Nous c'était parfait =)
Avant de vous montrer quelques photos de notre journée à Oxford (c'était génial =D) j'avais fait des croix pour Pâques ... mais juste un peu , par manque de temps....
Tout d'abord un petit lapin réalisé pour une 'amie' du groupe Facebook...
C'est une grille gratuite trouvée ici , et j'ai changé la jacinthe par un œuf de Pâques tout en respectant les fils préconisés, à l'origine, pour la fleur.
J'en ai fait un petit coussin.
Lapin, coussin...on prend les mêmes on recommence, j'avais fait une autre grille et le petit coussin est parti au Portugal , chez Marcinha suite au tirage au sort de l'autre jour =)
Une grille gratuite elle aussi, de chez Madame Chantilly.
Les photos des 2 pièces finies sont un peu plus bas =)
Mon anniversaire est tombé en même temps que Pâques cette année, et la boite aux lettres n'a pas arrêté de se remplir...encore hier...et j'ai des tas de jolies choses à vous montrer , mais je vais distiller, pour pouvoir mieux tout apprécier =)
Par ordre d'apparition dans l'arrivée du courrier, il y a eu Giovanna ...
Un joli paquet qui renfermait une très belle petite pochette en tissu avec un papillon au crochet =)
Et comme si ça ne suffisait pas dans la pochette il y avait 3 superbes épingles !
Merci beaucoup Giovanna pour ce très beau cadeau.
Le même jour c'est de Rita que j'ai reçu un paquet, j'avais tout gardé pour n'ouvrir que le 29 bien entendu =)
Les photos sont elles aussi un peu plus bas, mais entre la broche en scrap faite par Rita, la superbe carte elle aussi en scrap et une non moins superbe pochette de téléphone ...avec un papillon et réalisée à la main par une amie à elle...j'ai vraiment été gâtée =D
A Rita aussi un énorme merci pour ces jolis cadeaux
Gâtée vous dites ? Attendez de voir ce qu'Annette m'a envoyé !!! Mais ça , ça mérite aussi un post spécial =)
A très vite pour la suite

Hi the world =)
I hope everybody had a great Easter weekend, here , for sure we had !
Spring , or at least a kind of Spring because it is still very cold outside, made its return and it's very sunny.
Before writing a post about our trip in Oxford (which has been absolutely wonderful =D) , I have stitches to show, stitches I made for Easter. Only two small pieces as I didn't really find the time to make more :-/
The first is a freebie I found here. The original rabbit had a hyacinth in his hand , but I changed and made an Easter egg instead =)
The second one is a chart I found on Madame Chantilly website.
Bunny, Easter...and another little pillow.
Another little pillow that Marcinha won the other day when her name came out of the bowl =)
My birthday was the very same weekend =)
And I had a TERRIFIC one !! Really ! Not only with the trip to Oxford, but also with all the gifts that arrived in the letter box.
Some still arrived yesterday =)
I can't show everything in the same post... so I show you in order of appearance, hehehe =D
The day before my birthday 2 parcels arrived, but I only opened them on the 29th of course !
First, Giovanna....
A very pretty bag with inside 2 beauties !
A lovely case with a great crocheted butterfly on it and as if it was not enough, inside the case there were 3 superb pins ! How small and beautiful the flowers are ! Amazing !
I absolutely love my gifts sweet Giovanna, and once again I send you thousands of thank you. You always find such gorgeous things.
The second parcel the very same day was from Rita.
Here again, I've been spoiled !
Hubby took charge of the chocolates, and I had the other gifts =)
Rita made me this beautiful brooch in scrapbooking, and the other gift was a great phone case with a butterfly on it , that a friend of hers made !
Isn't it beautiful ?? I so love it.
Thank you again sweetie for these wonderful gifts.
You both really made my day and spoiled me girls. I had a long happy dance =)
Lot's of love for you
If you find that I have been spoiled, and if you didn't go on Annette's blog yet...wait and see !
Wow ! I received a wonderful gift that I'll show you later in a special post =)
I don't forget June and Cucki too...but I really want to have everything appreciated as I did =)
It's a real 'one week birthday' =D
I come back soon
