Il me reste des pièces de l'an passé à montrer ici...
Et comme une très ressemblante a été faite et offerte pour noël je profite ... je rattrape mon retard et j'en regroupe 3 =)
Ce sont des petits sachets senteur, prévu pour mettre de la lavande, mais comme les 2 personnes qui les ont reçus en cadeau ne sont pas fan de lavande il y aura autre chose dedans, après tout chacun fait ce qu'il veut avec son cadeau =)
Les 2 premiers étaient pour la maman de Super Moitié cet été.
J'ai récidivé avec la fleur de Digoin, à laquelle j'ai ajouté l'initiale du prénom de Belle Maman :
Il va falloir que je me refasse un petit stock de ce tissu qui suit si bien avec ces fleurs parce que j'ai l'intention de faire quelques pièces pour ma cuisine cette année =)
Le second vient d'une grille dessinée par Maja, de The Snowflower Diaries.
Plusieurs amies sur la blogosphere l'ont brodée et voici ma version de Lavender Girl sur du lin violet
Mon premier essai avec des perles à la place des points et ma foi...je suis assez satisfaite =)
De plus ils ont tous deux fait très plaisir, même que l'on m'a dit plusieurs fois que je devrais les vendre ...qui sait...un jour peut être....!
Pour l'instant je veux juste faire plaisir et me faire plaisir...
Le troisième sachet (qui au final semble finir en pochette pour téléphone =D ) a été fait pour ma Grand Mère à noël.
Une petite grille gratuite trouvée au détour du net mais dont je ne retrouve pas la provenance :-/
Je prépare mes petites pièces pour l'étagère de saison et le printemps, et puis le projet secret pour le bébé de Nia qui sera là d'ici un gros mois maintenant...
Mais ce weekend pas de croix c'est certain, championnat départemental au club de tir à l'arc qui risque de me prendre beaucoup de temps et d'énergie...
Mais pas grave, je reviens vite quand même =)
Bon weekend

I still have pieces from 2013 to show here !
So today I'll catch up and gather 3 pieces ...one of my good resolutions for this year was to update more often here wasn't it ? =D
Last summer I made 2 scented bags for Hubby's mum.
I chose another Fleur de Digoin (by the way...did someone see a plate with this flower hanged on the wall behind Lady Violet in Downtown Abbey ?? I did !! =D ) , a flower then, to which I added the first letter of my MIL's name :
The second bag I made her was with a design from Maja at the Snowflower Diaries
Lavender Girl that you may have seen here and there on the blogosphere , but here is my version on purple linen and finished as a scented bag =)
First attempt at beading ! I'm happy with the result and have to try this again.
My MIL was very happy, even if she doesn't like lavender either and that she will put something else inside =)
Everybody does what he wants with a gift...
This is how the scented bag hereunder, that I made for my Grand Mother as her Christmas gift, ended as a pocket for her phone =D
I found this freebie on the web long ago, but can't find where right now :-/
I'll search in case someone would like the chart...
I'm now preparing pieces for the seasonal shelf and Spring (you're going to see designs from Maja again...) but obviously , this weekend I won't touch a needle !
I'm organising with my archery club a championship that is going to take all my time and energy...but anyway, I'll be back soon, why not with pictures of the championship =)
Have a great weekend

Very nice stitching and finished beautifully! I like the rose, it looks similar to the 'English Rose' emblem which might account for it being on Downton Abbey.
RépondreSupprimerI'd like to see your archery pictures, I was always useless at it, I couldn't hit a wall from inside a house!
Kind regards, Brian.
Many thanks Brian =)
SupprimerIndeed, that flower looks like the 'English Rose', surely one more reason for me to love it =D
