Je l'ai vraiment fait ???

Un an ??
A quelques jours près !!!
Difficile à croire et le temps est passé trop vite !
Beaucoup d'évènements, des bons , des mauvais, des très mauvais même...des aiguilles pas toujours très actives... une année 2014 en dent de scie et ...bref...
Me revoilà et nous sommes déjà presqu'en mai !
J'espère juste que vous ne m'aurez pas oubliée et que vous ne me tiendrez pas rigueur de cette trop longue absence :)

Le premier événement marquant de 2015 aura été fin mars, mon passage à la quarantaine :)


Célébration 'en cocon' avec uniquement mes parents, ma grand mère et marraine, parrain (avec tata biensur :D )
Pour marquer le coup j'ai fait appel à une cake designer proche d'ici et j'ai eu un gâteau vraiment spécial :)
Sur le thème de la broderie et de la couture, il était vraiment superbe et délicieux :)
Merci encore à Karine - V.I.C


La petite brique légo était pour rappeler l'anniversaire de Super Moitié qui, comme tous les ans, le fête la veille du mien :D
Super Moitié qui a encore frappé puisqu'en plus des superbes cadeaux que j'ai reçus, il m'avait préparé 40 paquets à ouvrir !!!


Le facteur m'a aussi apporté de très beaux paquets et des cartes, du Canada, des Pays Bas, du Portugal...
Une fois de plus j'ai été gâtée !

Pas de croix à moi pour ce retour, mais j’espère très vite revenir à la normale...
J'ai la chance d'avoir trouvé des collègues qui aiment bien ce que je fais et j'ai pu réaliser quelques créations pour elles....je vous montre bientôt ???
Et avec ça les pièces faites depuis mai l'année dernière !!!!

Alors.... à très vite ?


Thank you Kate  
Thank you Angel




Did I really do it ?
ONE YEAR !! Almost...
I can't believe it ! Time went by sooooooo (or too) quickly !
After May, 2014 has been a bit 'strange' for me ! 
Good events, bad one, very bad one, I sank very low and the work to rise to the surface hasn't always been easy.
My life totally shifted and I had to adapt myself.

I hardly kept in touch with some of you, sporadically answering my emails :(
Anyway I'm back, or I'll try to be, mojo is here again, I missed too many things, I missed you all so much and right now I'm just hoping you haven't forgotten me and that you'll forgive me :)

My needles haven't always been very busy (even if ,when I look at the pictures I've done, it seems that sometimes they have been on fire !!) 

First important event of 2015 is that by the end of March, I turned 40 !
Ho my ! When I said time was flying away too quickly.
I wanted to celebrate it with my close cocoon and for that very special day only my parents, my Grand mother(s),  Godmother and Godfather (with Auntie) came.
I found a cake designer close to home and had a very special cake done :D

 

Wasn't it superb ?? With all those details so perfectly done.
Beautiful and delicious :D
Everything was edible !!
The little lego brick was for Hubby and , as usual hehehe, he has his birthday the day before mine :D


I have been spoiled rotten !!! 
Super Half even prepared me 40 small parcels to open :D
So lovely !!

Mister postman also brought some beautiful things in the mail box :D
Canada, Netherlands, Portugal...I've really been spoiled !
Thank you so much again Ladies
 
Family, Friends, new sweet Colleagues...I have been very lucky.

Thank you Petite Anne

I'm lucky enough to have found colleagues who like what I do :D
So no stitches for this come back but soon I will show what  I did for them
A good way to make another post ... maybe one more with the pieces done since May last year ;)

So...
Back soon

Thank you....

....Nia

  12. How wonderful to see you back in blogland, dear Valerie! I am so sorry last year was difficult for you, but I hope your 40th birthday gives you a fresh start and many happy things to celebrate in the future :)

    Your cake was so special--just perfect for you and I love the addition of the little Lego brick in honor of your husband. He sounds like a super husband in every way--40 gifts to open must have been such fun!

    I'm glad you received some special gifts and I hope to see your stitching progress very soon.

    Happy Birthday, my friend--and a big welcome back. We all missed you, too!

    1. Thank you so much my dear Carol :)
      And thank you for not having forgotten me :D
      I'm so happy to see I still have friend here, hehehe, I was a bit afraid , as if I had wasted precious links :(
      Life has been hard last year, succession of bad events and I really felt as if I had felt down in a big black hole !
      I found the way out, that's great
      my heart is still suffering sometimes but it is less painful, good memories are coming back to the surface more often than the bad one ;)
      Hubby was happy with his Lego brick :D
      And his 40 gifts !!! what a delight, I have been blessed.
      Thank you again for your precious friendship always
      Talk to you very soon

  13. o I am so glad you are back! I had wondered where you had disappeared to but I had somewhat disappeared too. I figured life just kinda got in the way like it sometimes does!

    You had such a spectacular birthday and that cake!! It's so cute! Even with the extra little lego for your husband. How could the little pins be edible?! :D 40 gifts must have been so much fun. Happy birthday to you both (a bit late~).

      Disappeared...that's the right word :(
      At a time last year, each week if not each day brought a bad news :(
      But I'm now out of my hole and will do my best to come very often.
      Indeed...even the pins were edible :D
      Everything was made out of sugar. I even kept 2 bobbins as a souvenir :D
      Hubby will varnish them ;)
      I had a real great moment opening all my gifts :D
      For sure I will never forget my 40th birthday ;)
      talk to you soon
      Thank you again for your kind words
