It's always nice to make gifts, nice too to receive some
and use them in our stitching projects.
It's great and fun to show all this and the perfect place is
on Jo's blog Serendipitous Stitching on the 15th of each month
for the Gifted Gorgeousness post.
See that lovely new logo!

This first post of January will be half about Christmas half about 2022 plans.
Back from Alsace, I had some purchases to use for gifts and lot of ideas for decorations visiting Christmas markets.
Plein de belles créations de Noël vues sur les marchés, les broderies, tissus Kelsch, coeurs et autres lutins donnent envie de reprendre les ciseaux et les aiguilles.
Tout d'abord un petit tour dans le village de Noël avec des nouveautés bien sûr !
Cette adorable maison d'argile, réplique de la maison Pifster (1537) de Colmar, puis ce joli camion acheté chez Käthe Wolfhart à Riquewihr.
First, the new house, a replica from
a house in Colmar (Pifster house -
1537) and this new red truck.
Le magasin s'appelle la féérie de Noël et porte bien son nom.
Specialist for Christmas decoration, KW shop in Riquewihr (I found one in York) is great to visit, often expensive but you can always find a small gift or new ideas.
Un peu de découpage pour bricoler quelques étiquettes comme ces rennes en 3D qui pour finir se sont reconvertis en marques places.
L'occasion d'utiliser, dans un carnet de papiers décorés, ces motifs de bonnets et d'écharpes.
I was making some labels for gifts and finally choose to reemploy them into places markers for our Christmas table.
I bought a nice fabric for a new table clothe in this Riquewihr's shop.
Chez ce marchand de Riquewihr, j'ai trouvé ce tissu en 280 de large
pour une nouvelle nappe.
Ta da ! avec une jolie et délicieuse couronne d'Avent à déguster à l'apéro !
An Advent wreath can be delicious too, yummy!
Some fabric scraps for oven mittens maybe...
Now, about goals for 2022, I hope there will be felt gifts for the kids, new accessories and clothes for the dolls, progress on the patterns I received for my birthday and birthday cards, knitted blanket.
On the wish list, still necklaces, clothes
as gifts for myself, decorations for the house.
For Soline and her doll Violette, after the vegetable garden, I plan to make in felt a little garden with a pond.
Like this picture I found on the internet.
Ground with grass, some flowers
some reeds around a pond,
waterlilies.
Hedgehog, owl, squarrel, turtle
will be fun to add.
I made some geese as Christmas
ornaments and save two for Soline and Capucine.
I started with hedgehogs, simple patterns, I first thought to sew a wood pearl for the nose but didn't find the right size in my stash. Find this little box with shining burgundy pearls which perfectly fit.
HairdresserChristmas finish
Still time to wish you an happy new year
can't wait to see all our stitching friends are going to show
on blogs for their GG posts.
I always find interesting decorative ideas on your blog, just love those reindeers and cute felt ornaments. I´m taking note of that yummy wreath, so colourful. Happy New Year to you too.
RépondreSupprimerWhat a feast for the eyes! Your pictures of your vacation are just lovely and it makes me miss Europe (we lived in Germany for a few years). Your felt ornaments are just too sweet, the pond will give hours of fun! How creative to use the reindeer for place markers too! Always a fun visit to your blog. Happy New Year and Happy Stitching!
