Last embroidery creations

These last days I haven't really been able to work for my shop. 

I am missing it quite a lot but hey, that is the way it is. 

Still, I managed to create these two embroidery hoops. 

I have been really happy to hand embroidered them

 ( although the sheep still has a few machine sewing stitches). 

I really enjoyed playing with patterns and colours and create little "sceneries". 

To me, each hoop tells a little story and it really makes me happy :)

Days at the farm

Last January we flew to France to spend some times at my parents farm. In there they grow organic chickens, make their own bread and marmalades and  have a wonderful vegetable garden!

Alas it was winter! So no fruits picking or garden watering this time!  Instead we spent lovely days inside the house close to the fire place and sometimes we did ventured outside, in our rubber boots trying not to slip and fall in the mud. It was lots of fun!!

Here is first selection of a few pictures I took while I was there. Due to bag restrictions in the plane, I had left my big camera at home, shame :(  Plus, it is pretty hard to take pictures while having an eye on a happy toddler wanting to discover everything!!!!
