GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 10/22

 

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.

    Last month, there was pie on the GG menu

but it was to be served on the 17th precisely so I couldn't post

all about it, so it's now times to come to details...

I'm coming back with my oven mitts!

The idea of a pie came and I chose different fillings :

fruits maybe apples, a lattice pie crust,

meringue and chocolate of course

Plutôt qu'un gâteau d'anniversaire, pourquoi pas une tarte

les détails de fabrication devant être gardés pour ce mois-ci

pour ne pas les dévoiler trop tôt.

This embossed paper kept from a delivery, in my paper boxe

didn't expect to become a chocolate pie,

it has be painted in brown with sewed beads

as sugar in brown and white tiny sticks

Ce papier récupéré dans un emballage gaufré

sera parfait peint couleur chocolat et agrémenté de perles

de rocaille bâtonnets brun glacé et blanc

Then a purple mirror paper for the lattice crust red fruits pie

apple slices / tranches de pomme

Deux papiers miroir en violet pour la tarte fruits rouge avec croisillons

et un vert menthe décoré avec 4 petites meringues

A celebration word glued in each piece of pie

Dans chaque part de tarte, un petit mot pour célébrer l'évenement

le tout reconstitué sur une assiette au motif de citrons

et servi avec une serviette brodée d'initiales 

I have cut a plate with lemon in my magazine

to presente the pie (the four pieces are attached together)

As I have embroidered her initials, you have guessed now

for whom was that pie!  Yummy!

I'm still knitting wool squares for DD3  BOO  cover

I have finished ranks 2 - 3 - 4    (pinned together)

rank 5  is  17 / 18

ranks 6 to 16 are already sewed and I'm hiding the leftover threads

rank 17 is   6  / 18

ranks 1 and 18 are still not totally defined, there are supposed

to be knitted in blue but I have to check on the wool balls left

I don't want to order more wool if I still have enough

mixing white/pink/black/blue to reach the 36 needed squares

 

Christmas gifts/ornaments/cards are already on my GG list

This year I will made some new felt ornies

like the electrical garland I have seen on the net

funny idea with all the energy saving tips we have on TV each day

The big question is hand sewing or machine sewing

For DD3 I want smiling light bulbs

I must be wise too and not ignore the unfinished works

I started last year (cats, wreaths...)

Right place to introduce to you Mochi, 

this little Mademoiselle is now living in DD3 home

I had my second surgery yesterday morning

left eye more painful then the right one and

now I have totally lost the close view without glasses I had

(used every day to read, sew, draw, work on the PC etc...)

but recover a clear view far with those implants!

Would be great to have arms of 2 m long to stitch!

One more month to wait for the new glasses

in the meantime I'll try to use my magnifying glass

on short embroidery sessions to avoid headaches!
