GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 02/25

 

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.

Opening the post with my homemade birthday cards.

Soon this one will join my goddaughter.

March will come soon with early birthdays, so I needed a new idea for a friend and I'm thinking of a vintage disc player

When I was younger I wrote on this "vintage record" writing paper (in round of course) so I thought I could add a pocket on the top of the card with a vinyl with my wishes.

With an old pen I have designed the grooves of the vinyl record

(so many memories back...)

and a new stitched one for DD2 and DSiL3, both pleased with Japanese food, I have finished the inside.

Comme entrée en matières : mes cartes d'anniversaire faites maison avec pour les anniversaires martiens deux nouveaux modèles. Le premier sera inspirée des tourne-disques de mon enfance, le vinyl et le bras de lecture seront mobiles et j'ajouterai une pochette avec un petit disque pour les voeux.

Anne-Solène et Benjamin sont amateurs tous deux de nourriture asiatique donc ce joli bol de nouilles sera parfait.

My two stitched WIP progress, a few stitches on the skirt of Christmas carols and on the flowers of the Lady with the unicorn.

Quelques points supplémentaires en marron sur la jupe de Christmas carols et des fleurs pour ma Dame à la licorne.

Un petit tour au salon du DIY fin janvier avec quelques achats dont ces dominos à coudre de chez Zazobouzi.

At the end of January we've got the annual DIY fair, not a lot of very interesting stalls and some prices getting totally crazy. But I was happy Zazobouzi was here this year so I could buy a new fabric gift for Pierre, I have chosen the dominoes.

I will use the same fabric with ladybugs I used for his forest story bag for the back of the dominoes and for a bag to store them.

For the baby birth I'm making an album similar then the one I made for Pierre in 2023.

I'm using the leftovers of the paper pages.

That will make a link to the big brother sharing some decorations as the kite, the musical page, the shape for the birth date for example.

For other pages, I have selected a bear in his bed, a swallow and a nest and some little sailing boats.

I have found my ready to stitch bib and I have designed "Miam Miam"

= Yummy and some small patterns looking like the fabric.

Bons progrès sur mon album de naissance, avec ce nounours dans son lit, la famille hirondelle et mes petits bateaux. J'ai retrouvé mon bavoir prêt à broder, je vais recopier les motifs du tissu et inscrire "Miam miam".

Quelques petites surprises fabriquées en laine pour Soline que je vous montrerai à l'occasion du Smalls SAL.

I'm making some small knittings for Soline's new shop and the right place to show them will be last Friday of February in the Smalls SAL post.
