WIPOCALYPSE 07/19

Le Wipocalypse SAL donne leur chance à quelques ouvrages d'être terminés avant la fin du monde...
Mon projet pour 2019 a été, suivant l'exemple d'amies brodeuses, de choisir 19 travaux en cours (selon la liste ci-après) et de leur offrir une éventuelle bonne fortune cette année.

17 - loto feutrine / 18 - cuisine pour dinette - feutrine / felt / 19 - dinette Zazobouzi /


11 / 17 are finished, I wrote about 2 here, in "triple axel" post.


The end of June was too busy with my granddaughter birthday but since I have finished "2".

I have focused on 14 / 15 / 16, three of the four scenes of "Quand Noël s'en mêle" from "Un chat dans l'aiguille".

I work on this Christmas board from February 2016, 25 colors, 23 different stitches, four scenes to embroid and then I'll have to sew them on a large red fabric after finish the patterns on the panel.


A little flash back to re-introduce the project

Voici une petite présentation du kit Quand Noël s'en mêle pour rappel de ce projet sur lequel j'ai travaillé ces dernières semaines pour finaliser bientôt trois des quatre scènes à broder.

First goal : finish the colored threads then use the silver/gold metallic threads. I'll have to wash the pieces before sewing some tiny felt pieces.

Some details of the WIP on Santa,

gifts decorations, Santa's coat, stars,

On Nativity scene,  stars,

 On the sleigh/snowman : birds, flowers, gold threads.

Melissa gives us a topic : How do you get yourself out of a stitching drought?

Never felt some ideas drought, since I'm a kid every day dozens of ideas come to me. Many notebooks full of notes, drawings, ideas to upgrade or change things I have bought.

Magazines, books, family know-how - thanks to Granny, Mum and Dad - were a good fertilizer and with internet now "no comment". 

If there is a small drop in courage just switch from cross stitching to knitting, to embroidery, to drawing, to scrapbooking, to crochet, to watercolor, to writing, to photography, to any new diy work.....

the horn of abondance...

Pour terminer, toujours notre petit clin d'oeil à la Lune et bien sûr en ce mois anniversaire du premier pas sur notre satellite, un hommage à Hergé...

To conclude, always our little wink to the Moon and of course in this anniversary month of the first step on our satellite, a tribute to Hergé....
