HALLOWEEN BLOG HOP
Boo! and welcome, it's time for the Hallowe'en Trick or Treat Blog Hop organised by Jo from Serendipitous Stitching...
I finished this saturday my ghost, it's stitched with a DMC E940 fluorescent on a purple fabric.
I hope he will give me a brilliant smile in the dark house.
My letter is
" O "
Now, you'll have to visit

Happy Halloween to you all

Have a nice day!

THEME-TAS-STITCH 10/17
Finally, the Theme-tas-stitch post...
still no decision for the color dress
Sei Personaggi in cerca di Natale - Cuore e Batticuore
Metallics :
I made a change for the brown color of the trees and stitched them with a DMC 140
Skates are stitched with a silver
instead of the recommended grey 169
I'll thought it will be more realist (metal)
But I don't like the result for the
writing on the top, not enough contrast.
I'm thinking of stitching the title all in red,
DH is voting for red and green
or I can go back to the grey
Any advice?
Pattini d'Argento Cuore e Batticuore
Marché de Noël
Dans le cadre de la "pêche à la ligne" pour laquelle je couds des poissons, j'ai pensé que les pêcheurs pouvaient également tombés sur un trésor, j'avais donc dans l'idée de fabriquer un coffre contenant or et bijoux,
For my "game of line fishing", I'm sewing fishes, but sometimes fisherman can also found a treasure so I thought of making a trunk with jewelries.
A nice surprise to found in my bag of cheap jewelry (those given in the shops as gifts) some shellfish and sea star.
Opulent October
Break out the bling, stitch with beads, charms, metallics or on sparkly fabric.

Shiny effects with this wooden muff, I'm ready for a cold winter.
A brilliant idea : Visit Kerry' blog

INTERNET IS BACK with ZODIAC SAL & GG
We had big issues with the internet during last weeks, no more phone, no more TV box, no more internet... so I'm late on a lot of posts...
So, here is the new ZODIAC SAL, Jo from Serendipitious Stitching is hosting.
On her blog, you'll find the first Saturday of each month the linking post.
She is starting with Libra, an Air sign represented by Scales.
Shoehorns allowed.
http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.fr/2017/10/zodiac-sal-libra.html
No Libra or scales in my stitching, but Air can be a good shoehorn,
In my vocabulary book, the plane page will be ok for this post
for the words : plane, cloud, sky
The word as a banner and I will add a toy paper plane in a paper pocket in the back.
Le mot avion flottera dans l'air tel une banderole et une maquette sera installée sur le dos de la page dans une pochette de papier.
Restons dans les airs, dans le ciel du jeu de l'oie, finition des montgolfières et des cerf-volants
My WIP of the moment is "Patins d'argent" and there is a lot of snowflaxes in the air.
Flocons de neige dans le ciel des Patins d'Argent, mon ouvrage du moment.
This post is dedicated to my beloved dad
who was born on September 29th
at his family home in the street of Justice!
Welcome now
in the Gifted Gorgeousness
post
I have finished to knit in the garter stitch a piece of rectangular shape (to close for a woolen hat).
I wish tomorrow I'll see my granddaughter to verify the size and make some fittings.
Finitions et essayages à venir.
A card for a baby boy named Arthur.
Une petite carte de félicitations
pour la naissance d'Arthur.

ALPHABET CLUB TAC X
Dernière ligne droite pour l'ALPHABET CLUB auquel j'ai participé depuis août 2015 avec beaucoup de plaisir. En léger décalage avec les autres participantes, j'ai repris le cours du dictionnaire en août dernier avec le V. Aujourd'hui, c'est le tour de l'antépénultième lettre de l'alphabet : le X.
I took part in the ALPHABET CLUB since August 2015 with a great pleasure but had some troubles to keep up in spring. My dictionnary is opened again, I was back with the V in August. Today, it's time for the antepenultimate letter, X.
https://thegreytail.wordpress.com/
As on preview posts, I have imagined a scenario for those mensual posts
as the creators of this new event offer us a quite total liberty to how develop them.
My own way will go into worlds of stitching, words, drawings, designs, garden, cooking, music and travels.
Evocation of a word begining with the letter linked to DIY activities
and personal researches on what you could find in my garden, in my kitchen, on my record player (the vinyl one), in my travel souvenirs.
X comme petites croix de point de croix.... cross stitch
To evoke stitching, embroidery, sewing
in the vocabulary book for Timothé
I plan to stick some Aida work on the top of
the page and to add a penguin (perforated paper)
for him to stitch.
X comme Xmas
It's the first time that I stitch Xmas things all year round, with many projects as Christmas market from Brin par Brin, Sei Personaggi in cerca di Natale from Cuore e Batticuore, Avvolgente Natale from Serenita di campagna, Xmas tags, etc...
I choosed three WIP I worked on this year for an update :
6PNatale WIP
the first I stitched waiting for her frame, the near to be finish after a change of colors for the hat, the WIP.
Marché de Noël de Brin par Brin,
October will be the good month to put them out of the basket with metallics threads.
Quand Noël s'en mêle de Un chat dans l'aiguille
no cross stitches here, but nice embroidery
and Avvolgente Natale which is waiting for his Gold Thread.
X comme X
Une petite évocation d'un autre alphabet celui de Louis Braille
qui perfectionne le Code Barbier pour un faire
un système d'écriture tactile.
Parfait pour le point de noeud.
in the kitchen, dans la cuisine,
on my platine vinyl
dans le jardin, in the garden,
quelques clématites grimpent
volontiers sur des palissades
Clematis on some "x"
dans mes souvenirs de voyage, in my travel souvenirs,
luXembourg
as all the towns named with an X are Chinese!
Les villes dont le nom commence par un X sont en grande majorité chinoises, j'ai donc choisi la ville de Luxembourg traversée quelquefois pour rejoindre Morbach dans le Hunsrück.
Novembre nous donnera l'occasion d'évoquer la lettre Y approchant ainsi de la toute fin du Club Alphabet !
In November, we will be near to the end with the letter Y.
