Les 3 derniers !

L'an passé j'ai commencé une série de 12 moutons que j'avais décidé de terminer en dessous de verre.
Il en restait 3 à faire , que j'ai brodés en ce début d'année et terminés la semaine dernière =)
Voici donc les 3 dernières vertus , Gratitude, Kindness et Joyfulness :



Mon projet d'une année aura un peu débordé sur 2 années mais en même temps je n'étais pas pressé, même si je suis bien contente de les avoir tous !
Mes pièces de printemps avancent à petits pas, pas aussi vite que je le voudrais mais j'avance bien par contre sur le projet pour les petits pieds portugais qui vont bientôt arriver alors ça c'est parfait =)
Très bon weekend et à bientôt pour la suite

Maybe you remember that last year I started my 'one year project' with the 12 sheep virtues by LHN.
If not, or if you arrived after dear new readers, follow me, it's here =)
3 were left and I finished them this year, even last week only !
Gratitude, Kindness and Joyfulness have joined the set of coasters I decided as the finish for those lovely sheep.


I'm very happy with those coasters, even if it took more than one year to gather them all. Only 2 months more, not a disaster =)
Besides those sheep my pieces for the Spring shelf are slowly progressing...but never mind, Spring seems not to be for now finally ! 
We no more have tempests but days are still very rainy and cold !
Spring pieces are progressing slowly but I'm well progressing on my secret project for the little Portuguese feet that are about to arrive, and that sounds perfect to me =D
Wishing you all a very great weekend
Coming soon

      they are really a pleasure to stitch you'll enjoy
      The 3 first arrived with the buttons too, but after, as I decided to finish them as coasters I couldn't use the buttons so didn't buy them anymore...
      even the buttons are sweet =D

  14. I adore your little coasters. What a fantastic finishing idea :)
    I think you can be forgiven on being a bit later than 12 months in stitching them!!
    Good to hear the storms have gone... Hopefully spring won't be far away for you now :)

      I must admit I'm very surprised seeing the picture of the 12 together...I find them beautiful =D
      If I had doubts they have flown away...
      I'll miss a year project after my secret piece is finished...but maybe I'll be lucky enough to find a job that will keep me busy !!
