It's an adventure. For example, the other morning started out dark and drizzly, but thanks to these pretty tea cups found along the way, the day ended up smelling like a rose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you have a wonderful week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Quand on chine, on ne sait jamais sur quoi on va tomber et c'est ça que j'adore.

But I have to admit that rising early and stepping out into a dark, cold winter morning sometimes requires a fair share of self-motivation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A warm and cloudless July day, though...well, that's a different story. On these summer mornings, I love waking and getting out before Paris gets up and going. It feels like having Paris -- the sights, sidewalks, and streets -- all to myself, if only for a quiet little while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, finding some old fabric and thread wasn't such a bad way to end this July morning, either (hmm...probably not so coincidentally, they seem to be the same colors as my blog :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;:-: Hope you have a nice week! :-:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;En général, il me faut peu de choses pour me lever tôt le matin et aller faire un tour au marché aux puces. Mais je dois reconnaître que les matins froids d'hiver, lorsqu'il fait encore nuit dehors, peuvent &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;nécessiter &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;parfois &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;une bonne dose de courage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une journée de juillet sans un nuage cependant, ça change tout. Durant ces matins d'été, j'adore me lever et sortir avant que Paris se réveille. Cela me donne l'impression d'avoir Paris pour moi toute seule -- les rues et ruelles, les immeubles, les trottoirs -- un court moment paisible, en tout cas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bien sûr, ce n'était pas mal non plus de terminer cette matinée de juillet en chinant ces quelques trouvailles (et...ce n'est probablement pas un hasard si elles sont dans les mêmes tons que mon blog :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;:-: Très bonne semaine ! :-:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TM1cuynWLII/AAAAAAAAC8U/S2gG7ANodfs/s1600/signature.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ;

I hope your week is going well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is just a peek at what I'm working on right now...a quilt for my little one, thanks to &lt;a href="http://www.northcott.net/?sid=3&amp;amp;layout=2col&amp;amp;content=pattern_details&amp;amp;pid=630&amp;amp;colid=393##"&gt;this free pattern&lt;/a&gt; (it's very easy to follow and sews together quickly). After making a few small changes to the measurements and a fabric, the top is finished, so now it's time to quilt it. To be continued...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Comment allez-vous ? J'espère que vous passez une bonne semaine !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici juste un aperçu de ce que je réalise en ce moment...un quilt pour mon bout de chou, à partir de &lt;a style="color: rgb(90, 90, 90);" href="http://www.northcott.net/?sid=3&amp;amp;layout=2col&amp;amp;content=pattern_details&amp;amp;pid=630&amp;amp;colid=393##"&gt;ce modèle gratuit&lt;/a&gt; (c'est très facile à suivre et très rapide à faire). Après avoir fait quelques petites modifications au niveau des mesures et d'un des tissus, le dessus est fini, alors maintenant il faut le quilter. A suivre...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TIaRkxqI_DI/AAAAAAAAC2s/tzgA_OGEeKg/s1600/signature.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 54px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TIaRkxqI_DI/AAAAAAAAC2s/tzgA_OGEeKg/s400/signature.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514254854753156146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-5431042051640036328?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/5431042051640036328/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/09/q-is-for-quilt.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/5431042051640036328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/5431042051640036328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/09/q-is-for-quilt.html' title='Q is for Quilt'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TIaI3f1QN4I/AAAAAAAAC2c/v9S4bB6mpDY/s72-c/quilt1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-8835439816269456873</id><published>2010-08-22T16:02:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-22T16:07:15.028+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Snippets of Life'/><title type='text'>Food for Thought</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TG_VFtWBU9I/AAAAAAAAC1k/0c1jCOehAGg/s1600/cuisine1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 330px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TG_VFtWBU9I/AAAAAAAAC1k/0c1jCOehAGg/s400/cuisine1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507855163345425362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On this quiet August afternoon, I'm just thinking about a few of the many little pleasures for which I'm grateful:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:-: Being able to sit at the small table in our kitchen, eat breakfast, drink green tea, and read the newspaper (to catch up on the news, but also to improve my French). For a long time we weren't able to sit in our tiny kitchen, but thanks to some rearranging when we painted this summer, we found space for the table. Now it's like we have an extra room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:-: The sights, smells, and sounds of France's open air markets, with their olives, cheeses, nuts, roasted chickens, fruits, vegetables, fish, fresh herbs, and flowers -- all artfully arranged. Food is prepared right before your eyes and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;les marchands &lt;/span&gt;generously offer cooking tips or recipes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:-: The heavenly scent wafting from our Colombian neighbor's kitchen when she makes empanadas. It reaches all the way downstairs and greets us as soon as we enter the building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:-: The Indian/Pakistani restaurant across the street that nearly burned down last month, on one of the summer's hottest days. For the first two years that we lived here, the hard-working man who runs it opened the restaurant every single day. Fortunately -- and because he works so hard -- it's been repaired and will re-open soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:-: The neighborhood in Paris known as the Asian district, where the freshly made Vietnamese spring rolls and bo bun are so delicious (and affordable). As we sit in our favorite restaurant, I like to watch the people go by outside. There's always a lot of activity and there are so many interesting things to observe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:-: Sharing these things with my thoughtful husband and enthusiastic son.