I'm doing the finishing on two Christmas
stockings for the older girls - Jessie's can
wait until after I come home!
No2 granddaughter has her birthday while
I'm there so I'm making her a wall hanging
of Miss Maude - different to this one
I made for her older sister a year
or so ago.
(sorry for the picture quality)
If you would like to embroider a
Miss Maude contact Carole
at Madness & Mess to purchase
the pattern!
We've also had several trips up to
the Bay of Islands in the last 3 weeks.

Why is it that everything
happens all at once?
However, in no time I'll be sitting on
the aeroplane winging my way
to my favourite city in the
whole world - Paris!
I've really got nothing
to complain about!!

ReplyDeleteHi Dear Shane
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine the amount of unfinished items looming up at you at present in preparation for your Paris trip to visit your family there.
Don't forget to breathe deeply for a while - you still have a few weeks up your sleeve yet.
I can just imagine the excitement building though - ooh la la Paris - it won't be that long now.
Take good care and save a little energy for when you are there.
Happy creating,
Big hugs and love,
Suzy
Hi Shane! Boy, I tell you, the way time is flying lately, you will be in Paris in no time. This past week for me has been so busy and I haven't done anything except try to get through each and every day in order to prepare for the next. Crazy! Your stitchings are so very pretty and will be much loved indeed! Hope you are having a great weekend. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will have so much fun, ENJOY!!
ReplyDeleteOh that's wonderful you go to Paris! Which part of town you will stay, quelle quartier? I like Paris too, it is so pretty. My husband is many times for his work near the Opera in Paris and sometimes I go with him.(shopping! or giving workshops)
ReplyDeleteHave much fun
Janny
Hi Shane,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be going to Paris in 4 weeks. I can see you would be very busy getting ready and planning. Your creations are gorgeous and I love the first little slippers for Jessie. Too darling.
Have a wonderful time, be safe and enjoy every minute of your trip.
Thank you also for stopping by and your kind comment. You are such a dear heart.
Blessings and hugs, Celestina Marie
Hi Shane,
ReplyDeleteOh how delightful, to be going to visit Paris and what a thrill to be with your family again.
Bet you are counting down the days and best of luck with getting all the jobs done before you go.

The Bay of Islands photos look lovely.
Enjoy the week

How fun - enjoy your preparations and have a wonderful time
ReplyDeleteI am very excited for you! We seem to have rather a lot in common. I always tend to set myself time-consuming projects to make (I love it, I really do) as gifts to take or send to somebody special. Those baby slippers are simply perfect. So exquisite. Another thing we have in common? A profound love of Paris. I lived there. I worked there. I loved every minute of it. Even the smell of the metro. Oh yes!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with finishing off your beautiful projects.
Stephanie
Have a wonderful time in Paris!! A Dream!!
