SMALLS SAL 06/26

 

 

Rachel used to host the Smalls SAL, on the last Friday of the month everyone is encouraged to post about small stitchings and I'd love to join this SAL regularly adding sometimes my small DIY.

Smalls SAL était organisé par Rachel et nous propose de montrer nos petites broderies. J'aimerai bien y participer régulièrement et ainsi avoir un nouveau rendez-vous sur le blog le dernier vendredi du mois en y ajoutant quelque fois mes petits bricolages.

The smallest things I did this month are undoubtedly the cocktail glasses and tacos for my couple of aficionados mice involved in the FIFA WC challenge.




The felt strips of corn kernels could count too.




Côté petites réalisations du mois : grains de maïs et tacos en feutrine et verres de tequila ou pina colada pour mes souris fans de foot.

2/ FIFA 2026 WITH MELISSA

 

Second show about FIFA World Cup event with Melissa from Measi.net

From 11th June to 19th July


I have given a call to my journalists friends who usually hosted the TV show for the OG : Nelson and Gérard and my couple of mice as the fan team to support the players.


Depuis le début de la Coupe du Monde de Football le 11 juin dernier Melissa de chez "Measi's musings" organise un nouveau challenge pendant la compétition.

J'ai invité mon équipe de journalistes et mon couple de souris rebaptisé "aficionados" pour l'occasion.

Nelson:

With this second match won 3-0 how is the coach feeling?


Gérard:

Good! France will meet Norvège next Friday and the result will give us the final standings for the groupe I.

On the way to the round of 32!


Nelson:

What about Jocondine's challenges? Any progress? 


Gérard:

Well, with this jet lag thing it's not easy to knit or sew during the games so it's most often afternoon work which will be shown. And this start under high temperatures 37°C/41°C won't be very productive I'm afraid.

So let see how our mascots are progressing on their goals


Clutch is in charge of knitting 

Last measurement of the blue angora scarf was 92 cm

the referee can now attest 106 cm!





Maple is the team coach of fans

and papers works

the mysterious foldings were...

pigs legs!



I saw those bouncing guys on the internet

and tried them to welcome Capucine for her 10 years old birthday party.

TROYES

I know we are travelling around the country with the Tour de France but we had a small trip to Troyes and I want to share some pictures. We discovered a lovely town not too far from home with a lot to visit during four warm and sunny days.


Old town with half timbered houses
and the famous cats alley



Cats used to jump from roof to roof











Old apothicary, so many boxes the perfect place for me








La cité du vitrail -    Stained glass  museum








A closer look on the scene about the visit of Henri IV





















Quelques jours pour découvrir Troyes, sa vieille ville, la ruelle aux chats, ses maisons à colombage, l'apothicairerie et la cité du vitrail,
le musée de la Renaissance en Champagne.
