Grande fan du blanc, et aussi du bleu, et en fait du bleu et blanc , Annette a un penchant pour ce qui ressemble à la faïence de Delft.
Aussi quand dans un des magazines Français spécial 'Toile de Jouy' j'ai vu cette grille je me suis aussitôt dit 'celle là ... c'est pour Annette' =D
Juste 3 couleurs et très peu de points arrières pour un rendu plutôt bluffant
Ne serait ce que la petite maison en arrière plan =)
Mi toile de Jouy, mi faïence de Delft, un beau résultat que nous avons terminé en petit plateau pour pouvoir crafter partout (nous...oui...biensur =D)
Pour ne pas risquer de perdre son aiguille biensur...un petit biscornu assorti =)
Encore joyeux anniversaire à Annette , qui a beaucoup aimé son cadeau de par ce que j'ai pu en déduire avec tous les tweets reçus à minuit samedi =)
Beaucoup de bleu ces derniers temps non ...!
Je reviens vite avec d'autres couleurs et des finitions très différentes =)

While a birthday parcel just reached South Africa....but will have to wait a few days before being opened...another was opened this Saturday by Annette =)
Almost everybody knows how Annette loves white... and also how it is difficult (at least for me :D) to do white things !
But one day she told being fan of Delft earthenware , so when I saw in a French magazine special 'Toile de Jouy' this chart, in white & blue looking like this style she loves...I immediately put it aside and said to myself, this one is for Annette =)
Only 3 different threads and a few backstitches...for a great result I find. Can you see the little house at the background ?
We (of course...we =D) finished it in a small tray, just like the one I used for my travelling pattern stitching , but painted in white.
And of course to not loose the needle while crafting outdoor, a small matching biscornu =)
With the tweets I received at midnight last Saturday ... I can say that my sweet Petite Anne enjoyed her gift =D
Let's hope now the one that is waiting by Cucki will also be appreciated...
Don't you find I'm handling with too much blue those days ? =)
I'll be back soon with other colours...and other finishes...one of which I'm so in love with !!

Lovely and very beautiful stitching !! :) Annette is lucky girl !! I never thought about this idea of adding a cross stitch piece on the tray. Thanks for sharing!!
RépondreSupprimerthank you very much Preeti =)
Supprimerthose trays are great because of the glass that protects the stitched piece
I had one with no glass and the stitched piece was dirty very quickly =)
that's great if I could share this idea with you =D
Big big hugs
xxxx
Valma your work is so beautiful , you really are stitching some beautiful things the last few months all wonderful, hugs.

SupprimerJe regrette, j'avais trouvé ces petits plateaux pas très chers en Belgique, dans un petit bazar...j'en ai pas pris assez en fait ...ils auraient pu servir, et maintenant il n'y en a plus =(
mais bon je trouverai bien d'autres idées pour terminer mes broderies =D

Oh my gosh! Totally gorgeous! I must say that I never heard about this designer but I love blue, the colors are perfect and it's an easy pattern for stitching, the result is awesome!
RépondreSupprimerXOXO, ISa.
wow, thank you very much sweetie =)
SupprimerI must admit I'm not a great fan of the 'toile de Jouy' canvas when it's on the wall or on the sheets..but this way, cross stitched...I love =D
you're right, it's a very easy pattern...often the simple things lead to something very beautiful =D
Thank you again

Wow! Sooo pretty Valerie! I love Delft china and the tray suits it perfectly! I wish I could find trays like that! I have no clue where to find them!!
RépondreSupprimerHugs
Thank you very much Anne =)
SupprimerI bought 2 trays sometimes ago, one for me and one for 'someone' ...it appeared it was finally for Annette =D
I found them in Belgium ! (Belgium is very close from here)
I regret, I should have buy some more ! they were very cheap
if I find some others I'll send you one =D
Big hugs

Valerieeee.....how cute this is!!! Loved it!!! The stitch is soooo delicated and beautiful and it worked so well this finish! I must say that i love what you do with these small trays!! First they are very cute and a great idea to put our stitches and needles and threads while stitching...and then you finish them soooo well!! I'm in love!!
RépondreSupprimerGreat job!! From both! ehehe
Many kisses my dear!
*****
Thank you so very much sweetie =)
SupprimerI found those trays a day in Belgium and I regret, I should have bought more than 2 !
Now I can't find them anymore ! only 3€ !!
I hope one day they will sell some others soon in this shop =)
I must admit I use mine everyday when I stitch !! it's so useful...
thank you again
big hugs

A lovely stitching and a beautiful finished piece :)
RépondreSupprimerI had seen it before by email and on petite anne's blog ;) hehehe so my surprise reaction isn't as big but it doesn't mean that it's not a beautiful work!! Really pretty, lovely and charming! =)
Many thanks sweetie =)
SupprimerIndeed, you were part of the secret hehehehe
This piece was really pleasant to stitch and our international Petite Anne loved it so that's a wonderful 'reward' =)
big hugs
xxxxx
This is absolutely beautiful!I really like the way you finished it too.AriadnefromGreece!
RépondreSupprimerthank you very much Ariadne =)
SupprimerI only have one regret....I didn't buy enough little trays for further projects =)
xxxx
Oh wow! Another amazing piece by the wonderful Valérie and Super Hubby! :)
RépondreSupprimerI love this little design... It is so pretty and I just adore the way you finished it in the white tray. I can just see the little house in the background... It is very clever the way only three colours and a small amount of back stitch can make such a great picture.
Your matching biscornu is perfect. I still haven't attempted one of these!!
Such a gorgeous gift for Annette :)
Looks like another trip to Belgium for you to get more trays :)
Bug hugs xx
thank you so much Noni =)
Supprimerreally , you never attempted a biscornu ? =)
it is very easy, you should try
we went back to Belgium but didn't find any more tray...but sure they will have some very soon
each time we go in a shop we look for something that can be used and transformed for my stitchings =D
we always need new ideas =D
