+++ Couture / More sewing !
No progress on clothes or cushions but I received an order! DD3 send me a photo of a little bag in a whale shape.
So I started drawing and cutting a pattern. Then the small pieces of fabric in old jeans.
June and July are big birthdays months which means four birthday cards.
Spiral card for a friend is ok, DD1 will receive a "wardrobe card" and the vintage record player is almost done.
For the kids, I have to find a new pattern every year and Capucine will have to find her 9 candles in a new version of the "candles hunt".
Timothé will be 14 and is talking about a training at a cooking school maybe, so I have chosen the "cook" theme for him. I wanted to make something funnier than my kitchen card and found an old project of a cone of French fries I could transform into a fries and hamburger wishes card. I could write wishes on the fries and "build" a 3D pop up hamburger.
No sooner said than done, I'm cutting bread, salad, tomatoes, cheese, pickles and ketchup.
I have now to think about how I'll put them together, probably with a nylon thread in the middle with a Z piece of plastic between the different parts.
I'm also making new things for my Junk Journal.
Côté cartonnage, plusieurs cartes d'anniversaire en cours et surtout un nouveau projet pour fêter les 14 ans de Timothé. Des études de cuisine ont été récemment évoquées donc je choisis un thème cuisine mais je veux trouver une idée différente de la carte en U que j'ai déjà fait deux fois. Je pense alors que je peux recycler un ancien projet de sachet de frites qui pourrait recevoir mes voeux en le complétant avec un hamburger en pop up.
+++ Jardinage / More gardening !
I tried anemones in one of my terrace pots this year!
+++ More beading / Confection de colliers
I wanted to be back making necklaces for so long but I have already so many things on my desk that it was always postponed. I hope I'll be able to finish something before the summer.
I'm trying to make a long necklace made on a base of DMC threads making a kind of small rope (we call it cordelière) on which I'll attach buttons, charms... ending with a tassel.
I have chose a coton perlé n° 5 738 beige associated with a metallic pink 5852
Cela fait trop longtemps que je veux refaire des colliers, il est temps de passer en fin à l'action. Avec comme premier essai une base de cordelière réalisée en coton perlé et fil métallique sur laquelle je vais coudre de jolis boutons, des charms et mini accessoires en finissant par un pompon gland.
