This week we’ve been away, house-sitting a beautiful place in Vercors (where we’re dreaming of moving to within a couple years) and taking care of the cats. As you can see, it’s not too shaby.. ;-) Great for the girls who can play outside all day, and great for the parents who can relax without […]

Here’s a little photo frame I made with the girls for my mum’s birthday this week-end … It was easy, quick and fun. I wrote a little tutorial to make a similar photo frame with felt appliquà©s if you want some fun too…! :-) Plus Mother’s day is still a week or so ahead here […]

Made a few gift pouches yesterday as my “Emilie Jolie” booties left us for a new home… Was fun and quick, … and I was so glad I have the tutorial to remind me of how I made them.. Ha ! ;-P Kristen sent me pics of her Isabeau purse, cute colors ! Keep sending […]

So I’m a bit late on my “blogging-schedule” this week.. Sorry ;-P Fact is I’ve been listing TONS of stuff on Ebay (all in french.. & don’t go unless you want cheap crap!) and that took most of my time ! Plus we had visits and stuff.. I’ve added new booties and assorted hats on […]

EDIT: Ooops, just realised I had published this post as “private”..so I guess nobody could actually see it..?!! ;-P P has jus grown up so fast recently. No more nappies (at least during daytime), she insists on eating with us around the table instead of her high-chair, and she’s also moved in to the “big […]

Yessss ! Received my copy of the Happy Hooker this week. :-D I finally bought it, after months of hesitation, right after I realised there was a pattern for Camilla Engmann’s beautastic crochet characters that I’ve been drooling over forever !!! Plus I had a good excuse : it’s my birthday very soon, we’ll say […]

So I made a second car, the pink and turquoise one. Encouraged by Ajour’s comment, I tried my hand at embroidering around the windows but after about half an hour and trying several different stitches, I just left it plain. I sticked to my original plan and just added Xs on the wheels. (first car’s […]
