Enjoying the Mountain

Hi!!!

A new week is started (it's already Tuesday...LOL) but I would like to show you what I did past Sunday...

Shades of purple on the wall

Hello my friends!!!
Do you remember the quilt I was working on some times ago?
I wrote about it in a post about one month ago I think...
Well...finally it's finished and it's now displayed on my bedroom wall.
I love the way it turned out, I love purple and here there are shades of purple that are perfects on my bedroom!

As you can see, it's a simple quilt, perfect for use these beautiful fabrics that you fell in love and would not like to cut in too much tiny pieces...LOL!!!!

I've designed it and make it and this is really so much fun for me!!!!
I started with  an idea on my mind and...I'll end with a quilt on my wall...LOL!!!

I've added some appliquè for make it nicer...
Two birds in love on a brach...

Some colorful butterflies...that give it a spring-y look...

And...grass...

I made in this way my Purple Enchanted Garden!
Hope you like it!!!

My Holidays on the French Riviera part 2: Old town, Menton by Night and...FOOD!!!!

Hello My friends!!!
How are you today?
here there are other pictures of my holidays...
You can see a mosaic of pictures of the old town.
Beautiful little alleys  inside the town are accessibles by old stairs...

Each house is so caracteristic with old trees, flowers, colorful windows...

And...the town by night...is so beautiful with his lights, music, open markets on the roads and  lots of people...

It's so nice to walk in the night, the air is fresh and you can feel the smell of the foods...pizza, fishes, french fries, pasta, crepes...and you can't wait to stop in a cute restaurant and...try them all!!!!

Hope you enjoyed my tour in this beautiful town!!!!!
Where are you going for the holidays?

A bag for a wedding

 Hello my friends!!!
yesterday morning I was in a creative mood and so I decided to make myself a new bag...
I need a new bag/purse for a wedding that  will be the 30th of July...
Usually, I don't like very much the kind of bag/purse you wear to wedding parties because they are small...and I love big purses as I always have so much things to carry with me...LOL!!!!
So...having this in mind...I absolutely would not like to waste my money for a purse that I probably only use one day for few hours...

So, I decided to make myself a cute wedding purse...
I'll wear a beautiful pearl grey oriental style silk dress with red flowers and grey sandals so I need something in these colors...

I looked into my stash and I found some cute fabrics that could work, then I've also found some silk scraps and laces...The colors' combination looked so perfect to me...

 

I took one of my Tilda's book and I found a pattern that perfectly suits my taste...

And...in a couple of hours...I made it!!!!

I'm so happy with the result and I think my cute new purse goes perfectly with my dress...

So...what do you think?

My Holidays on the French Riviera part 1: The Sea

Hello my friends!!!
Last week finally I've had some days off to work and so hubby and I spent our vacations on the French Riviera in a beautiful town called Menton.
It's only about  2 hours and half drive from our town but...believe me...it's all another world...

First because there is the sea...LOL...our town is surrounded by mountains...
Then, as this town is part of the Cote d'Azur and it'ls also part of the Provence, it has the typical  look of the French towns...really well trimmed, you can find flowers everywhere, small bistrots and cute restaurants and...the sea is wonderful!

We enjoyed so much our stay there! we only go a couple of hours one afternoon on the beach, it was hot and with lots of people so...we decided to walk...
And...we walked soooo much, lots and lots of kilometres...LOL!!!!
There are beautiful "promenades" there, so relaxing near the sea...

So...our days were as follow...more or less...
We got up not too much early in the morning, we wore our walking shoes, shorts and tank top (hubby a T-short...LOL) and we went to have our breakfast in a nice italian bar...
Cappuccino and croissants were wonderful!

We walked for about 2 hours, then we come back to the town for lunch that usually was ice cream...

Then we come back to the hotel for have a bit of rest and we did another walk in the afternoon...

Then we come back again to the hotel for a shower and for get ready for the evening-night...
The nights were magics...thousands of people everywhere, restaurants open till late, music, open market near the beach...

I think this is a little paradise not too much far from us...

In effect, this is our first holiday there but...we go there since we were...younger...LOL...about 20 years ago...

Every summer we went there 2 or 3 times...also if only for 1 day...we can't miss it!!!!

In the next posts, I'll show you the old town, Menton by night and the delicious food!!!

Hope you enjoyed my little tour... :O)

Flying to Australia

 Hi and happy Sunday  my friends!!!
How are you?
I'm packing as tomorrow hubby and I will go some days to the beach on the French Riviera.
Hope to get nice weather there as here is still so much crazy...one day soooo hot and the day after, we get rain, wind, jail!!!! CRAZY!!!!
Today I'd like to show you a Fap I made and sent yesterday to Australia! A FAP is a Fabric Artistic Postcard and it's so much to make them and send them throught the snail mail!!!
This one will have a long long trip to do till Australia so I hope it will reach my friend in good shape!!!

I got inspiration for my Fap from my garden, I was looking at some very busy bees on lavender and...the idea came in my mind! Lilac and purple colors and a "swirl" embroidery looks so nice...
I added a romantic touch with a white lace.
If you've never made one, you have to try, it's really so much fun!!!
Happy Sunday!!!!
