Equation of the day

Thread + a needle + felt....

= a colourful flower in this grey and cold summer in Paris

Thanks again to The Coletterie for this great tutorial.
It is super easy... so why don't you try it?

Knitting...

I started knitting my shoulder-warmer....

I just love the colour and the yarn is really easy to knit (100% washable wool - colour chosen by Citronille)

Suzon Grisou also cooks

Apple pie - 100% handmade (including the short crust pastry)

Tea time....

I could not resist buying this colour of wool (Tisane - meaning "herbal tea" - from Citronille).

What am I going to knit with this?
- a shoulder-warmer for me (not sure it is the proper name in English - click on the link)
- another sweater for my daughters

Felt mix

I was not expecting to find felt in this craft/art shop called Graphigro (in Paris - 15th district).

This is exactly what I needed to start working on nice projects:
- heart barrettes for Louise and Charlotte
- Xmas ornaments (I know, it is a bit too early)
and I need to go back there and purchase some white felt to make some tooth fairy bags...
Thanks to The Purl Bee for all those creative ideas!

Capri pant - tested and approved by my daughter

Although I thought this capri pant should be shorter, Louise is thrilled to wear a handmade pant!
