La Fée bleue

La chaleur écrasante de ces derniers jours a eu raison de moi et de mes mises à jour par ici....
Mais avant que ne commence vraiment la journée la plus chaude de l'année semble t-il, un petit post pour dévoiler le cadeau d'anniversaire de Nia =)
La grille m'a été offerte par une amie du groupe français, sachant que j'aimais les papillons et le violet (Elle est de LanSvit, et si au début on ne la trouvait que sur des sites Russes ou Ukrainiens on la trouve maintenant sur des sites Européens , comme celui ci (allez jeter un œil à sa couleur originale...)  avec des explications en Anglais ce qui est quand même plus simple ! =D  )
J'ai craqué pour cette petit fée donc, mais Nia aimant le bleu, Super Moitié m'a aidée à la passer en bleu et voilà le résultat


J'ai une fois de plus choisi du lin, bleu ciel, et si la grille était notée 'expert' c'était pas pour rien =)
Il y a des tas de points plus bizarres les uns que les autres mais finalement je m'en suis bien sortie !


 Trop grand pour une trousse ou un pochon je l'ai terminée en housse de coussin , avec un tissu à pois comme Nia les affectionne =)
Sur la branche normalement il y a une fleur brodée , mais une fois de plus l'aide de Super Moitié a été fortement appréciée et la broderie a été remplacée par un petit bouton peint
Le petit détour ici vaut le coup d’œil aussi, certains d'entre vous le savent déjà mais je l'ai contaminé...... =D


Superbe non ? =)
Il ne reste plus qu'à espérer que le bébé qu’attend Nia sera une petite fille, ce coussin serait parfait dans une chambre de petite Fée , surtout avec les petites Fées en feutrine de Tati Annette =)
Elles sont superbes...
J'ai pas mal de pièces terminées à partager ... pourvu que les températures soient plus clémentes très vite =)
A bientôt

We had terrible hot days this July (that is already finished !!!) 
I must admit that I'm not a heat lover at all...then I lived in my grotto... and I'm late on many things !
First I want to welcome my new followers here
Wow, 81 this morning, I'm so happy =)
Many of you already saw this piece on Nia's blog (by the way, thank you for the very lovely comments you left on her post =D they made me blush !) 
Here is then my birthday gift for her.
I have been offered the chart by a friend who knows I'm a great butterfly and purple lover. Indeed, initially this piece is purple and pink but as Nia is a blue fan...Super Hubby helped me in changing the colours (and there are so many !!!) 
This fairy is from LanSvit , so many cute design from this designer ! 
I first only found them on Russian selling websites, with surely impossible charts to be read...but now LanSvit is in English and I found some here on this Irish site (Angel...you wanted to know where to find her =D)  
There's a blue fairy in the collection but no, I wanted this one...but in blue =D
Have a look at the original purple piece...



Crazy stitches on this piece !
Fortunately I had the good idea to chose linen and not Aida ! 1/2 stitches, 1/3 stitches...even 1/4 stitches, French Knots ! I thought sometimes I was about to drive mad !
But as I said to Nia, when we love whe are able of crazy things =D
The result is lovely don't you find ? 
It was too big for a pouch (zipped or not) so I made a pillow case., with a fabric with polka dots of course ... it was for Nia =D
You saw on one of the pictures above, that initially there was a stitched flower, but we replaced it by a small button that Super Hubby painted =D
I contaminated him, he now has his blog, he is able to do incredible things !!!!! But you knew this already =D
Sometimes (often) it's a very different style from what we do of course, but have a look.... =)


I first thought of a star in her hair too but it would have been too many buttons =)
May I say I'm proud of this piece ? =D
Really, I was myself amazed by the result when I started the backstitch !
Let's hope Baby Nia will be a little girl, this pillow would be perfect in a Fairy bedroom , with the felt Fairies Auntie Annette made =D
I have many other pieces to share with you...let's hope the temperatures will allow me to live outside my grotto hehehehe =D
Coming soon

  9. Valerie, this piece is simply gorgeous! Not because it's my favorite color but the pattern, the polka dots fabric, the little button...everything is special in this pillowcase.

    I have faith that I will be able to do something like this one day, on linen :D It will take a lifetime but I wanna stitch one to call it mine :D To hang on my wall :D

    Well done my friend!

    XOXO,

    Isabella.
