GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 07/22

 

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.

Busy days since last month, so maybe you'd like to take a cup of tea

or coffee before you start reading this post...

Capucine's birthday was on June 30th

and she'd like a coffee machine, 

we bought this one which is really 

pouring water in the cup.

I made some accessories like small

cream pods, coffee bags, sugar cubes,

and...

no it's not a strange animal with two eyes...

it's a felt "coffee with marshmallows"

I started those three July birthdays cards in June

and here are the finished pop up pour Timothé and his mother

I have added some felt flowers and plants, small feathers, and glitters

The small kitchen for Régis has been sent too

J'ai ajouté un torchon et deux manettes

I have made a tea towel and two potholders

I like the way the cake in the oven look like

puis j'ai confectionné une lampe avec un tube de crème vide

then I have found a tuto to make a small lamp

Looking real my friend Roselyne searched the button to light it up!

I'm always looking for some new craftings for Violette (s)  doll

why not a pizza oven

I made a model in paper 

How great to find the wood looking cardboard tray

kept in my paper box (from my best friend Mr Justin Case)

Fresh breads for Violette, it will smell good in her kitchen!

Confection de pain en feutrine posés sur ces palettes aspect bois

réalisées avec un fond de barquette (dans mon stock de "Okazou")

another idea leads me to think she could collect honey from a hive and I remember having seen a beekeeper Barbie months ago     I'm stitching kind of cells on brood frames on a piece of look like Aïda    with 3 threads of DMC  832/833/834

  

(it's a big piece from my Mum stash, if you have some good ideas

to use ugly cloth, I'm interested)

L'autre idée qui a germé et prend forme maintenant

est de réaliser une ruche avec ses cadres, les alvéoles brodées

sur une toile récup et des perles pour le miel

After a few tries, I like the result

I'm adding clear beads to look like honey on one side 

I'll have to make a box to hang them folded in two

and sew a beekeeper hat for Violette to be safe

Bien sûr, Violette aura besoin d'un chapeau avec voile

pour devenir sans danger une apicultrice bio bien sûr

GG knitting is the wool cover for DD3, half July score is :   216

and I have started sewing nine "lines" together 

 Côté couverture de laine "Boo", le total des carrés s'élève à mi-juillet à 216 et j'ai commencé le montage des lignes en cousant ensemble neuf lignes assemblées

Can I call it a "shadowie" the sun in your back version of a selfie?

YOU CHOOSE 07/22

 

First Saturday of July means that I have to post about a topic chosen by our stitching friends. This SAL is run by Jo from Serendipitous Stitching, it's about what you want to see on the blog. 

The result of the votes for this month was : "Pets".

First, some cats, let me introduce you to Darjeeling most often called DarJ, our neighbour's cat choosing to have a nap on my stitching. We renamed all the cats visiting us with tea names. She is older now, less visit and no more climbing on the table. She prefers to stay on our wood pile to keep an eye on the surroundings.

Most of my stitched cats are black! Those from the little house...

These are probably pets by day and superheroes by night

I found two white cats : this one dreaming of Christmas

(waiting for a future patchwork cover)

and a felt one I made last winter for my friends R & R

Two Chritmas cats from Advent Calendar Brookes Book

and Christmas market by Brin par Brin

Une patineuse et un stand bien appétissant

Cats on fabric - de petis chats sur mes tissus

and  now  some dogs

Some ornies inspired by Debbie's dog Sully

and two pets in my Advent Calendar  (day 3 and day 21)

and two goldfishes on day 11

Some funny cats in watercolor cards

We call them NAC (nouveaux animaux de compagnie), new pets?

Miguel  the Cameleon from Filanthrope Broderies could be part of this post and as he got more than 150 outfits I'm sure he would become a great companion.
