My two main projects are gifts for my granddaughter and the daughter of my goddaughter (that's a lot of daughters)

First, Zazobouzi "dinette" for Capucine, I'm working on a basket for the cutlery
I choose to simplify how to assembly the fabric with the lining and wadding.

Next to sew the four cups

Secondly, the loto made in fleece, I'm working on the second set for Soline (my goddaughter's daughter).

Some cross stitch of course on Halloween in the rain with some threads given by DD3

About DD3, she's is a Virgo and I'm preparing her birthday card on zodiac theme

Checking blogger I realized that this post is the 500th, happy anniversary!

Cet article étant le 500ème, belle occasion de fêter cet anniversaire avec vous !

Signe du Lion -  23 juillet / 22 août

Disney studio Parc - Paris    04/18

Le lion nous offre tant de d'illustrations que je n'ai pas travaillé assez pour toutes les présenter,

néanmoins voici celles retenues :

So many examples with Lion, I haven't work enough to use them all

Notre cher Jean de la Fontaine avec sa célèbre fable (que j'ai dû apprendre dans mes jeunes années) :

Le lion et le rat,

Pris dans les mailles d'un filet...   vous me voyez venir avec mes bottes de caoutchouc :

Retrouvons mes filets de pêche garnis cette fois de coquillages et autre étoile de mer

A well-known fable of Jean de la Fontaine is named : the Lion and the Rat

The lion is trapped in a net and needs the help of the rat

This net will give me an update for my two fishing nets full of seashells and starfish

I don't often share pictures of me stitching, here is a pretty one

My third first name could be Clarence

kind of explanation for my recent mistakes

(that was that crossed eyed lion from Daktari
show from my youth)

I was a little discouraged
but facing adversity
I rectified the grey thread
and finished DMC 415
on my owl

Que faire pour se remonter le moral, commencer un nouveau projet !

What could I do to lift my spirit

start a new stitching!

I'll talk about it later cause as usual I'm making changes with chart and threads

so it needs a few adjustements, to be followed...

Pas de détail sur cette nouvelle pièce, comme d'habitude j'aime le dessin

mais je ferais bien quelques ajustements sur le choix des fils et des schémas,  à suivre...

Les statues du parc du Château de Vaux le Vicomte restent impassibles et annoncent le retour des silhouettes félines du projet "famille"

Feline silhouettes are back and the lions statues of Vaux le Vicomte gardens impassive.

Une pause pour reprendre des forces...
Une petite collation serait la bienvenue... c'est l'heure de la page pub !

Need a break? Some snack to regain your strentgh, ad!

I have listed the films produced by MGM from 1924

I was quite sure to find some titles linked to Lions or to my Halloween stitching...

1955 La toile d'araignée de Vincente Minelli / The cobweb
1973 Le fantôme de Cat Dancing de Richard C. Sarafian
1975 Le lion et le vent de John Milius : The wind and the lion
2007 Lions et agneaux de Robert Redford

Comme il y a un certain Prince Jean qui attend de prendre des couleurs sur les joues, il a tout à fait sa place dans cet article.

There is a Prince John who is waiting for some color on his chicks, he has his place in this article

It's time to say goodbye, with Titus the Lion, what happen next : it's new storie.

C'est le moment de se dire au revoir avec Titus : "Et après ?"

(ORTF 1967/1968)

Après, c'est une autre histoire !
