GIFTED GORGEOUNESS 05/24

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.

Lady with the unicorn was a kit given by DD3 for Christmas 2023

Only a few more stitches in light blue,

but all stitches count, right?

May is my birthday month and I have been spoiled by friends

A big surprise came from Japan...

I'll feel close to Toki sharing that wonderful Fujiyama

Virginie and Soline have sent such great gifts too

this lovely wind mill

Mon nouveau sac d'ouvrage colorisé et personnalisé par Soline

Soline put colors on this lovely bag and

named it "the little crafts from Jocondine"

When DD2 visited us she told me she had kept

from her past trip to England

a nice stitching from Textile Heritage

Maybe it waited for my bithday bell to ring!

No need to tell you that it will probably be my next "small"

Un petit souvenir rapporté de Londres par DD2 qui attendait que sonne l'heure de mon anniversaire...

sur Big Ben

During our holidays in Changé we spent a day with my aunt and uncle

in Malicorne sur Sarthe for a big exhibition of embroidery

DH aunt bought some tombola tickets and...

she won a brooch she gave to me

All the prices were made by craftperson of the year

this one is made using the "Beauvais stitch"

Dominique avait acheté des billets de tombola lors de notre visite

à Malicorne sur Sarthe pour les JEMA et la chance lui a fait gagner

cette superbe broche réalisée par une meilleure ouvrière

au point de Beauvais. M'en voici l'heureuse bénéficiaire !

Remember last month birthday card for Pierre   one year old

here he is...

Crochet : I'm back with a new project for Capucine

A summer dress made with crocheted squares

I bought five balls in April and started making squares

now I know that I can crocheted seven/eight squares

with a ball, not sure it'll be enough for the dress and

going back to the store I only get one more ball.

So after seeing Capucine and checked the mesurements

I'm planning to crochet a top and see if I can make a skirt

and assemble them together with another wool or only make a long top.

Et voici Capucine, l'acrobate après une chute en grimpant à un arbre?  Entorse plâtrée !

And here's Capucine, the acrobat who fell while climbing a tree?

Sprain in plaster!

I have now a total of 28 squares which means I've got

4 ranks of 7 for the skirt part of the dress maybe only

3 ranks of 8 if it needs to be larger

Another fitting session with my top model soon!

Pour réfléchir au montage des carrés crochetés pour la robe

de Capucine une nouvelle séance d'essayage s'impose donc

en fonction de la largeur désirée je réaliserai des rangs

de sept à huit carrés.
