Joyeux Noël

Vive le vent, vive le vent , vive le vent d'hiver...
Vraiment de saison !!!
Cette tempête est est bien là, depuis hier soir mais heureusement à part une tuile de dégagée et le trampoline des voisins qui s'est écrasé dans le jardin rien de bien méchant à signaler pour le moment....
Dernier post avant Noël donc pour vous montrer ce que j'ai fait et envoyé à Julie pour l'échange de noël sur le blog des fans de Margaret Sherry .


Des petites souris provenant du livret offert avec le numéro 184 de Cross Stitch Crazy =D
Le but étant de faire une décoration de sapin, un peu de feutrine, de la cordelette, des grelots....


et hop hop hop , un ornement pour le sapin...version 'notre équipe' , merci encore Super Moitié =D
Associé à quelques cadeaux , le paquet est bien arrivé et a fait très plaisir....
Je n'ai pas encore reçu le paquet envoyé par mon père noël secret , mais je sais que ça me fera plaisir quand même , même après Noël =)
Prochain échange surement au printemps.

Je vous souhaite à tous un très Joyeux Noël et je fais tout pour repasser avant l'année prochaine =)

'Jingle Bells' translated in French is a song speaking about the winter wind...!
And we definitely have the wind !!!
What a tempest we are having ! For the moment only tiles felt from the roof and strange objects coming from the neighbourhood (understand a big trampoline !) landed in the garden...but for the moment nothing too bad to be declared here  !
Only a very short night....

So a last post before Christmas to show you what I made for Julie , for the Xmas exchange on the Margaret Sherry lovers blog.
I chose mice (of course...) from the free booklet 'Xmas Cuties'  that came with the issue 184 of Cross Stitch Crazy.
Just as for the moose last time... thick felt, ribbon, bells...and here is a little ornament =)


Once again thank you so much to Super Half for this little cute ornament he made =)
I only stitched the mice ! He did the rest...
I added some goodies of course, the whole reached Julie very quickly and she was very happy, so I was too =)


I still haven't received the parcel from my secret Santa, but I'm sure I'll have a happy dance even after Christmas =D

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I do my best to come back before next year 
Lot's of Christmas wishes from Hubby and I

  1. Love those mice, Valma! Lovely gifts for Julie.
    You do such amazing finishes.
    Your Christmas display is quite lovely.
    Watch out for flying reindeer and sleighs with that wind! :)

  4. Joyeux Noel to you and your Hubby! I truly love the ornie and I am very pleased to learn that "Super Half" assisted in making it. Makes it even more special. While I agree with the comment about flying reindeer, I'd be more concerned with flying elves, hehe.

    Have a wonderful holiday!

    Julie

  7. Great minds think alike!! I loved this design... And as it was a secret Santa and I didn't know who I was stitching for when I started stitching I thought that mice would be a good choice!! I love how you finished your mice off... They look gorgeous :)
    I hope that you stay safe during the horrible winter weather you are having over your way... A couple of missing tiles is much better than a whole missing house!! Stay safe, Merry Christmas, hugs xx

      I have to stitch them for myself =)
      you're so right speaking of the missing tiles ! we didn't have lot's of damages , that's the most important thing
      2013 is going with the wind ! it's still very windy :(
      Big hugs sweetie

  17. What a team, no??? You and Hubby have made a great ornament, truly beautiful! Congrats to you, guys! Here, Christmas means hot weather, high summer, beach and vacations! LOL My parents and relatives came to visit us and we went to the beach!!!! Crabs, shrimps, coconut water and 'caipirinhas'... It's really different of North America and Europe. I hope your 2014 be brilliant! Happy New Year, sweetie!!!!
