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!!!!

Happy rainy cloud

 On Saturday, the weather was so beautiful in here! For the first time in ages, it really looked and smelled like Spring! In the garden, flowers are blooming, in the streets the trees are in flowers too, it is so beautiful!!
And it's the day I chose to embroider a new cloud design, yet, I swear I am not missing the view of clouds! Not even for a second! Still, here it is, a little pastel pink cloud, filled with fibres and stitched on a grey cotton fabric.

Petit oiseau

 Back from some winter holidays in France, I took some cute fabrics back with me. Inspired with the country life in my parents farm, I forgot the mud and gave a spring mood to my new little bird embroidery design.

The week end is now heading over, and I wish everyone to spend a wonderful time doing fun and relaxing things with the ones you love!

Bonus : the reality …..

Living by the sea

No sandy beach and yes, it is definitely a little bit windy, but still it is really a great feeling to have the opportunity to live close to such a peaceful place.

Felt ornaments : Valentine's Day hearts

I have had lots of fun making these little hanging hearts. 

I call them Valentine's Day hearts but honestly they are good for any occasion : to decorate a baby bedroom, as a gif tag for a birthday  and (for those of you who like to really plan things ahead :) !) they even would be lovely as Christmas tree decorations. 

New cards designs

Just a little update on the new designs I made for my cards in my Etsy shop. 

I have tried something new, redrawing my originals with my tablet and colouring from the computer directly. I love experimenting, it is really a great process, to try, fail, try again and again till you achieve your goal. 

And a BIG heart, print of my original oil pastel drawing…
Valentine's Day is getting close, I have a few cards projects related to it.  Also a little heart shaped felted tag project so I start to see heart shapes even in my dreams… Could be worse but still…… ^^
