mon premier travail de broderie Richelieu
first work
Some laws by Richelieu in 1620 stopped the using of passementerie, too good for the lace.
Pour l'anecdote, le Cardinal de Richelieu a contribué à faire considérer les chats comme animaux de compagnie. Il a installé une chatterie au Palais-Cardinal et les chroniqueurs rapportent qu'il avait toujours un chat sur ses genoux lorsqu'il travaillait. À sa mort, il possédait quatorze félins, la plupart des persans au poil Angora, dont les noms sont parvenus jusqu'à nous : Félimare, Lucifer, Ludovic-le-Cruel, Ludoviska, Mimi-Piaillon, Mounard-Le-Fougueux, Perruque, Rubis-sur-l'ongle, Serpolet, Pyrame, Thisbe, Racan, Soumise et Gazette.
Cardinal Richelieu had 14 cats (names up).
This step was dedicated to Heather "It's geek to me" , with a squirrel, as a passenger in restaurant car and a H on the place mat on the counter. Then the shop was decorated with some of her stitchings, a link to her Theme-a-Licious (I have been fond of last year), orchid and Atlanta famous sports.

Next wednesday, we'll have to get ready for a particular event.
Yay for me! This clue was much harder to solve but still possible with a little bit of work and luck. I am still surprised that I recognised Cardinal Richelieu from the bank note.
RépondreSupprimerHow lovely to dedicate this step to Heather too. I'm sure she will be very flattered when she visits.
I LOVED this clue! I bet Heather will be so thrilled to see your drawings!
