As the temperatures are dropping here in Colorado I am enjoying the last flowers of the garden.
I am wearing a pair of jeans today, for the first time in 6 months...

Good bye summer...

It's October. Happy Fall. 

Few things I made to put me in the mood.

I made a while back Christmas letters. I bought papier mache letters and covered them with scrap booking paper...see here. 

This year I made FALL. Always fun to do.

 

  

To decorate a little more I embellished some candle holders with fall ribbons to go with my lace one. 

I have crafty fingers right now ;) 

 Last little project for the season...my decorative rusty light outside has fall colors. Ribbon, flame less candle and tiny fall decoration.

Enjoy the season.

Well, I went to Hobby Lobby for I don't remember what but I found the perfect support for my SAL Rosalie. It is a Metal chalkboard. As soon as I saw it I said..."This is IT"

 

All I needed was some batting, rick rack and my best friend, fabric glue! I love the result, it is simple, the black brings up all the pinks and greens. 

I might just buy more of those chalkboards ;)

SAL Rosalie by Sablaise

Started to stitch again....Sablaise organized a lovely SAL "Rosalie". Done in 4 weeks, this is the result on a 30 ct Garden Slate linen with Atalie and white DMC threads.
I don't know how to finish yet but I sure will show you the final result.

Rosalie

Hello from Colorado....I am back.

It has been way too long since I wrote a note here.
Many things have changed, The Thread Basket is now closed, I am working full time outside the house and I am stitching...yeah!

Meet me here time to time and let's talk stitching ;)

Hope everybody is fine.

A temps pour Noel, les dentelles de mon arriere grand mere seront des fetes. Tout simplement enroulees autour de petit bougeoirs en verre et une bougie sans flamme.  Dans la lancee j'ai egalement decore un petit vase de dentelle et quelques artifices pour lui donner un air de fetes.

Les bougeoirs sont du plus joli effet le soir.

Bonnes fins de preparations de Noel a tous.

 

Just finished for Christmas.  On small candle holders I wrapped some of my great grand mother's laces and placed a no flame candles in it. While I was at it, I also decorated a small vase I had with a different lace and some holidays decoration so it looks more Christmas.

The candle holders are beautiful when lite at night. 

Have fun finishing preparing for Christmas.

Une soudaine envie de dentelle....  ca seche

Suddenly want to do something with lace... it is drying

 

 

 

 

Voila, c'est fini....jusqu'a 9 heures du soir j'etais ciseaux en mains a decouper puis coller...je me suis amuser comme une folle. Super facile a faire et resultat assure. A vous de choisir de jolis papiers suivant vos gouts...Je rappelle, lettres en papier mache recouvertes de papier scrapbook et quelques ajouts brillants. Si bien que j'ai eu une commande d'une demoiselle pour sa chambre....Allez je vais acheter de nouvelle lettres.

Joyeux Noel!

 Tadam....I am done. I was cutting and gluing until 9 pm last night. I wanted to finish my last letter. So much fun. Very easy to make et the result is neat. You just need to pick toe scrapbook papers of your choice. Remember you just need some paper mache letters you cover with paper, I also added some sparkles. The youngest lady of the house loved it and place an order for her room...well, time to go shopping.

Merry Christmas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Trop occupee cette annee pour faire des decos pour Noel. Tant pis je me rattraperais l'annee prochaine. Cependant, je n'ai pu resister a commencer un petit quelque chose qui ne va pas me prendre trop de temps.  Des lettres en papier mache, des feuilles de papier de Noel pour scrapbook, une paire de cisseaux, un crayon de papier et de la colle... Je vous montre des que j'ai fini!

Too busy this year to make many Christmas decorations. It is alright, I'll catch up next year. 

However, I could not resit to start a little something that is not going to take me a lot of time to make. Some paper mache letters, some Christmas scrapbook paper, glue, a pencil and a pair of scissors...

 I will show you as soon as I am done!

De chaque cote j'ai mis un flocon de neige en papier et un bouton que j'ai recouvert de tissu vert pour la finition.

 My SAL 2012 The Thread Basket / Tournicoton is done. I finished the stitching and finished it as a small bolster pillow or needle roll. I might have gather to close to the big snowman, he is stuck in the fold of the fabric. Oh well, I am still happy of the result. On both ends I fixed a paper snowflakes and a fabric covered button.

SAL 2012 is ready for Christmas. When you will have your pictures ready please send them to me I would love Anne to see what you did with her chart.
