Of course I have tons of “urgent” things on my list, but I couldn’t resist making a mosaic reminding me all the cool things 2011 brought…
Posts are becoming scarce on this blog. Yet I’ve been crafting quite a lot lately… but some things I couldn’t show before all the gifting was done !
I made [...]
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 :-) [...]
Life is busy here, and at the end of the day, there’s not much time for crafting… and even less for blogging about it. Yet, I have been crocheting some to double-check the new sizes I am adding to the initial Roselette top pattern. It will now include sizes up to 10 yo.. so I [...]
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 [...]
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 some [...]
This t-shirt, in size 3 yo, used to be one of the top favorites in our household. Matryoshkas, and a pretty lime color with a glimpse of red, what’s not to love ?!!!
It’s becoming really short for my second daughter though, and I tried to take it out of her drawers. Several times she snatched [...]
We’re just coming back from 2 weeks away on a faraway island, for my brother’s wedding, & I can finally show all the things I made for my now-official sister in law and their 2 delicious little girls!! :-)
Look at my 2 princesses, so happy in their beautiful dresses ! :-)
The [...]
My brother is getting married soon, on a sunny island. Color of the wedding is orange. I wanted to make dresses for the girls, searched high and low for pretty patterns on Etsy and in my sewing books… and ended up copying one of their favorite dresses.. ;-)
The extra bonus: the checkered fabric is [...]
The hood for the long-awaited adult version of the Ermeline is now done, and I reaaaaally like it. Especially when worn loose on your back. (sorry, couldn’t take any decent pics)
It’s actually so pretty I thought of getting directly into the cardigan version, except I don’t have enough of that red yarn to [...]
It’s freezing cold these days (yet still no snow at all!) and a little walk with my SIL was a good occasion to snap some pics of my new hat this week-end:
My Girouette slouchy hat looked very pretty on her. The pattern is in the final testing phase, then I’ll add it to the [...]
