Last creations

So lately, I have been making more houses. I really enjoy building these little crooked things :)  They have been cut into remnants of different fabrics and appliquéd on a white cotton background. They are entirely hand embroidered.

And I have also made a new bird. This one has been made with the sewing machine again, with th free motion embroidery technique.

Spring colours

Lately, I have been inspired a lot by the revival of the nature around me. 

We had some lovely walks in our area and it's always wonderful to glimpse at new flowers blooming and trees getting green again. 

My last embroidery speak of spring, of new bloom of smell and colours. 

They taste spring, they have the colours of spring! 

Happy House

My very last creation. 

A mix between free motion embroidery and hand embroidery. 

Its very colourful and happy, I am pleased with the result :)

Free motion embroidery and appliqués.

My three last creations! 

I have been really enjoying using my sewing machine to draw and create directly on the fabric. 

This free motion / free hand method requires a little bit of training of course, but the results are so beautiful!  It allows for so much freedom and creativity, that my mind is constantly mixing colours, patterns for new ideas and designs. 

A sailor and the sea

Spring is here, the weather is getting better (well, it's Uk, it's still a bit chilly of course) 

and I am starting to think of Holidays by the Seaside. 

But, wait, I live by the seaside :) Yay, soon, we'll head to the beach for long days playing with the sea and building sandcastles and eating ice creams! 

Can't wait!

                                                 Wishing you all a nice week end :)

you guess the story ,)

Happy Monday to every one ^^

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!!!!
