GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 06/22

 

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.

Cadeaux donnés ou reçus, toutes les occasions sont bonnes

pour partager nos coups de coeuret participer au "Gifted Gorgeousness"

de Jo - Serendipitous Stitching.

DD1 and her family were participating in the

"Orléans Vélo (cycling) Tour"

it's a biking event : a circuit in the town they love to do

for the occasion they open places not usually allowed

for bikes as some mall hall, floral park, fire station, parking...

This year she wanted all the family dressed in Mario characters

so I was hired to sew a pink waistcoat for Toadette

and some small Bob-omb

She made a lot of funny accessories too

Knitted cover - Couverture tricotée

Je poursuis la réalisation des carrés de laine tricotée pour la couverture destinée à EA qui avance tout doucement. I keep going knitting for the squares which will make a cover for DD3

A few more white, black and pale purple squares, at the end of May

my total was 170/324. I'm back from some holidays in Brittany which means travelling and knitting in the car, today I'm 194/324.

Spirit of Mrs Claus - Brooke's books  - Paper and patterns gifts from my daughters - Papier perforé

You won't probably see a big difference with the picture I posted last YC but I can tell you that there are 7 more stitches in DMC 3773, on the hands, the neck and near the right eye. And one less mistake on the right arm!

Papier et schémas offerts par mes filles, seulement quelques point supplémentaires en DMC 3773, sept pour être précise (et une bétise de moins sur le côté droit du châle).

Two birthday cards should be sent in June

one for a good friend and one for Capucine

I recently discover the paper work of Cristiana Bellini

and wanted to make some similare characters for my cards

J'ai découvert la série -Les PetiteS- de Cristiana Bellini

et j'aime beaucoup ses créations

nouvelle inspiration donc pour une prochaine carte d'anniversaire

Pour Capucine, j'ai convié quelques amis peluches

pour lui présenter nos meilleurs souhaits

To make the card for Capucine

I have invited some stuffed friends to celebrate her 6 years

Since I took the photos, I have added what was missing...

pink glitters

I was in a good mood playing with papers and cardboards

so I took a little advance on the calendar and started July's cards!

Fun to make again a U shape card on the kitchen theme

for DD3 godfather

I found a lovely green striped cardboard in my stash

and cut a front dark green to stick the cake which will appear

behind the oven glass door

Je me sentais inspirée donc j'ai commencé la confection des cartes du mois de juillet, il faut dire que le 14, en plus de notre fête nationale j'ai trois anniversaires à fêter 

La première sera en U sur le thème de la cuisine

voici les bases : murs, fond de four avec un gâteau ainsi que le devant qui se replie pour la plaque de cuisson

14th of July is a busy birthday day (and of course our national day)

Régis (DD3 godfather), DD1 and her son

they will receive pop up cards

Some robots for Timothé

and some pink flamingos will decorate the box for DD1 card

I'd like to make some felt flowers

Pour Timothé, des robots festifs et pour sa mère un décor de flamants roses avec peut-être des fleurs d'hibiscus.
