Only a few more stitches in light blue,

May is my birthday month and I have been spoiled by friends

Mon nouveau sac d'ouvrage colorisé et personnalisé par Soline
Soline put colors on this lovely bag and
named it "the little crafts from Jocondine"
from her past trip to England
a nice stitching from Textile Heritage
Maybe it waited for my bithday bell to ring!
No need to tell you that it will probably be my next "small"
Un petit souvenir rapporté de Londres par DD2 qui attendait que sonne l'heure de mon anniversaire...
sur Big Ben
During our holidays in Changé we spent a day with my aunt and uncle
in Malicorne sur Sarthe for a big exhibition of embroidery
DH aunt bought some tombola tickets and...
she won a brooch she gave to me
All the prices were made by craftperson of the year
this one is made using the "Beauvais stitch"
Dominique avait acheté des billets de tombola lors de notre visite
à Malicorne sur Sarthe pour les JEMA et la chance lui a fait gagner
cette superbe broche réalisée par une meilleure ouvrière
au point de Beauvais. M'en voici l'heureuse bénéficiaire !
Remember last month birthday card for Pierre one year old
here he is...
Crochet : I'm back with a new project for Capucine
A summer dress made with crocheted squares
now I know that I can crocheted seven/eight squares
with a ball, not sure it'll be enough for the dress and
going back to the store I only get one more ball.
So after seeing Capucine and checked the mesurements
I'm planning to crochet a top and see if I can make a skirt
and assemble them together with another wool or only make a long top.
Et voici Capucine, l'acrobate après une chute en grimpant à un arbre? Entorse plâtrée !
And here's Capucine, the acrobat who fell while climbing a tree?
Sprain in plaster!
I have now a total of 28 squares which means I've got
4 ranks of 7 for the skirt part of the dress maybe only
3 ranks of 8 if it needs to be larger
Another fitting session with my top model soon!
Pour réfléchir au montage des carrés crochetés pour la robe
de Capucine une nouvelle séance d'essayage s'impose donc
en fonction de la largeur désirée je réaliserai des rangs
de sept à huit carrés.
