GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 11/23

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.

November's birthdays for my dears son/daughter in law

First for Yoan a big HP fan the Tunnel Book I have described

in a special post a few days ago

Then to Aude a laundry travel bag

pour réaliser les poches j'ai choisi d'utiliser deux carrés

de broderie faites en 2014 sur un tissu DMC Géometry

l'occasion de broder avec du coton perlé en associant les couleurs

The pockets have been made with two squares of Géometry fabric

I stitched years ago testing that new DMC technic

with hearts shapes patterns given with the kit using pearl cotton size 5

and I wanted a nice or funny parcel so I made this pattern

seen on the web...

I'm back on small felt food for Soline's dolls

what's new on the menu?

Chupa Chups!

and wraps are a great way to use tiny leftovers felt

Mes choix sont souvent induits par les photos miniatures que je

trouve dans les publicités, cela se transforme quelquefois en défi !

Très drôle de fabriquer ces chupa chups et mes petites chutes de

feutrine sont parfaites pour les wraps.

Then I wanted to try macarons, those are less than 1cm

They are so small I had to make a little box and a support to present them nicely

Caramel, orange, café, pistache et fraise

mes petits macarons méritaient un joli coffret

d'où la confection d'une mini boîte avec une séparation pour

les maintenir en biais et ainsi améliorer leur présentation.

Ensuite réalisation des palmiers avec un double enroulage

de coton perlé n° 5 pour retrouver le roulé de pâtes.

A kind of pancake and what we call small palm trees cakes

Autumn is here and the two dolls Violet needed a warm hood

So my parcel to Soline has been sent last week

with all the surprises.

Ce n'est pas le jeu des sept erreurs mais seulement

un face ou pile

N° 3

I'm still working on my "not so ugly" Christmas sweats.

Finished : As my daughter told me that my lobster looked as a deer head I have added antenna and a Christmas belt!  Still have to decide shall I put a garland in his claws? maybe it'll be too much.

Cookie - Snow globe  -  Sewing done!

Waiting for the sewing assembly or accessories : 

Pinetree branch  - boots  -  dragon  -  cactus  -  turkey

Newly started : unicorn -  snowflake

 Here they are back...

After the two guys I made last year
I have to finish a new one
"animal/nature lover"
I got the idea that the end of the
hat could finish with a swing
to welcome a bird.

Gnomes...  le retour

Mon troisième personnage sera l'ami

des animaux et de la nature.

J'ai dans l'idée de fixer une sorte de

balançoire au bout du bonnet pour

y accueillir un oiseau.

I made the hat in the fabric of an old fur sock for kid's boots.

Réutilisation d'une chaussette de botte enfant en fourrure rouge.

I'll put raffia around the wire and wait for a bird to stop by!

I have a choice of charms to add on the hat, always the same problem : scales, I know it's not really important but it bothers me!

The bird, the frog and the owl are probably too small but I think I can keep the wood snail on the top and the dragonfly. The two ladybug buttons are maybe a little big but they look so cute, I'll keep them. The really tiny mouse on the left will go in the beard.

I need a butterfly, bees and flowers.

Je vais recouvrir le fil de fer de raphia et attendre qu'un oiseau vienne poser ses petites pattes sur ce perchoir. D'autres petites bêtes sous forme de breloques devraient le rejoindre, reste le problème de l'échelle de taille, je sais que ce n'est pas si important mais ça me dérange toujours.

Coccinelles, libellule, souris, escargot, chouette se sont présentées au casting en attendant abeilles, papillons et fleurs.

FULLY FINISHED GALLERY 11/23

 

It's the 10th of this month and Rachel from "Ten Hour Stitcher" welcome us and our Fully Finished achievements.

Please visit her blog and see all the finished projects of our stitching friends.

You won't believe me when you'll see what is my "Thought it was a fully finished gift" in July post, it's about the gift I made for DD1 who asked for a long crocheted squares jacket. At the end of September she told me that it was too long and now she'd like to shorten it! 

Maybe she was a bit disapointed with the result (which I think isn't so far from the tuto I followed). But she wants now to wear it at home on the couch as a comfy jacket.  So I took off two ranks and get a "waist length". 

I added that I'll keep the leftover squares just in case she changed her mind one more time, I still can make with them a tail jacket to wear for an opera night!

(I checked with her daughter if she really wears it and she does, that's the most important!).

Tout d'abord, il me faut revenir sur un ouvrage totalement fini en juillet et retourné en atelier en août !

La longue veste réalisée en assemblage de carrés crochetés pour mon aînée n'est plus à son goût, elle veut désormais un gilet court à porter à la maison pour se pelotonner sur son canapé ! Voici donc le modèle réduit de deux rangs (j'ai conservé pour le moment les carrés démontés au cas où elle changerait d'avis, je peux encore lui faire une veste à queue de pie pour une soirée à l'opéra !)

My travel laundry bag is now finished, I have cut in an old sheet a simple bag (carry-on luggage size), close by a simple cord, made two pompons and added a ribbon to hang it eventually and a small bag of lavender seeds.

Le sac de linge de voyage est terminé avec en finition deux pompons glands qui reprennent les couleurs du DMC perlé utilisé dans la broderie.

Les deux poches ont en effet été réalisées avec deux morceaux de tissu Géométry décorés de coeurs.

I wanted to sew or stitched something on it and remembered I had since years two squares with hearts stitched on a special DMC fabric called Geometry in August 2014. Why not sew them and used them as pockets.

No sooner said than done!

If you have read the last post, you have seen all the details about my First Full Finished Tunnel Book.

I'm back on tiny food, I wanted to send a mail to Soline with some small surprises as the magic card wallet so I took out my pocket of food images and since last month I have made some Chupa Chups, macarons, cakes.

My FF Christmas ornies will be showed in the Countdown to Christmas post.
