Gone fishing

No sound, no image from me for the next 3 weeks - we're going on holiday tomorrow. Sightseeing, shopping and slow living will be the order of the day. I leave you with this image of last year's holiday :

Chipolata

I know I said I was tired of small crochet, but I had to make a bonnet for Chipolata.

Whew

I was able to get one of Myra's babies - there are still a couple available, hurry to her shop! (all sold now!)

Was there ever something this cute? No way I could ever make such tiny, beautiful toys!

Stuff

I finally finished and sent Carol's bonnets.

I got more thread and linen to make macarons.

I'm a bit tired of small scale crochet right now. I unearthed the ripple throw again. The WIP dress will remain a WIP for a while.

Jackpot

There are days when the mailbox is desperately empty, days when it yields only junk mail, and days when all the good things come together! Today I received 2 Victoria mags from Lynn, and from Sachiko, Cotton Time magazine, a lovely zakka book, and a key case kit. Happy hours in perspective!

Macaron

I made a macaron from the magazine, I couldn't figure out how to make it like in the photos though, with the folds and wavy middle, so I'm a little disappointed, but I suppose if I make several more they will look cute together. For the letter I chose "L" as in "Ladurée". No E168 embroidery thread here, so I used 5283 which I think is too metallic. I'll have to order some E168 online.

Zowie!

I had been pestering Carol to give up her Susan Fosnot head to me (from the day I had first seen its photo, I had been lusting after it), and she did, I feel guilty, but I promise I'll make her body soon, and I'm glad my own doll will have a sister. In exchange I'm making Carol hats and dresses for her kitten and bunny. Carol send the head lightning fast and in a lovely box - I'm really spoiled!

Last Monday, after work I went to town to buy mags for Puni and me, don't know why I had the urge to buy a cross stitch mag. I very rarely do cross stitch, only a few days per year when I'm on holiday in Brittany, but I like to look at mags sometimes, especially this one, whose style I like much.

Back at home I looked through it, and, zowie! Sweet stuff! I especially love the macarons and cakes in the last photo and will surely make some in the near future.

Not feeling much better today, I think I'm going to stay home tomorrow. Hubby did find a 1.25 mm hook in town yesterday, so I have finished the bunny hat for Carol and will start the kitten hat soon.

Happiness is...

A slice of my favorite cake "Fleurs de Provence" (from the local pâtisserie)?

Or a new batch of Moo cards?

Can you tell my favorite colors are blue, pink and white?

Not feeling much up to snuff today, my throat still hurts a lot. I'll probably spend most of the rest of the day reading and will try to crochet a little later on. As luck would have it I lost my 1.25 mm hook which is the one I need right now fo finish a bonnet - I looked everywhere for an hour and coudn't find it. I sent hubby to town and I hope the local yarn seller will have one in this size...

New boxes

A  lot of work these days, and I have strep throat again, I'm feeling quite exhausted. Not quite 7 pm yet but I think I'm going to go to bed and hope I'll be better tomorrow.

Yesterday I was in Paris for work, I  went to Ladurée to see if there was anything new, and bingo, they had 2 lovely new Designers Guild boxes, one pink, one lilac.
