What do you mean where was I ?

No, I didn't really disapeared but I've been quite busy lately. Sorry about that ... It's been so long that I didn't even wrote my easter report ... Oops!

The kids had a great easter eggs hunt. The easter bunny was pretty generous this year and brought BIG eggs ( and I'm not even kidding. ) Even thgough they were big, Steb almost missed some of them.

That one was a great Spiderman egg.

And when you open it, it's still huge (yes, he seems to appreciate it ):

Then we went to my grand'ma who had bought candies the kids don't like ( like always... And no, it's not because she's old : she's always been that way ... really ! )

And a cute picture of Pierre that day ( ah! the teenager years ... ):

And here is my cute baby, just because he's cute !!!

I'm not stitching much lately ( am I loosing my mojo? Scary isn't it? ) but I have an update to show you.

Thanks for stopping by

Gotcha !

Only one person noticed that yesterday was april's fool day!!! I couldn't resist having a little joke on my blog. If you were already stitching a bib for my baby you can stop because I am so NOT pregnant !!! It was a little joke to celebrate that day and have some fun !!!

I realised I forgot to show you some pictures of my little baby who turned 5 on march 21 st. I know, he's not a baby anymore but ... I can't help it, he's too sweet !!!

I think we can say he didn't expect this little Mario. He loved it!

He just adores his Spiderman quad.

Fun! fun! fun !

I received Wendy's prize: the chart and the chart pack for this Mirabilia design. Thank you very much Wendy. I've always loved this pattern so I'll stitch it one day. I'm a very lucky person.

We still don't have the weather to feel like it's spring but some flowers in my garden decided to show their colors:

A great news !!!

I couldn't wait to share a very important news with you : we are expecting a baby !!! It's a little unexpected but we are very happy and the oldest kids as well. And that's what made me choose my next project.

When I checked my stash, I saw many nice projects to stitch. I considered stitching this nice Lanarte ( but I couldn't find it in my stash even though it is in a file in my computer ... weird).

I also thought about stitching Dream keepers by Bucilla but there are lots of one over two so it scared a little bit .... But I love this design.

And when the news of the baby came, I checked my stash again and found this cute design by Marai Van Scharrenburg. Isn't it a beautiful project for a little baby?

I bought that one on Ebay and the seller had added her working copies so I was able to start right away. I'm stitching on the fabric from the kit. Isn't it cuter than on the picture from the kit?

Thanks again for the compliments on finishing my little mice! You are so sweet !!!

Dancing mice

They are so happy my little mice that they are dancing today. Ready to stitch, a needle and some floss in hand, they are all smiling !!! You guessed right: I finished my little stitching mice. The backstitching was a little nightmare because they are a lot of it but like always with Margaret Sherry's designs, it is all worth it at the end.


Stitched on a solo lugana 28 ct by Silkweaver

Started : febuary 22 nd

Finished: march 18 th 2010

I am so happy to have changed the fabric so I didn't have to stitch all the one over two in the middle of the design. Yes, I'm that smart

So what's next you are asking? Stay tuned, I have already started it

Let's all dance now !!!

Wendy

I've been trying to contact you but I can't find your blog or your email. Can you please, contact me so I can give you my adress, please? Thanks a lot !!!

School carnival 2010

Today was the school carnival and it was COLD, very cold ... We are having temperature in the 30 °F with cold winds everyday ... Brrrrrrrrrr. I don't really know why the school chose that date ... Steb wanted to be Spiderman but I couldn't find a cheap costume so he chose to be Zorro. At first, he didn't want ma to draw a moustache because the boy on the costume box didn't have one. I had to show him a picture on the internet. How did we live before the internet?

So here is my little Zorro :

But he was not the onlyone who decided to be a Zorro.

Isn't it the cutest Zorro you have ever seen? I love that picture !!! ( yes I'm bragging but it's my baby that you are looking at. )

Emma was a little chinese girl with chinese eyes:

The kids went outside the school to parade but it was so cold that really few people were in the streets ... It was really useless ...

I stitched a little more last night ( looks weird without the backstitches, doesn't it? ) :
