Ho ho ho ...

On est en plein dedans, le compte à rebours vers Noël est enclenché !
Le sapin a été décoré ce weekend, les décorations prennent place un peu partout.... et il y en a une petite nouvelle =)
J'ai craqué pour ce cerf , une grille gratuite de Elk trouvée ici


Je le trouvais trop rigolo pour ne pas le faire =)
L'an prochain je m'attaque à son compère avec une chouette sur les bois à la place des oiseaux...
Mais si vous vous voulez la faire cette année elle est disponible ici.

Et puis le facteur a déjà mis sa tenue de noël et commence à apporter ses cadeaux =D
D'abord Angèle qui m'a fait cette adorable petite chaussette de noël avec un hérisson de Margaret Sherry


Mille merci encore Angèle.
Elle a trouvé sa place dans notre entrée accrochée à ma petite étagère =)

C'est Kate aussi qui m'a envoyé cette carte faite main avec une petite souris sur une bûche de Noël.
Tout le monde le sait, les rongeurs et nous c'est une grande histoire =)
Merci beaucoup Kate 


Et puis June m'a gâtée aussi, en m'envoyant cette superbe petite fée !
Le violet ? noooon , j'aime pas ça moi =D


Encore un énorme merci June pour ce très joli cadeau qui restera dans la craft-room après les fêtes de noël !

A très vite pour la suite

Countdown to Christmas has now begun...and maybe just like me you are now in a hurry =)
We decorated our tree last week end , and decorations, handmade or not, are slowly finding their places. 
I made a new one =)
I stitched this funny reindeer by Elk that you can find here
There are 2 different and I chose to stitch first the one with the birds. next year I'll stitch the one with the owl, available here



This time I wanted a very simple finish , just an ornament to be put on the table near the poinsettia.
I stitched it on aïda that looks like linen =)

And as you surely saw, Mister Postman wore on his Santa's costume and brought me some lovely gifts.
My sweet friends know me very well and sent me the loveliest stitched pieces.
First the rodents , with the beautiful card Kate made me. 
Isn't that fellow on the Xmas log very funny ?
Thank you again Kate, our new friend is feeling cosy here now =)
And Angel made me this very beautiful stocking with a Margaret Sherry hedgehog 



So cute too =)
It's already hanged in the entry hall. With such a beautiful stocking , for sure Santa won't forget me this year =)
Many thanks again Angel. (no my friends, no use to click on her name to reach her blog...she hasn't any for the moment ... I'm working hard but still haven't succeeded in convincing her :D love you sweetie)

Last but not the least, came from June.


Me, a fan of purple ??? noooooooooo =D
Thank you so much again for this so beautiful piece June. I love it. 
It will stay in the craft room after Christmas and will be my angel for 2014.
You 3 put such a big smile on my face and warmed my heart. 
I needed it, thank you ♥

That's all for today.
Before leaving I  want to welcome my new followers... I reached 100... incredible
I'll be back soon. A little bird told me it will be with purple...and owls =D

    1. My postman is such a kind guy ! we discussed the other day, he was wondering what I was ordering from each part of the world =D
      No no mister postman, most of the time it's only gifts, no order =D
      hehehehe
      He came in (traditional Xmas tip to postmen) and I show him my shelf in the entry hall with the Xmas pillows I made...he seemed to be 'amazed' and asked me whether I was selling them =D
      believe me or not when he left he said 'now I will want to know what is inside each parcel I bring you' =D
      thank you for your kind comment sweetie
      big hugs
