It's always nice to make gifts
nice too to receive some
and use them in our stitching projects.
It's great and fun to show all this and the perfect place is on Jo's blog Serendipitous Stitching on the 15th of each month for the Gifted Gorgeousness post.

For the kids, I'm always working with felt for small food.
There are two scales for me, one for the girls to play cooking and a smaller one for my fabric dolls Violette (s).
Before go in the kitchen, it would be fun harvesting vegetables.
A lot of inspiring felt work on the internet and some lovely vegetable gardens. Ground is made with brown felt and you can insert the roots between two rolls of fabric.
I'm trying to have a right scale to turn Violette into a gardener.
I'd love to make an apron, some tools, a basket, flowers and vegetables and a scarecrow. I planed to make new vegetables : leeks, cauliflower, carrots, pumpkin, red beet, salads.
Que pensez-vous de cet adorable potager réalisé en feutrine, où l'on récolte ses légumes.
Here are my first attempts :
My first cauliflower was too small and the pumpkin was too big, I must keep in mind to check the scale with the silhouette of the hand of the doll.
Premier essais : poireaux, batteraves, salades, citrouille, chou-fleur et de futures carottes.
On the net there is felt pond too, so cute with waterlilies flowers and that's one more idea on my list now. I recently bought some tiny fish buttons I could use on the water! I have to think about this new project.
Une petite mare pourrait également me tenter.
Avec des roseaux, des nénuphars, champignons et de petits boutons en forme de poisson que je viens d'acheter sur le marché de Figeac.
On one picture there are geese and frogs which remind me I made felt white geese long time ago and have some more already cut in a WIP bag somewhere. I found it in less than five minutes which is a big sign!
The patterns are ok with the doll size.
Autre signe encourageant, quelques présentations montrent des oies et canards et je me souviens d'en avoir fabriquer il y a des années pour le sapin de Noël. J'ai retrouvé mon sac contenant des pièces déjà découpées en un temps record et la taille convient parfaitement pour la poupée Violette.
Can't wait to start a new work for October and it has to be a Christmas pattern.
As birthday gifts I have received last May the pattern of an Angel from Brooke's Books and a brown antique perforated paper.
I have started with the white color of the apron, then with two red from my stash.
Un nouveau projet sur papier perforé : Mme Noël, le patron et les fournitures m'ayant été offert en mai dernier.
Here is today update
Advent season will be soon here, with lot of ideas for Christmas ornaments to give to friends, so surely more tiny felt pullovers, gnomes and home made cards.
La saison de l'avent approchant, les idées pour de nouvelles décorations de Noël vont fleurir sur le blog, aucun doute.
