SODA

Pourquoi s'arrêter en si bon chemin ? :D
Un petit 3ème pour le mois de mai, gardons le rythme....

Je suis toujours aussi fan des grilles SODA ! Et l'an dernier j'en ai fait 3.
Il y a d'abord SODA Conte avec  Le Petit Chaperon rouge pour Annette.


L'histoire est extraordinaire, puisque, moi qui n'avais jamais mis les pieds aux Pays Bas...j'ai eu la chance d'offrir ce cadeau en mains propres en rencontrant Annette pour son anniversaire :D
Une magnifique journée , comme si cela faisait juste quelques jours que nous ne nous étions pas vues, accueillis comme de la famille....vraiment une superbe journée :D

Ensuite c'était SODA Japon, pour Rita :)
Aussi fan que moi des Kokeshis je n'ai pas pu résister à lui faire cette grille superbe !
Il va falloir qu'elle repasse sous les aiguilles...pour MOI....


Et enfin SODA fée de saison. J'ai choisi le printemps pour Cucki.
Qui connait Cucki sait que cette fée était faite pour elle :)


 Les 3 terminées en petit coussin qui va bien, et hop hop hop direction Les Pays Bas, le Portugal et l'Afrique du Sud :)
Je me suis achetée 3 nouvelles grilles SODA lors d'un salon près de la frontière Belge...alors bientôt surement de nouvelles créations.

A très vite

Hi there 

Can't even believe it myself !! A new post...A 3rd one ! WOW !!
Hold on Valérie, hold on :D

You surely remember (or you will discover) that I'm fan of SODA stitch !
Last year I made 3 , that I finished in little pillows to offer.
The first one was for Annette, in the Netherlands. I made the Little Red Riding Hood :)
She loves this story and the character. 


And what a crazy story...
I was about to send her, but her Half send us an invite to her big 3.0 party :D
And we finally decided to go ! I offered her directly, in her hand, after a big hug that almost costed me a tooth :D
What an INCREDIBLE day, awesome as she would say. As if we just met for the the last time some days before, as if it was natural, as if we were family. Incredible souvenir ! You can go and see by yourself :D

Then SODA Japanese girl went to Portugal, to meet Rita :)
Just like me she is a fond of Kokeshis and Japanese dollls, so this chart was evident for her !
I had the perfect fabric to suit in my stash ! It even suits a box I have !!!
 

And the last one went to South Africa, by Cucki.
Who knows Cucki will surely finds this Spring fairy was perfect for her.
Our sweet friend had a bad accident some times ago, sweetie I sincerely hope you're better now.


Some weeks ago we went to a small craft show dedicated to Xstitch and sewing , near Belgium and I bought 3 new charts to Chibie Stiches I had the chance to meet !
So soon I hope I'll be able to show you new SODA creations ...
There are butterflies in the new collection !!!! I think they will soon be on my to do list !!

Before leaving I'd like to thank you all for your warm welcomes back ;)
And welcome to new friends

I'll be back soon

      Keeping my needles busy helped me to think at other things than what was happening around me :-/

  17. Eeek SODA stitches!! I love love loooove their patterns but they're impossible to find here and shipping costs a ton! I have a friend in Korea that I'm thinking of harassing for a box of charts hahaha. :D You've finished them so lovely, too. The Japanese girl is my favorite finish but I think Cucki's little fairy is just adorable.
