Winter crafts

These are my 17 paper collage.

This activity is nice during winter days and a quiet activity. The first one I used part of a gift from Mari ( the pink flowers) from “My little corner of the world “

I will collect them in a

I also used the roses from Mari’s gift on this page.

I am also crocheting  some bright colours!

 

Rain drops 💦 on the windows.

This is the craft I am trying to do.

I did a lot crafts with my children and I forgot about what I have got in stock.

I hope it will dry quickly!

We are having heavy rain and I must put the light on in the house, it is so dark.

I am still in my bedroom and must do the cleaning. While we were on holidays spiders have been working 😆!

I came across a vintage hat I found years ago, it is a hat from the sixties from”Kathe and Lady” shop and the price is still in francs in 1962.

I remember the fashion in the 60’s and I loved it.
 

On another subject, last night I baked a cumin and carrot tart, I cooked again after having been to restaurants everyday during our holidays because the food was salty and even with the médecine I take my blood pressure is high , so everything I cook is without salt.

I am still upstairs and I can hear the noise of heavy rain on the roof windows!

I am going to go downstairs and will begin a new craft

After I have cleaned our bedroom. I hope I’ll succeed in doing it!

Yo-yo DIY of the day.

Yo-yo inspiration in Marie Suarez book « les yo-yos »

I have the project to make red and white place mats as I have some red and white fabric left and this is a good way to use left over fabric and make yo-yos.

 Today, I decided to make « yo-yos » with some fabric I have in stock. I first discovered yo-yos during my years in Great Britain ( a long time ago) and a few years ago I came across an interesting book on the subject. I went on Pinterest this morning and saw manu interesting ways to use yo-yos.

Some years ago I made this bracelet with small yo-yo for the Summer .

I found these buttons on Saturday ( at Action ) and will use them in my craft.I did not know what I was going to do when I got them.

I don’t know yet what I am going to do with them, we will see!

Today, after heavy wind storm, rain, 20 degrees C this morning we are back to frost! What a strange weather! But we have blue sky and ☀️ sun!

Enjoy your day!

New day, new finds.

Hello Friends,

Today was a busy day driving outside.

I had two appointments one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Lots of kilometres , I hope to have enough petrol for next week as there still have problems due to the big strikes!

This afternoon we are having wind and heavy showers it was not easy to drive.

As I was obliged to go out I did some shopping to make some new DIY next week.

I got these flowers, a Birthday card for Maxime.

Some eggs to decorate for Easter

I hope you enjoy your weekend!

A patient gave us 1 kg chocolate ! Happy weekend…

After the wind…

Hello friends,

We had three days wind storm and I went to the garden to see if there was damages. One tile on the roof fall and some flowers have some damage too.

Today, it is calm, Nono the robot is mowing the lawn quietly it is 11 degrees and the sun was shining today.

I stayed inside the rest of the time and cooked carrot 🥕 soup, I cooked some pears 🍐 and I think I will make a little crumble. This afternoon I worked on my felted wool Bunnies, I found it difficult and very long to make… I have three of them to make 😆!

Tomorrow I will try to go to the post office to get a box to send my grandson, son and daughter-in-law Birthday presents 🎁 

Last year my favourite tree had big problems because of the very hot and dry Summer, I had to nurse him and he is still there blooming.

 I will work on the Bunnies tomorrow and hope to finish one!
