and Violette is happy to show you my progress
she is finished and she is glad to have 
a warm and cozy duvet.  


Voici Violette et sa parure oreiller/édredon
terminés, une belle couette bien rembourrée
beaucoup plus confortable

La découpe des vêtements, le surfilage et la piqûre se poursuivent,

beaucoup de détails dans les pièces avec des parementures

pour les vestes et la cape

Progress on clothes too, jacket, cape, trousers, skirt, bag.

The third is ... 16/ Boule à neige - snowball  ...  which is the fourth panel of a Christmas stitching : 
Quand Noël s'en mêle - Un chat dans l'aiguille - la boule à neige

Topic for the month : What SALs are you participating in this year?

I will be faithful to my stitching friends Jo and Measi :  You Choose, Gifted Gorgeousness and Wipocalypse.
Three articles cleverly arranged in the month are a good schedule for a rhythmic participation in the blog. Choosing a good start, mid month gifts and WIP overview on the last Sunday.

This year is an olympic one so this summer I expect to meet again our couple of supporters and our two journalists for extra posts about Tokyo games.

Les trois rendez-vous auxquels je participerai cette année restent les mêmes : YC/GG/W proposés par Jo et Measi ; un bon rythme de parution d'articles répartis le long du mois.
Les jeux olympiques de Tokyo nous donnerons, j'espère, l'occasion de retrouver notre couple de souris supporters des sportifs engagés dans ces compétitions ainsi que nos journalistes : Gérard et Nelson

Of course, I add all the "blog hops" Jo organizes in Serendipitous Stitching, the next one being the Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop on Valentine's day you can still participate here :

GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 01/20

For this new year of Gifted Gorgeousness a lot of ideas for gifts, some still in progress : lotto games, doll's clothes, Zazobouzi dining set and some new works.

A visit to JO's blog will give you all informations about GG SAL and links to all the stitchers who are sharing their projects every month on the 15th.

http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2020/01/january-gifted-gorgeousness-link-up-post.html

For this January post, I can't wait to start a new project,

I have already presented you the work of  Zazobouzi  a designer who make lovely fabric kits.
I have done for my granddaughter the fox puzzle and nearly finish the dinner set. This designer always has a stall during our DIY faire so last January I have bought the "dolls kit" which contains a doll, clothes and bedding :

I was very excited to start it, can't wait to cut the fabric,

Voici Violette et sa garde robe qui comprend entre autres sa couette et son oreiller

très simples à réaliser pour un début

I have finished the duvet but stupid me want to iron it because the fabric was wrinkled

and the heat makes disappear the thickness of the polyester padding

This will be a post all about Zazobouzi because I'm working on the sugar bowl and the pitcher 

I sewed the handles of the sugar bowl in accordance with the pattern's measurements

Not what was expected! A few minutes later the result was better.
Les mesures de couture bien que respectées non pas données ce que j'en attendais donc à faire et à défaire on n'est pas à rien faire...

The cover and the button will soon be finished.
Ce petit couvercle de sucrier sera mon dernier accessoire de dînette. Bientôt le service sera complet !

Voici le pichet également terminé.

The pitcher is finished.

No doubt I will visit her next February for some purchases... GG purchases!
Zazobouzi sera présente lors du prochain salon DIY début février, de futurs achats en vue bien certainement !

WIPOCALYPSE 2020 INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Wipocalypse introduction! 

Bienvenue à la présentation du programme du Wipocalypse pour l'année 2020 !

Each month we have to share the projects we want to complete before the End Of The World.  Measi always gives us a topic to discuss too.

January - Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year

So many DIY   to do, 

I love fabric, wool, threads, paper, ink, beads, watercolor...

sewing, stitching, scrapbooking, knitting, crochet...

and cooking, gardening, writing, playing with the great children of course!

photographing, painting, drawing, reading,

all done with a warm cup of tea and music!      after some  warm-up   (for the olympic games)!

I have joined the Wipocalypse sometimes in 2015-2016-2017

then in 2019 with a "19 in 19"   taking example on clever stitching friends.

It was great so I'm still following this way for this new year  "20 in 20".

J'ai participé occasionnellement depuis 2015 au Wipocalypse organisé par Measi's Musing.
J'affiche de grandes ambitions pour 2020 en espérant pouvoir écrire chaque mois y compris à l'occasion des jeux olympiques de Tokyo avec un programme de "20 en 20" !

I hope that I'll be able for 2020 to post every month, this year is an olympic year, I will use the same way I posted for Rio games during the summer and visite Tokyo with my needles (and a shoehorn!).

    avec l'aide d'une petite fée et de sa baguette magique, parole de Jocondine, 2020 sera bien occupée

with the help of a fairy and her magic wand, no doubt 2020 will be busy

See you at the end of this month, last Sunday for our first review.

Retrouvons-nous le dernier dimanche de janvier pour un premier bilan.

YOU CHOOSE 01/20

Premier rendez-vous avec le "You choose" de la nouvelle année, le thème est Lizzie Kate qui est une créatrice de modèles de point de croix très populaire. Une chance pour moi, j'ai brodé un gratuit pour Halloween.

You choose is a SAL hosted by JO at Serendipitous Stitching

http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2020/01/the-people-chose-lizziekate.html

First I worried about this theme because I thought I wouldn't be part of this first YC post,

but even if I never found Lizzie Kate charts in the shops I visited, I love the designs and looking on a review of her frees I recognize an Halloween freebie I finally found in old files, so...

Back to November 2014

That's the only picture I found but the "o o" buttons are missing!

Love ABC Kits, writing and the series, as our DIY fair will be at the end of this month, I'll go looking for new charts.

You will with no doubt found a lot of great posts showing nice Lizzie Kate stitchings visiting Jo's Blog.
