il y en a quelques unes très mignonnes , mais celle ci et une seconde que je n'ai pas encore terminée, ont particulièrement retenu mon attention


C'est déjà petit à la base et comme je l'ai brodée sur de la toile 7 points c'est vraiment riquiqui =)
Je l'ai montée sur un petit coussin , tout simple, qui est parti dans le sud de la France chez une autre amie brodeuse.
Le tissu que j'ai utilisé était un coupon offert par Rita encore =)
Une fois de plus il était parfait pour le motif...


Ce dimanche nous avons reçu les parents et les Grands mères pour un petit repas d'anniversaire ... et une de mes Grands mères m'a offert une orchidée, qui, il n'y a pas d'autre mot était vraiment parfaite pour moi =)
En plus d'être belle, elle a des fleurs... avec des papillons ! Excellent non ?  =)
Je vous laisse sur la photo de cette très jolie fleur , vous dis à très vite et Joyeuses Pâques

A shy Spring has been with us since Sunday...
It's still very cold outside (4° only yesterday afternoon) but it's sunny, and we have to enjoy this because it seems that it won't last !! Can you believe that snow is forecast again !!
Definitely fed up with this tooooooo long winter ...
That's why I want to put some Spring and colours here around =)
First, have you seen the picture of my new orchid ?? 
My parents and Grandmas came on Sunday for a small birthday celebration and one of my Grandmas offered me this orchid that is really perfect for me =)
Amazing natural and perfect butterflies drawn in each flower !
I really love this new orchid =)

Then , I found on this French blog, some cute, easy and quick to stitch freebies.
I made two, but one is not finished yet.
Here is the first I made for a friend in the south of France


It's a very small design and I stitched it a 14 counts fabric so it's really small =)
It only measures 6cm ...
I made a little pillow with a piece of blue fabric I received from Rita last year, once again this fabric you offered me Rita was perfect for my project =)
I first wanted to add ribbons but finally decided to make it in a very simple way
My friend loves it =)

Have a great Easter 
I'll be back soon

  15. Oh so sweet. Gorgeous finish for a sweet stitch. I love the fabric that Rita sent & the little charm is just perfect. Lovely finish :)

    Your orchid is beautiful. I love orchids but never have any luck with growing them. The flowers are so delicate and so pretty.

    I do hope you start to get some warm Spring weather soon...
    Hugs x
