Après une semaine de
démence au travail, le samedi rose de Beverly est, une fois de plus, arrivé très
vite et je viens de terminer in extremis ma couronne de brodeuse que j’ai, pour
l’occasion, confectionnée dans des tons de rose.
After
a hectic week at work, Beverly’sPink Saturday is back so soon that I hardly had the time to complete my embroiderer’s
wreath. For the occasion I made it in shades of pink.
Le détail d’un modèle de Véronique Enginger dont j’ai
adapté les couleurs. J’ai également voulu lui donner un peu de relief avec une
paire d’aiguilles à tricoter piquées dans le coussinet – en fait deux cure-dents
surmontés de perles.
A detail from a pattern by
Véronique Enginger whose colours have been changed to match the theme. I also
wanted to give a little relief to the pad, so I turned two toothpicks and beads
into knitting needles.
Une petite
envie de reprendre le scrapbooking.
A sudden crave for scrapbooking again.
De
jolis petits ciseaux cigogne que je sacrifie sans trop de regrets puisque j’en
ai quelques autres à disposition.
Stork scissors that I
sacrifice without too much regret as I have a few other pairs at disposal.
Ce furent des photos compliquées à prendre avec le
vent incessant de ces derniers jours..La couronne virevoltait dans tous les
sens, rendant les images très floues ! Mais je voulais quand même vous
faire profiter de mon amandier de Chine dont les fleurs rose pâle qui
attrapent si bien la lumière font penser à des branches recouvertes de neige.
Taking the pictures was a real challenge due to the crazy wind that
has been blowing over the last few days. The wreath was twirling around blurring
all the snapshots! But I wanted to share with you my beautiful blossoming Chinese almond tree
whose pale pink flowers catch the light so well that you could think the tree
is covered in snow.
A nice weekend to everybody and thank you for your visit!
A very pretty wreath, with all the lovely little details. Decorated so beautifully, everything fits together.
RépondreSupprimerWith it you can decorate the door to the sewing room wonderfully.
Have a nice weekend, Martina
Thank you, Martina. I still haven't decided where this wreath will be placed but the sewing room should be perfect. I wish you a nice week! Sandrine
SupprimerLove your wreath ,so pretty love the stitching of the wool and those little pins .
RépondreSupprimerEnjoy a great weekend.
Thank you, June. I'd had this wool pattern in mind for a few months and the wreath was a good occasion to stitch it. Have a nice week!
SupprimerYour wreath, Sandrine, oozes such gorgeousness. There are so many pretties for one's eye to linger on. Pretty stork scissors, buttons, tape measures, reels of cotton, a tiny sewing machine....and of course your pretty cross stitch of a basket filled with yarns. The toothpicks with tiny beads on the end representing knitting needles is inspired. Gorgeous photos! Your Chinese almond tree is beautiful isn't it. There is nothing quite like the blossoms in early Spring. They dance with beauty.
RépondreSupprimerThank you very much, Kim! I keep and often buy such small items and when I get an idea like the one for the wreath, I am happy to find them a use. Yes, Spring is a continuous parade of blossoming beauties most of which, I am afraid, have already displayed their attire. Best wishes for a nice week, hugs!
SupprimerA wonderful wreath with a lot of little details. I like the little basket, that you have stitched.
RépondreSupprimerHave a nice weekend, Manuela
Thank you, Manuela! I think the little basket comes from the same collection of patterns as the little girls with the yarn ball I could see on your blog. I love these smallies that can be adapted on so many different supports. Enjoy a nice week, Sandrine.
SupprimerOh, quelles photos etonnantes! L'idee et l'execution de la couronne provoqent l'admiration, et aussi une amandier en fleurs - merveille!.. Sandrine, merci pour cette beaute, on veut l'examiner longtemps! Et faire quelque chose in peu semblable ;))
RépondreSupprimerBon printemps a Vous!
Merci beaucoup, Marya-Dimiter! Je serai contente de voir quelle jolie création les photos sur mon blog auront pu vous inspirer. A bientôt! Sandrine
SupprimerWhat a beautiful wreath and your almond blossom is just fabulous - have a lovely weekend.
