More gardening

the garden is kind of recovering from the heatwaves with

unexpected flowering : clematis and bindwind

but mosquitos still keep me far from my schedule in the flower beds

so only some cuttings in a plant terrarium

More cooking

As shown in the Bon Appétit post before autumn menus some last summer meals with vegetables marined and grilled with olive oil.

Served with pork and black Camargue rice.

More junk journaling and paper crafting

November birthdays cards and a special mysterious theatre book you'll see soon with a lot of paper crafts.

and another special project with one branch of the family tree

for Timothé, from 1633 to the present day, a great deal of research.

More crochet and knitting

I'd managed to knit the scarf in a few days but didn't get the chance to give it to DSiL1 before his London trip. He will receive it before the first really cold days anyway.

More Christmas

The Christmas countdown has officially started on October the 17th.

I'll post CC articles as I make progress. As every year, it's a long list.

I have lost track of topics as Measi.net doesn't work since August check-in.

Pas de petites croix ce mois-ci, beaucoup de cartonnage avec divers projets autour des cartes d'anniversaire et d'un livre enquête théâtre. De longues heures de recherche pour finaliser une branche de mon arbre généalogique pour Timothé.

Une écharpe de sorcier, quelques plantations de bouture et une dernière tournée de délicieux légumes grillés avant les menus d'automne.

Bien sûr, le compte à rebours de Noël a démarré avec une liste aussi fournie que les années précédentes et autant de plaisir à retrouver tous mes petits bricolages.

More blogging and travelling

As we spent some nice holidays in Dordogne, lot of pictures and some posts to share our visits but not a lot done this month.

More gardening

Only a bit of plants propragation, I brought some "babies"

of chlorophytum from my aunt house ready to make roots

I'm far from my schedule cleaning the flowers beds

as mosquitoes and insects don't let me free out 2 mn

on the terrace or in the garden, worse year ever.

More junk journaling and paper crafting

"the layers of atmosphere" for Capucine

already working on the "Sewing" number 3

details soon next Thursday

More crochet and knitting

Only a few rows here and there. 

Nothing special to show.

More watercolor

Some pastel colors for cards

The Tour has started on May the 18th for 17 weeks.

On September the 13th we have reached our last stage in Château Porcien.

Thanks to all the "players" who have shared

with me this medieval journey.

I have some troubles to post on Melissa's blog / Measi.net

so I'll post on FB.

Topic for this month:  What new stitches or techniques did you learn this year?

Looking for a translation, I found : Swiss embroidery, chicken scratch or Gingham lace?

It's stitched on Vichy fabric, crosses  x and +.

I have started with a Christmas pattern and made a birthday card last April

Do you prefer to stitch on a rotation or one project at a time?

Impossible to stitch only one project at a time, all DIY mixed I'm close to ten WIP this month. (I mean WIP in my hands not in my bags...).

No big plans in the garden, too hot to work out, only try to save some flowers from burning from the heat and sun.
