OLYMPICS 2

 

Benvenuti alle Olimpiadi invernali di Milano

Les Wipolympics sont un évènement organisé par Melissa  (Measi.net)

Gérard :

" Hi, we're back commenting the Wipolympics! Our first gold medal was won by the Hockey team and here it is!"

Nelson :

"Hi to our viewers! As red 347 is done now, they might keep this perforated paper wip for the next qualification for the quaterfinals!"

Hockey sur glace

BREAKING NEWS   on  freestyle skiing!

"""

Gérard :

"Our competitor was disqualified after making many mistakes in the first run. Can you believe Nelson that the judges discovered she mixed up colors and all the work have been done in 2145 instead of 2155"

Nelson :

"OMG Gérard, it looks like she was as a skater making an axel in the middle of a hockey game!"

Gérard :

"Yes, first she was totally disappointed but her coach told her she had to go back on snow and start over!"

Nelson :

"Let's hope she'll find a piece of Aïda in her stash and be able to sign up for a new competition."

"""

Gérard :

"Do we have any better news about the bobsleigh team!"

Nelson :

Yes we do! More stitches on the flowers in the background of the Lady and the unicorn.

Gérard :

"Now, let's talk about a new sport in these Olympics, Skimountaineering!

Nelson :

So it's time to try this new event with a new technic of embroidery.

Our team chose "Gingham embroidery" called Swiss embroidery here.

Gérard:  With which fabric?

Nelson :  They only found light brown fabric and started a project with white B5200 coton perlé n°8.

FULL FINISHED GALLERY 02/26

 

It's the 10th of this month and Rachel from "Ten Hour Stitcher"

used to welcome us and our Fully Finished achievements.

Her blog is on pause but I want to keep this event as a special day welcoming our fully finished projects.

Ma machine à coudre étant réparée, j'ai repris quelques travaux de couture. Après ma première pochette berlingot j'ai demandé à DD1 si elle souhaitait autre chose dans le tissu "perf" et elle a suggéré des trousses.

J'ai donc confectionné une trousse avec un fond pour elle et une plate pour sa collègue.

J'en ai profité pour refaire un berlingot pour Charlotte elle aussi infirmière.

Les attaches des fermetures éclairs étant très petites j'ai ajouté des pompons glands pour une meilleure prise en main. Ils sont faits en coton perlé n° 5. J'ai trouvé des écheveaux de blanc B5200 XXL au salon DIY qui s'est tenu fin janvier.

Toutes mes pochettes sont doublées de drap blanc le tissu étant assez fin.

Now that my sewing machine has been repaired, I've started sewing again. After making my first berlingot candy shaped pouch, I asked DD1 if she wanted anything else made from the “perf” fabric, and she suggested pencil cases.

So I made a pencil case with a bottom for her and a flat one for her colleague.

I took the opportunity to make another pouch for Charlotte, who is also a nurse.

As the zipper pulls are very small, I added tassel pom-poms to make them easier to grip. They are made from No. 5 pearl cotton. I found skeins of white B5200 XXL at the DIY show held at the end of January.

All my pouches are lined with white sheet fabric as the fabric is quite thin.

Benvenuti alle Olimpiadi invernali di Milano

https://jocondine.blogspot.com/2026/02/programme-olympique-milan-2026.html

"Hi we are Nelson and Gérard!"

Happy to welcome you on French TV for this first day and

great opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in Milan

Such a great show! Loved all the colorful costumes,

our favorite were, of course, Mona Lisa "la Joconde"

and all the fashion / sewing accessories

But we liked too those funny Italian coffee makers!

Back to the games...

Competition started with hockey which means cross stitch on perforated paper with red thread 347 on the skirt of Spirit of Christmas Carols

Il me reste à broder un rouge 347 sur la jupe de "Spirit of Christmas Carols" de Brooke's Books, ce sera mon épreuve de hockey sur glace

Then we stayed in the ice rink and move to curling linked to Ancient Egypt JJ

gathering papers to prepare the signatures for the Junk Journal will be soon the main event but in the meantime making some ornaments

will give our curling team a funny warm up

a beaded palm tree will be great, from a pattern cut in a magazine

and making a pharaoh sarcophagus

(alike the one made for Capucine but it had to be flat this time)

so it will be a three pages :

the stone sarcophagus, the ornamental one and the mummy

to be followed

En attendant la confection des signatures, quelques bricolages pour le JJ Egypte ancienne qui compte pour l'épreuve de curling

un palmier en perles et un sarcophage et sa momie

A nice cup of tea before joining our supporters on the slopes

Free style skiing will present a new project on Aïda 7 a kit from Filanthrope Broderies : Miguel the chameleon in a giraffe costume

"our competitor tried not to use her magnifiing lamp

and made many mistakes which placed her far down in the rankings of the event"

Un nouvel ouvrage pour le sky acrobatique

mais quelques erreurs sur la toile Aïda 7

ce qui place notre compétiteur tout en bas du tableau des scores !

Bobsleigh shows the Dame à la licorne

Some progress on the flowers.

"That's the end of this first show.

See you soon with more reports on Wipolympics Games"

Gérard et Nelson ont été heureux de vous accueillir pour ce premier reportage du Wipolympics JO d'hiver 2026. A très bientôt pour de nouvelles avancées.

L'important c'est de participer !
