WIPOCALYPSE 04/17

It is the last Sunday of the month, it's time for WIPOCALYPSE hosted by Melissa

http://measi.net/measiblog/2017/03/26/march-2017-wipocalypse-check-in/

My goals for 2017 are to work on : keys/poppies themes/goose game/

Goose game was the main work I already posted, as the April showers from Kerry's Theme-a-Stitch gave me a significant boost with the water theme.

So, it's a Work In Provence post...

I just came back from some holidays. I had to choose some works to bring with me
not the complicated one or with many patterns, threads, fabric to put in the suitcase.
I bring three projects : one WIP  I could stitch in the car :

Marché de Noël - Brin par brin
Cupcakes shop
avancée sur le stand
des cupcakes du marché
de Noël









one mysterious Halloween project (kept for the U TAC shoehorn post for the first Saturday of May)



and a new start, a small one which needed very good light (supposed a better one in the sky of South of France!)
et un nouvel ouvrage, petites croix nécessitant une très bonne lumière (supposée meilleure sous le ciel de Provence)

A stitching from Mr X-Stitch I saw on Jo's Blog Serendipitous Stitching, Mona Lisa,
Une broderie remarquée chez Jo de Serendipitous Stitching, la Mona Lisa de chez Mr X-Stitch

Mona Lisa,  What else!

THEME-TAS-STITCH H2O 04/17

Theme-tas-stitch is an event organized by Kerry


http://ramblingsofabiscornuaddict.blogspot.fr/2017/04/theme-tas-stitch-april-link-up.html



Le thème d'avril est l'eau, sous toutes ses formes, où se cache le H2O ?

This month theme is water,
where found H2O

April Showers - 

What pieces do you have that contain water? - It might be rain, river, sea or lake - see how many stitches you can make!

It's spring, but two of my works are still in winter :

I added snowflakes on "Tableautin d'hiver"

I already finished stitching ice on "Les patins d'argent"      
 "Cuore & Batticuore"

two big snowflakes too

Goose game,  the river/ and water in geese swimming squares
Jeu de l'oie, la rivière en case 6 pont et les oies nageant

so this month was the good one

to work on :

the square 31 is of course
a well
la case 31 est un puits









the painter needs a brush (with water)












a goose game without a stop
to drink a good cup of tea?
thanks to Kerry
as I have some empty squares
to complete
I added it in square 19

water in cup of tea

rosée du matin sur les topiaires

morning dew on the topiary

Don't forget the beads of sweat on the stitcher forehead!

That's all for April Showers!
