Let's say ...

it's late at night and you have your ready for a late dance. You know you have only some stitches ahead so you are very excited because you know a new project is already waiting for you That's when everything gets nasty: you are stitching the bunny's feet, still very happy and excited , then when you grab the pink thread you need, you realise a little detail : there won't be enough pink thread to dance tonight So you put back the to where it belongs and cancel the and wait to the next morning when you can dig into your closet and fish the missing thread And here it is :

I'm glad it's finshed because those little bunnies were having a lot of fun and I was afraid of becoming a grand'ma ... 20 y.o. is too young to become a grand'ma, right? By the way, the colors of the fabric are close to the "true" colors.


This afternoon, I started Oh christmas tree: I'll show you tomorrow the first scan !!!

Look at him !!!!

Do you see any blushing? Nope ... The little fellow seems to really appreciate the non- french kiss

There is a lot of white in his ears Not too fond of the white DMC (okay, I admit it: I HATE the white DMC ) I need to stitch faster because the girls of my SAL are wondering what I am doing, right Celeste?



Yesterday, I managed to fall in love. Yes, I'm already hearing you shouting at me: AGAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN !? Understand, I can't fight love. And of course, it's all against my will Here is my new love:

Isabella's garden I have Emma's garden and I will buy that one too. The designer even encourage us to change the colors And she's also going to release a boy for her grand son.


Now I have to tell you about a strange magnetic phonomenon that occurs in my appartment. In my kids' bedroom, the toys, shoes or cards are inevitably attracted by a strange and unknown force. I know it is a natural phenomenon because I do clean under those beds REGURLARLY I can't just believe that Mrs shoe left Mr Shoe to have a secret affair with Mr slipper under the bed ... Or could it be that one Pokemon jumped out of his Pokemon bag because he was having a major breakdown and couldn't stand Piccachu electric behavior anymore ... I don't know but I think some serious scientists should come here and study this strange phenomenon ... I wonder if we are the only ones with weird things happening in their homes ...

Yep, she made her move ....

While I was silent, this little girl didn't wait for me to tell her all about birds and bees

First, she grabbed his hands
Then she brought her head closer ...

To finally kiss the boy!

You'll notice, he doesn't look very distraught ... I even suspect him to somewhat appreciate the moment I also want to thank you for your nice and funny comments last time. They really made me smile or laugh


Yesterday was the first day of sale day!!! There is two seasons of sales in france: winter and summer. They both last one month. So I went out yesterday to try to get some clothes for the kids. I like to get it at 50 % I also checked the cross stitch online shops to see what goodies they have to offer but was rather disapointed ... I did find something for 2 of my PIF friends Can't tell you what of course but now THEY are going to think what it can be If you want to check the french web sites, click on the word " SOLDES " !!!


I don't have any cross stitch new year resolutions but like many of you, I have some health / weight related resolution. I want to loose weight. If you see my hidden ticker ( the one at the bottom of the blog ... ) , you'll see I have some weight to loose: minimum 5 kg (about 10 pounds ). Yesterday, when I tried some clothes I was desesperated ... They all fit so bad on me ... I bought 2 sweaters yesterday but it was really because I needed some. France is ruled by fashion: to look fine, you have to wear the clothes that are fashionable and the fashion for some time now is the close fitting clothes . With the 3 pregnancies , my weight is mainly around my belly ... so you can imagine how close fitting clothes can look on me IN Germany, at the base, I managed to buy Shape and Fitness magazines. In Texas I used to have a subscription to both. I always find them so motivating (with their success stories ) and full of tips on how to stay fit and live healthy. I always liked to excercice but now I have a bad knee so I have to be careful when I exercice. On monday, I started my program: mainly at home exercice. The one I know they work very well. I know I also need to add cardio. I am thinking on buying a DVD. Any suggestion? I don't want to be very skinny but I want to feel okay with the clothes I am wearing and be able to buy more fashionable clothes I am hoping to exercice 4 to 5 days a week !!! I did it this morning.


I scanned the head of my fairy so you can see a close up of what took me 3 times to stitch !!! Enjoy !
