Peg Dolls

My kids had been doing them and some talented ladies of the blogosphere had been doing them too (Tree Fall and Angry Chicken have been at it too!) and that made me extremely envious. So, it was my turn, I wanted to play too. This is my version. Mes gamins...

Peg dolls (one last time)

Just as I was making my peg dolls at home, it turns out that the kids in my son's class were planning to make some too. I could not resist the temptation to go and help... The kids had a theme to follow: Traditional costumes. Just look at the result....

Summer wardrobe

I have had this fabric for a while (Liberty?) and finally I got to cut into it. This little top is very probably to multiply! And I want the same one, but the adult patterns are rubbish! Oh and new shoes of course. Oh the spring is here..... J'avais ce...

A bit about me

Just thought that it's time I told you a bit a bout me and my family. I am a bit of a glorified Brit. I am French and came to study in Wales many many years a go (well that's what it feels like anyway!) and..... I never went home. It's all because of...

Pour moi

As I got into sewing for my daughter, it suddenly occured to me that I could make a top for ME. Why is it that the minute you have kids, your brain is completly focused on their needs and you seem to forget that you may have some too (or maybe it's just...

Projets en cours

As always, I start too many projects at once and therefore I don't have anything to show for ages and suddenly they all come together and it's a very satisfying feeling (I know, I live danderously). So today, I 'll show something old. I have done these...

Elsie

Now that I have discovered the collage function on Picasa, there is no stopping me. This blog thing turns out to be a real adventure for me: Writing which I normally hate, taking photos which is more difficult than some other blogs make it look, technical...

Spring

These photos have been taken a few days ago. As soon as the weather improves the kids rediscover the garden for...one week. Then, they are not interested except if I am in the garden. Aaarrgg! Anyway, today was sunny and my youngest is having a lot of...

Twirly top

I have this theory about patterns: A pattern being (in my opinion) quite expensive should be used at least twice to be worth it. So there you go, Butterick B4176 again but longer, fabric Liberty (sorry I don't know its little name). Sorry about the photos,...

Vintage bags

After the cushions, the bags. This remnant was not big so this is it. I am a bit sad because it is a very nice fabric. Nevermind, on to the next remant! Apres les coussins, les sacs. Ce coupon n'etait pas grand donc il n'en reste plus. Dommage car c'etait...

Festival

I live in a very priviledge part of England where people can be a bit posh and conventionel. So when the music festival comes here it's party time for everybody. The town is then full of typical festival goers (well, it's very colourful) and it's a nice...

Road trip 2007

Here we go a (very) condensed summary of our holiday. My son declared it his best holiday ever (bless him he is 7). I know it's a huge cliche but we are back from this holiday closer and we have all grown. As a result the landing is hard. Comme promis...
