Gift from "Rirumu"

Recently I've been receiving lovely gifts from my Japanese stitcher friends!This is one of them, a lovely pinkeep from Rirumu.

She loves P.Samouiloff's design so much, so made me a pinkeep from her design!A black cat in the cart is really lovely!

The back of the pinkeep is here above.
She also does patchwork, so she has lots of lovely fabbies and have choosen one for this pinkeep from her collection.

She used 2 types of "Tirolian Tape" for the side, it's really lovely!

Thanks Rirumu.
It will be in my pinkeep basket as my collection!

Chapelier

I haven't posted for about a week as I didn't think I had enough progress to post here. And I was really tired, I don't know why, but just was tired very much. Maybe I have a cold, I have running nose now, but at the same time, it may be a pollen allergy...

By the way, "CHAPELIER" in French it's a person who make and sale hats and it's only male, I heard from my French friend Domy, it's called "Modiste" if a person is female!

We call "Boshi-ya", but there are only few order made shops in Japan!

I didn't know what the CHAPELIER is, and I was thinking that this is a wig-shop, lol.

But when I deeply thought, it shouldn't be a wig-shop on the book from Perrette Samouiloff, lol !

From yesterday, I have just started to stitch for my friend's wedding.

My friend will visit and see this blog, so I can't post any photos of that, but it's beautiful design from "Bleu de Soie".

I should stitch fast then send it to her, because her wedding was yesterday...

First Needle Book

Last night, I finished to make a Needlebook below, degisned by P. Samouiloff.
This was the first time for me to make a needlebook, so it was a bit difficult for me to sew and finished up.

The picture below, I just added a born for the dog, lol
Can you see this as look like a born properly?

Inside of the needlebook is like below.
I added a leather tag on it, isn't it lovely?!
I like P. Samouiloff's design very much! I feel like stitching more her designs from now on!

But I have so many work to do now (I'm doing web design as my job at home), and even lots of e-mails regarding works came to me, I just had been ignoring them... lol
But seriouslly, I need to do work... so my stitch time would be shorter than before, and will be slow-down to stitch a bit.Sigh...

SAL - BE GLAD Sajou (Partie1 Finished)

Finally, SAL - BE GLAD Sajou Partie 1 completed today!
I think I made a mistake to cut the cloth...So if I did make a mistake, I would just do 4 parties, not 5.

Since I've finished this today, I've just started this design below, from P. Samouiloff.
This is a really lovely design!
I like P.Samouiloff's designs, they make me very happy!
I'm planning to make a needle book with this motif!

Lovely Tiny Pin Cushion

I didn't have any pin cushions for cross stitch needles yet, and there is a little baby around me anytime, so I really needed to hurry up to make a pin cushion for cross stitch needles and my son!!

The bear at the left on the picture is my son's favorite! Still I didn't know much about cross stitch, so I didn't know where I can buy DMC threads etc... and there was no shops where sell DMC threads near my house, so I used Cosmo threads instead.

When I have shown this pin cushion to my son, he made big smile and hugged this tightly!
Lovely, isn't he?!
