+++ Tea Time & Olga & Bolis

Hello everyone,

Since last post, I have completed Emmanuelle's Tea Timechart

And Paulette's chart:

I have done both Cat and Dog then still look for the frames for these lovely animals.
If you have any good frame idea, let me know please?
I wanna kinda rustic one, but could not find any good one.....
Olga & Boris
Paulette's sample one was very nice, and found that was from family tree frames in Crescent Colours. Somebody knows how do I get it?

And also I saw my daughter's costume for Book character's day! She wants to be Alice from Alice in wonderland!!!
I spoke with her and we decided to wear school summer dress with white Alice's Apron, very much lacy and frilled...

Here it is the apron I made for her!!



Took 4 hours that was worthy because she really loves it!!

But this apron reminds me - Maid in Akihabara (Tokyo) haha.....
Anyway, this was very cute and I look forward to see her in school with other costumed friends!

One more also...

I have received Monique Lyonnet's new book from Amazon France. This is a lots of red and white textiles charts in the book. I really love it!

+++ Tea Time ( two another charts)

Tea time à pois

When I found this charm, I was shocked because so pretty and I used to have red and white spots pot in my kitchen!
And I emailed her to get the Tea time à pois charts. Fortunately, Emmanuelle was happy to give me a chart and I just started to stitch them. However, there were some one over one stitch and I choose 32ct linen..... that was quite hard to stitch small bits.

nine teapots
And I got another pots charts from Chris who designed my favorite chart candles. She has had some free charts in her site. I really want to stitch all of them. I love her taste so much! Can't wait to see another her design.

Hope you may like them!

+++ Tea Time

Tea Time

Finally, I have started to stitch the "Tea time" from the magazine "le style anglais" for 2 weeks, because I've been very busy.
Hope I could have a time to stitch, but I really need to know how to manage a lots of coulors of threads, because so easy to confuse the coulors and numbers.
Can somebody tell me how to manage many different colours, please?

Are you using this kinda cards?

+++ Emma's Rose (4) April 2010

Emma's Rose

Finally, I have completed the "Emma's Rose" on the last day of March.
I was not satisfied the face of Emma.. because she was not smiling and has got ugly nose in it.
I did not like my finishing on her face, that reminded me more more practicing and stitching.
I really found stitching was not coloring, so have to practice to draw with threads.
It will not be easy, so my challenge will be continued.....

Next my project:
Because I won the back number of French Stitching magazine "DE FIL EN AIGUILLE" on eBay -
DE FIL EN AIGUILLE has discontinued already, I really was disappointed when I heard that news.
I was so lucky to find this magazine, and that issued January 2009, and said
"LE STYLE ANGLAIS" (English Style)
It has got 30 creations (said "made in England") lol
Really like Cath Kidston spiritual items, very much English- ish!! lol

le style Anglais

Of course, I was inspired by some "English style" tea time charts, so I will combine some tea cups and
teapot design in "French style":
Tea Time

I am still thinking about the fablic and threads...
Will let you know as soon as I found them.
Happy stitching and see you soon!!
