Little House Needleworks a sorti tous les mois un mouton associé à une vertu et j'avoue j'ai craqué !
A la maison on a un faible pour les rongeurs...mais pour les moutons aussi :)
Depuis janvier donc, tous les mois, un petit mouton est né...
ça c'est le premier, Hope (espoir)
Pour le moment j'en ai fait 9, le dixième attend sur la table de travail...et les derniers ne sont pas encore sortis.
Tour à tour donc, Love (amour), Peace (Paix), Courage, Faith (foi), Wisdom (Sagesse)....
.... Simplicity, Patience, Frienship (amitié) ... sont apparus sous les croix , en petits carrés de 10 centimètres par 10 centimètres.
Normalement ils étaient tous à broder sur la même toile , pour être encadrés ou autre mais une fois n'est pas coutume, il a fallu que je cherche une idée originale pour les finir =D
Sur une boutique un peu spécialisée en article à 'décorer' avec des broderies ou des photos, j'ai trouvé des carrés de plastiques pile à la taille...en fait...des dessous de verres =D
Et mes moutons se sont alors transformés en 12 (enfin pour le moment 9...) dessous de verres =)
Sympa non ?
Surtout pratique ! et pas besoin d'un nouveau cadre et d'un autre mur...
A bientôt pour la suite :)

In 2013 I had a 'year project', which had been to count sheep...and fortunately, I didn't fall asleep =D
LHN issued the 12 sheep virtues and I must admit... I succumbed !
Here at home we have a passion for rondents, but also for sheep (and reindeer at Christmas !)
So since January, a little sheep came to the world each month, under my needle & threads.
Hope, Love, Peace, Courage, Simplicity, Patience, Wisdom, Friendship, Faith... for the moment 9 done, the 10th (Kindness) is still waiting in the stitching basket, and the last 2 one haven't been issued yet !
12 squares of only 10x10 centimetres.
They should have been stitched on the same fabric, to be framed or whatever...but you know me by now...I had to find a 'special' finish =)
I bought in an on-line shop specialized in articles to customise with pictures or stitchings...squares of plastic...at the perfect size...sold by 12 (really perfect :D) .... you guessed it ?
Yes... coasters =D
Very useful and no need for a new frame or another wall =)
I found in a shop close to home the perfect coasters holder (initially there were paper towels in it)
I love my coasters and can't wait to stitch Kindness and the last 2 others.
Hope you love them too. I'm curious to know which one is your favourite =)
Mine is Simplicity and Hubby is Wisdom. I love the colours and he loves the wool...
I don't forget the travelling pattern I have to prepare for its next trip...
Tomorrow ? =)
Anyway I'll be back very soon

Gorgeous stitching!

Thank you sweetie :)
SupprimerI so enjoyed this project (still enjoying in fact...)
Will miss it next year =D

Such beautiful stitching and a wonderful finishing idea:-)
RépondreSupprimerMany thanks Lesley =)
SupprimerEach time I think my brain is empty of any new idea...but finally no =D
xxxx
Wow these are so pretty. I just love the coasters you made. Could you tell me where you got the blank coasters from? I love all of them but I think I like Friendship, Wisdom and Courage the best. Well done :)
RépondreSupprimerFriendship is in the top 5 here also =)
SupprimerThank you very much for your kind words
I found the blank coasters here : https://www.my-accessories.co.uk/
it's a very great shop, not very expensive and finally full of new ideas (I'm always in search of new ideas :D)
maybe we'll have the luck to see coasters soon by your side =d

Love these, Valma, and finishing them as coasters with their own box is a brilliant idea! I like them all.
RépondreSupprimerThank you very much Kate =)
SupprimerWe used them this summer when having a drink in the garden , it was funny to choose 'the virtue of the day' =D
xxxx
Oh, what a great idea, Valerie!! I just love your new set of coaster--I'll bet there is no other set like it in the whole world :) Each sheep piece is lovely--I may just have to stitch some of these myself... Really beautiful job on all :)
RépondreSupprimerthank you so very much Carol
Supprimerfor sure, this set of coasters is unique =D
I'm always in search of new finishes, or at least original one :)
those sheep are quick to stitch, I'm really enjoying this project and will miss it next year (ho ! I'll surely find a new one :D)

Hi Valma! You've done an excellent job with them and making them into coasters is a great idea! (Something that Mii hasn't tried yet!!)
RépondreSupprimerI think Courage and Simplicity are my favorites, though Wisdom and Friendship come a very close second. Kind regards, Brian.
Thank you very much Brian
SupprimerI wanted to change a bit from cushions and...cushions =D
On the website they are many ideas to finish our pieces, I'll surely make soon another visit =D

Hello Valma !
RépondreSupprimerI like all good I've been looking for some time now the graphs of sheep but at the moment I can not buy because I'm unemployed without renumbering if there was someone who shares up for email would greatly.
kisses and hugs. :)
Thank you Monica =)
SupprimerIt seems we are in the same situation :-/
I sold them on Ebay after stitching them to be able to buy the next one...
If I see them somewhere I'll think of you
