Bonjour le monde
Merci pour cet accueil réservé à mon 'retour' :D
J'avais promis de revenir vite alors me voilà ... avec quelques croix offertes au travail :D
Je le disais la dernière fois,j'ai la chance d'avoir trouvé des collègues qui apprécient ce que je fais alors j'en ai un peu profité :D
J'ai commencé par un plateau pour le départ en retraite de l'une d'entre elle.
Partant de sa passion pour la nature et la marche j'ai fait un papillon (du fait je me suis éclatée :D) que Super Moitié a transformé en plateau.
Et puis selon les gouts, j'ai fait des petits coussins avec tout à tour chats, escargots, anges ou bord de mer....
Pour la petite Z (la fille de l'une d'entre elles et qui a 4 ans) c'était les escargots :D
Pour A c'était les coccinelles, et pour S un chat roux ;)
Avec du violet comme souhaité:
Puis des anges pour C , qui de temps en temps nous charme les oreilles de sa belle voix lyrique.
Et un peu de bord de mer pour une autre C :
Et puis pour finir une autre S a fêté ses 50 ans en avril et en plus du cadeau que nous lui avons fait, comme elle adore les chevaux je lui ai fait une carte...mais malheureusement j'ai oublié de prendre la carte finie en photo !
Alors juste la broderie :
Nous avons une collègue enceinte, alors qui sait...peut être je vais avoir le temps de préparer un petit quelque chose pour elle aussi....
A bientot :)
Hello the world :D
First I'd like to shout a big THANK YOU to you all who came here last week, commented and sent mails, thank you for a very warm welcome 'back' in the blogosphere.
It really touched my heart.
I promised to come back soon, so here I am, with some stitches I made for my dear colleagues.
I had the chance to find a job last year, after 2 years without anything...and luckily I found new colleagues who like what I do, so no need to say I profited by that opportunity :D
The first piece I made was for a colleague who retired ! Only 4 months after my arrival :(
As she is a great fan of Nature and walks I stitched a butterfly (what a fun for me :D) and Super Half finished it as a tray.
Then according to their tastes, I made cushions with successively cats, ladybugs, snails....
For the daughter of D, 4 years old, I made those cute snails as she loves them very much :)
They are now in her bedroom and she really loves her little cushion :)
I made a cat for S , with purple fabric as she asked and ladybugs for A (not the one from Pretty Little Liars hahaha)
More than being my boss (!! :D) A is a great fan of Ladybugs and needed luck at that time.
My cushion filled her eyes with stars and luck was there too so perfect isn't ?
Then a piece of seaside for C.
She loved it so much that she almost had tears in her eyes. So sweet. I had a real big hug the day I gave her.
And we have another C who is a lyrical singer and who sometimes delights our ears with her beautiful voice. I made her angels singing Hallelujah :)
The last piece I made was the horse above. it was for S (a second one :D) who celebrated her 50's in April. Added to the gift we made her and as she is a fan of horses I made her a card we all signed, but unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the finished card !!!
Another one is pregnant
So maybe I'll prepare her a little something...who knows :D
Stay tuned, I'll be back soon
