Une fois de plus ça fait longtemps que je ne suis pas passée par ici !
Une vie bien remplie (tant mieux...) et puis je l'avoue trop de temps passé sur l'ordi en journée au boulot alors le soir...pas envie :(
Mais aujourd'hui me voilà pour dévoiler les cadeaux reçus et envoyés, lors d'un échange sur le blog des fans de Margaret Sherry :D
Je devais envoyer un sourire (le thème de l'échange) à Nia au Portugal, et c'est Preeti qui devait m'en envoyer un d'Inde.
Autant le dire, mission accomplie !
Première fois que j'avais une partenaire en Inde et premier échange pour Preeti qui m'a trop gâtée :)
Un très joli livret à épingles (son tout premier), bordé d'un lacet de crochet qu'elle a aussi réalisé.
Les pages sont elles aussi brodées avec tour à tour des perles, des fleurs, des papillons....
Du violet, des souris....Preeti était certaine de faire mouche :D
Ajoutés à cette déjà très chouette pièce, il y avait des tas de cadeaux typiquement indiens et typiquement broderie ;)
Une fois de plus mille mercis à Preeti !
Banane le sourire, banane :D
Et puis il y a ma pièce... pour Nia.
Le bébé de Nia ayant eu un an en début d'année ce dessin s'imposait :D
Super Moitié m'a fait un plateau , bleu forcément, la couleur de Nia et hop hop , le tout est parti au Portugal (2 semaines pour arriver !!!!!) et de ce que j'en sais il a bien fait plaisir :D
Cela faisait bien longtemps que je n'avais pas participé à un échange... j'avais oublié comment c'était agréable ;)
Comme tout le reste ... expérience à renouveler très vite !
A bientôt

Hi the world :)
One more time, I've been absent here.... 2 months already !
But we having busy weeks and weekends (sounds great) and I must also admit that being on the computer all day long at work, when evening comes I'm fed up with computers :(
I also had a terrible lumbago that lasted 2 weeks and tired me so much....
But here I am today, to show you how I had a (very) "mice exchange" with friends from the Margaret Sherry lovers' blog.
It was called "give a smile exchange" and no doubt that I received a smile and send one :D
Preeti from India was my smile sender. her very first exchange and a real success as I'm really in love with everything she sent me !!!!
Have you seen that superb needlebook she made me ? :D
And this cute handmade doorknob garland...
Lovely
Purple, Mice.... Preeti made the right choice !
All the pages are embroidered with flowers, butterflies...
There was also in the parcel that only took 4 days to come (mine reached Portugal in 2 weeks !!!!) plenty of goodies either specially for Xstitch or typically Indian.
Have a look, I've been spoilt !!!!!
Everything is so beautiful, sweet, cute, lovely....Preeti, once again thousands of thank you for all those gifts.
I'm blessed and for sure it is a banana smile I have on my face :D
Then my piece for Nia....
Nia's baby is 1 year old now and the design I chose was obvious for her :D
And mice are also my signature :D
Super Half finished it in a tray, a blue one, her colour and voilà....
I totally forgot to take the goodies in picture except the mug :(
But you'll surely soon see a post about that exchange on her blog :D
A great occasion to come back too....
I had forgotten how exchanges are exciting !
I have to join another one in a near future !
Until next time, happy stitching my friends
Coming soon

It is very "mice" to see you back again!!!
RépondreSupprimerGorgeous stitching and gifts both sent and received! A very successful "smile" exchange! :o)
I know what you mean about being on the computer all day at work and then not feeling like doing any more computer work when you get home... I have exactly the same problem which is why I end up so far behind in my blog reading and posting!!
Take care
Hugs xx
Thank you so much sweetie :)