RépondreSupprimerThank you, Fil! The blossoms attract a lot of bees that, in addition to the beautiful sight of the flowers, make a very harmonious humming. I wish you a nice week!
SupprimerOh Sandrine, the wreath is fabulous! The details are so cute, I wouldn't be able to pick a favourite. And the flowers of your tree are gorgeous. 🌸 Is it a Prunus glandulosa?
RépondreSupprimerHave a lovely weekend! Bisous!
Thank you, Sara! I must confess I don't know the exact name for the tree. It's my first Spring in this house and I happily discover all the plants in the garden. This tree has several trunks covered with a slightly silver bark and the flowers are more like double cherry blossoms than pompoms with a very delicate almond fragrance.
SupprimerI wish you a nice week! Bisous!
What a very lovely wreath you have made, a feast for the eyes with so many stitchy details and different ornaments. I like the little embroidered pillow and tiny crochet flower with a strawberry, all blowing in the wind on your gorgeous Chinese almond tree.
RépondreSupprimerThank you, Sheryl! The wreath gave me the opportunity to make a good use of many small things that I keep in different boxes. With all the things that I collect, I could make so many wreaths and almost open a shop! Have a nice week! Sandrine
SupprimerHow lovely!!! I enjoyed my visit!
RépondreSupprimerThank you very much and I am happy your enjoyed the visit! Have a nice week!
SupprimerEssa guirlanda ficou maravilhosa! Parabéns.
RépondreSupprimerAchei linda sua tesoura de cegonha (não conhecia)
Bom fim de semana.

Thank you for your comment, Maristela! I don't precisely know the origin of the stork scissors but they have been a tradition from Nogent, near Paris, for quite a long time and are declined into many different aspects. I wish you a nice week! Hugs!
SupprimerSandrine
Beautiful wreath!! It would make a lovely gift to someone who loves sewing and crafts. I love to read your blog and try to see what I still remember from French classes. I can't speak French but have always enjoyed the language. My dna shows that I am part French and that was a great surprise. Thank you for the lovely post!
RépondreSupprimerThank you, Angela! I am happy if the captions I write in French can help you practice the language. Actually I think you are almost the only reader interested in the French version as most of the visitors are non-French! I wish you a nice week!
SupprimerI am so glad that you stopped by and left such a sweet comment on my post!! I was thinking of making a wreath like this for my craft room door. I have wreaths on all the room doors in my house!! I had been searching for ideas on a wreath on Pinterest and I come here and find this charming wreath!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Thanks for stopping by!!
RépondreSupprimerHugs,
Deb
Thank you for your visit, Debbie! I love wreaths too and even if this type of decoration is not a traditional one in France, I adorn my front door with one most of the year. And your idea of a permanent decorated tree in the house is making its way in my head :))Hugs! Sandrine
SupprimerHow creative! I love the wreath and your flowers are gorgeous, too.
RépondreSupprimerThank you Betty! Have a nice photographic week! Hugs!
SupprimerA koszorú nagyon jó!!!
RépondreSupprimerThank you for your nice comment, Beáta! Have a nice week and read you soon!
SupprimerEverything is very harmonious in a wonderful wreath for a needlewoman! Beautiful embroidery!
RépondreSupprimerThanks a lot, Tanya! I had a lot of fun assembling all these little items related to needlework. Have a nice week! Sandrine
SupprimerJaki piękny wianek jestem pod wrażeniem. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
RépondreSupprimerThank you very much, Małgorzata! I would have liked to take the time to make something more elaborate with the crochet but the wreath was a lit small for it. Best wishes for a nice week! Sandrine
SupprimerOOOoooooooooh!!!! que maravilloso trabajo, cuanto me gusta!!!!!!! precioso, besos
RépondreSupprimerEs MARAVILLOSO!!!!
RépondreSupprimerThank you very much, Chelo!
SupprimerThe wreath is very beautiful! It looks great against the background of flowering trees.
RépondreSupprimerThank you, Natali!
SupprimerAlmond flowers are great for a wreath needlewoman! And the wind is so hard! Sometimes I run around the park for my embroidery, which I’m trying to photograph))) Have a good week! Tatyana
RépondreSupprimerThank you, Tatyana! Yes, being an embroidery photographer can be risky and real sports at times :)) Best wishes!
