Have you entered my contest to win the sewing book I translated yet ?!!! My nieces from Reunion island came for a visit, and their mum said she “really liked my daughter’s skirts“. She’s also the one I made that bag for, which she really seems to love (and apparently got tons of compliments on), […]
Happy easter ! The girls are with their grand-parents for a few days, and having a great time. :-) Meanwhile, I can spend time with my husband, who’s been having health issues for over a year (adrenal fatigue, anyone ?).. and work. There are translations. I’ve had the pleasure to add “Bergŕ¨re de France” to […]
Well the festivities have come and gone now, and I hope it all went well in your home ! It certainly did here, and we valued every minute of it seing all the health issues our family had to deal with in 2011. Things are looking good for the new year though, so let’s hope […]
This morning, the girls were trying to find an occupation, and decided they wanted to “sew a princess”. I said fine, start with making your pattern/template then (which let me enough time to finish breakfast). The princess first had no feet, and then had 4. A family of bugs it would be then :-) A […]
Today the girls are back to school, and my older daughter’s best friend is back home, after spending four days with us. Her mum also happens to be one of my best friend, which means we had a great time. The girls played on tons, we chatted like crazy, and sewed and crocheted together. Bliss. […]
My grand-mother passed away earlier this year, and my mum and aunts decided to give me her former sewing machine, an elna “supermatic”. It’s probably over 50 years old, but she so took such great care of it that it’s still in great shape. I found on Ebay a set of extra cams, and now […]
We just got back from 2 weeks away: went to the beach, jumped in the swimming-pool, ate tons of ice-cream to keep us cool… I managed to finish in time a third design to submit for that “One skein” crochet book. This one is for a cute little baby bolero, which I will probably also […]
So my younger daughter – she just turned 5 this summer – really wanted a mermaid Barbie doll. Why buy it when we can make it ? I found this beautiful shiny silver fabric in an op shop lately, perfect for a mermaid !! She also wanted to work on a crafting project, and do […]
I have fond memories of making banana ice-cream with my younger brother when we were kids. It was so yummy !! But a bit annoying to keep turning the ice-cream in order to avoid the flaky texture. I found this recipe in a magazine the other day, and couldn’t believe it was so simple. I […]
We’re just coming back from 5 days on the french Riviera (or nearly). It was warm, the flowers and herbs smelled beautifully as always, and the cicadas sang their lovely summery song. On the local market, I found this awesome hat. “It’s hand-crocheted” the lady said. Of course I knew, it was actually the reason […]
