9/  Feutrine - felt

A new creation, this month : a pineapple, funny to make, I added to my fabric sausage little felt square folded and finished it with green leaves.

Topic of the month : What new charts or designers are catching your eye this year?

My answer is the continuation of You Choose post, because it will be Cuore e Batticuore and the knitting theme chart I started on July 1st, stitching every day since. Olympics games should have been a big part of my 07/20 Wipocalypse so it was like a "replacing" challenge.

From 5 to 14, it went well, it was nice and fun to take this lovely chart every afternoon,

Then I received a visit...

Only a few stitches from the scarf were wrong, but...

I finished the knitting girl on last Thursday and looking to her saw the space between her head and the upper border looking a bit small... bad count when I started to stitch the hair...

Maybe I should wear this hat to protect me from
errors,

La fin de la semaine fût occupée à pénéloper mes bêtises et me voilà repartie !
I am back on work after a frogging end of week!

GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 07/20

If you love gifts, love to receive them and to make them too, it's perfect timing for the Gifted Gorgeousness Post and participate in Jo's SAL.

June and July are birthday's month in DD1 family, so I stitched a card for Capucine 4 years birthday.

14th of July is our National Day but also birth days for my eldest daughter, her son and DD3 godfather

Her brother will get a popsicle right for this warm season.

Her Mum will received my first attempt of shacking card,  made from a kit I bought recently.

 The tricky part of the DIY is to use
the tiny strass, stars... which fly everywhere when you only make a slow move.

Finally you got them on your hands, on the clothetable, on the floor, on your dress, on the self-adhesive card but not in the spaces they should go before you stick the all thing.

It's still fun to make.

Quelques cartes d'anniversaire pour enfant et parents.

Capucine get a lovely second hand Playmobil house and an extra outfit for her doll.

Part of "pyjama challenge" was a suitbath for Violette n° 1 ; un maillot de bain pour les vacances à la mer.

Violette n° 2 has a new home now,
she is settled in Chalons en Champagne
with Soline (my goddaughter's 4 years old daughter).



I sent her the doll with the clothes and a "pear" seat, put some tiny magazines in the bag and add a new creation : a campfire.

An old camembert box, some slates for the base, pebbles, twigs and moss from the garden and a led candle!

Un feu de camp pour Violette, une base de couvercle de boîte de camembert, des ardoises pour
la base, cailloux, branches de bois et mousse du
jardin pour entourer la bougie en led.

I only have to sew her a sleeping bag and the doll will be ready for some holidays.

I'll surely have to make one for Capucine to go with the hammock I'm crocheting.

I want to be part of Clare's Christmas tree project this year, so I'll have to stitch a flower so she'll have a big bouquet.

Looking for a chart in my cross stitching encyclopedie I thought of a cornflower, I finally got lucky visiting DMC site because the free flower they proposed is this one :

Voici mon projet de fleur pour l'arbre de Noël que Clare de Aimetu's stitching prépare pour sa paroisse, le thème de cette année étant de composer un bouquet de fleurs comme l'explique l'article dont vous trouverez le lien ci-après.

Here is where I am now...

YOU CHOOSE 07/20

Welcome to "The people choose", it's Jo's SAL about what you want to see on blogs. First Saturday of the month, you can share with your stitching friends a post whose topic has been put to the vote.

This month theme is about the designer you have stitched the most.

https://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-people-chose-designer-they-have.html

Statistically speaking I'm selecting "Cuore & Batticore" I love a lot and stitched three charts :

Halloween  - I love Halloween in the rain - J'adore Halloween sous la pluie

Les patins d'argent - Pattini d'argento - Silver skates "Christmas is... skating on ice... with you"

Six personnages de Noël - Sei personaggi in cerca di Natale - Six Christmas characters

They are both waiting for home made frames, black fabric with charms for Halloween 

and a white wool frame for the skaters

It gives me 8 finishes and 2 WIP.

Six different characters to stitch                I made this one for a Christmas in July exchange

Stitched on two different fabric, the sixth is almots finished.

I certainly will made a finish as six small ornies with a ribbon like the designer picture shows them

http://cuoreebatticuorericamoecucitocreativo.blogspot.com/

Régulièrement de nouveaux modèles sur le blog tous plus jolis les uns que les autres et très tentants !

They have a lot of new patterns I found lovely

I immediatly felt the fever of cross stitching back

on a "only follow the pattern work"

the little voice that tells you just buy the chart, the fabric, the colours

and make it!

The shop where I can find the supplies had the good idea to open on Monday's afternoons

since a few weeks, as it's day off work for DH, I got a driver (I didn't get the appointment

I needed with the ophtalmologist with the Covid issue and cataract added to vision lost

I don't feel save to drive alone at the other end of the town).

Un petit tour dans La Boutique de Brode 41 après la visite chez l'ophtalmo...

Here are the two charts I selected

Voici les deux modèles que j'ai choisi pour calmer une poussée de fièvre brodeuse.

Looking for the pictures on the internet, see what appeared when I selected "Cuore & Batticuore"

Hart to hart movies, the French name is : "for the love of risk" which can be sometimes so true due to my troubles in cross counting.

Melissa who's hosting the Wipocalypse SAL, said that July will be

one project focus month. I never participated in an every day stitching event

very tempting for this new chart, so...

day 1

day 2

day 3

day 4

They have posted a lot of free charts on they FB page, so here is one for you

The other designer I want to show you is "Brin par brin"

I love the way they sell their patterns, very useful little notebook, plastic-coated pages,

I made only this funny rabbit on the first serie,

the six charts of  "Marché de Noël" - Christmas market

and those lovely stitching birds too.
