A quoi ca ressemble?
Une citrouille?
Je connaissais un lien avec un tuto pour faire des cirtouilles et je ne le retrouve pas!
Alors apres une visite chez Mr. Google, j'ai trouve un tuto dont je me suis inspiree.
Connaissez vous un tuto a citrouille? Merci!What do you think it is?
A pumpkin?
I knew a tutorial to sew pumkin but I can't find it again. So I search on Google and I found one that I used for the most part.
If you know a good tutorial, please let me know...Thanks!

Halloween arrive!
Je ne brode pas pour Halloween mais cette annee j'ai trouve une petite grille sympa gratuite et j'avais besoin d'une deco...j'en ai besoin de plusieurs... mais on commence par celle la!
Un ruban noir fronce et un petit bouton comme finition, le coussinet est accroche!
La grille est chez Laureline Broderie.
I usually don't stitch for Halloween but this year I found a cute freebie and I needed a deco for the house...I need several...but I'll start with this one! I finished it with a small button and a ruffled ribon I made.
The freebie is on Laureline Broderie's blog.

le mois dernier Nathalie soufflait ses bougies....pour l'occasion un petit souvenir fait pour elle. La boite doit faire 8 cm x 4 cm je crois. Et l'interieur renferme des tresors de brodeuse.

Last month Nathalie was celebrating her birthday. As a friendshipp gift I decorated this little tin box for her. Inside, what stitchers love! the tin box I believe is 3 1/2 in x 1 1/2 in

Le mois dernier un petit week end express en Floride. Mon mari traaillait sur un projet au Kennedy Space Center and la NASA organisait a ce moment la de sportes ouvertes pour leurs employes pour celebrer la dernier mission de la navette Discovery le 1 novembre. Nous etions donc invite! Nous avons passe un super week end. Visite de la salle de control, des batiments d'assemblage... et bien sur la navette sur son plan de decollage. Maintenant nous attendons le 1 novembre pour voir partir NOTRE navette!
Last month we went to Florida for a week end to be part of the NASA's open house organised for their employes. My husband was working on a project at the Kennedy Space Center then and we were invited. That was awesome. We had a blast! We visited mission control, the assembly building... and of course Discovery on its launching pad. Now we are waiting for November 1st, for the last trip of OUR shuttle Discovery!

Relax!

Each mission has a commemorative plaque with the date it laft and the date it returned. Challenger doesn't have a return date!

The Thread Basket

Before Starting stitching the SAL I wanted to stitch a little more of the :Sampler Nostalgie" from les Grilles de Maryse. I started stitching las spring but with the move and everything else I did not go too far. I worked on it the last past few weeks and it's progressing. I'll take a break while stitching the SAL Christmas but I just wanted to show it off. I think it looks great stitched in red (DMC 815).

The chart is for sale at The Thread Basket...


J'ai commence le "Sampler Nostalgie" des Grilles de Maryse au printemps mais avec le demenagement et tout le reste je n'avais pas beaucoup avance. Je l'ai reprit depuis car je voulais l'avancer un peu avant d'entreprendre le SAL de Christmas. J'ai bien avance et je trouve qu'il est bien beau en rouge (DMC 815). Je fais faire une pause cependant pour broder le SAL Christmas...je peux pas tout faire!!!!