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;:-: Last but not least, I'm grateful, too, that you're here visiting my blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bonne semaine et bon appétit!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;:-: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;En cet après-midi calme du mois d'août, je pense à ces quelques petits plaisirs de la vie parmi de nombreux autres pour lesquels je suis reconnaissante: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;:-: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;S'asseoir à la petite table de notre cuisine, y prendre le petit déjeuner avec du thé vert en lisant le journal (pour me tenir au courant de l'actualité mais aussi pour améliorer mon français). Pendant longtemps, nous ne pouvions pas nous asseoir dans notre cuisine minuscule. Mais grâce à un réaménagement pendant nos travaux de peinture cet été, nous avons trouvé la place pour y mettre la table. C'est comme si nous &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;avions &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;maintenant &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;une pièce supplémentaire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;:-: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Les couleurs, les odeurs et les sons des marchés découverts français, avec leurs olives, fromages, poulets rôtis, fruits et légumes, poissons, herbes fraîches et fleurs - le tout joliment disposé. Tout est préparé juste sous vos yeux et les marchands vous offrent généreusement des conseils de recettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;:-: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Les délicieuses odeurs venants de la cuisine de notre voisine colombienne quand elle fait des "empanadas". Elles atteignent le rez de chaussé et nous accueillent dès que nous arrivons dans l'immeuble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;:-: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Le restaurant indo-pakistanais d'en face qui est presque parti en fumée le mois dernier lors d'une des journées les plus chaudes de l'été. Durant nos deux premières années ici, le restaurant est resté ouvert tous les jours de l'année sans exception. Heureusement, et parce que le gérant a travaillé si dur - le restaurant est remis en état et va rouvrir bientôt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;:-: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Le treizième arrondissement à Paris, où les rouleaux de printemps fraîchement préparés et les bo bun sont si délicieux (et abordables). Quand nous nous asseyons dans notre restaurant préféré, j'aime observer les gens qui passent. Il y a toujours beaucoup d'activité et des choses intéressantes à voir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;:-: Partager ces moments avec mon mari attentionné et mon fils plein d'énergie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;:-: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Et enfin, je suis également ravie de savoir que vous venez visiter mon blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Bonne semaine et bon appétit !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-8835439816269456873?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/8835439816269456873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/08/food-for-thought.html#comment-form' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/8835439816269456873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/8835439816269456873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/08/food-for-thought.html' title='Food for Thought'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TG_VFtWBU9I/AAAAAAAAC1k/0c1jCOehAGg/s72-c/cuisine1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-6150366261911137512</id><published>2010-08-14T16:10:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-14T16:17:25.568+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vintage Inspiration'/><title type='text'>Some Vintage Finds</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TGaLmZi_0yI/AAAAAAAAC0c/HgZA8unopHc/s1600/jourdechine1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 317px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TGaLmZi_0yI/AAAAAAAAC0c/HgZA8unopHc/s400/jourdechine1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505241086315975458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TGaLmPqqK-I/AAAAAAAAC0U/Ezr86qJdSxw/s1600/jourdechine2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TGaLmPqqK-I/AAAAAAAAC0U/Ezr86qJdSxw/s400/jourdechine2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505241083663756258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TGaLlyYkoyI/AAAAAAAAC0M/hKROcoB26Q0/s1600/jourdechine3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 307px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TGaLlyYkoyI/AAAAAAAAC0M/hKROcoB26Q0/s400/jourdechine3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505241075803267874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It's been a little while since I last posted and I'm sorry if you've been visiting, only to be greeted by the same old post. Many things have been keeping me busy and it's been challenging to find the time (and energy) to blog, stitch, and be creative, despite the fact that blogging has been on my mind for the past three weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When life gets busy, it's always nice to go flea marketing, since I think about little else than the present moment. The sights and sounds of a flea market are as soothing to my soul as a sunny beach and sea air. So, in today's post, I thought I'd share a few recent finds with you...vintage sewing notions, fabrics (surprise! :), and bright, cheerful post cards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;:-: Wishing you a nice day! :-:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Si vous avez visité mon blog dernièrement, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;vous vous êtes sans doute aperçues que cela fait un moment que je n'ai pas posté. J'espère que vous ne m'en voudrez pas trop ! J'ai été prise par beaucoup de choses et il m'est apparu difficile de trouver du temps (et de l'énergie) pour coudre, broder ou blogguer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Quand la vie devient trop chargée, c'est sympa &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;de pouvoir me vider  l'esprit en allant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt; aux puces. L'ambiance, les sons, les formes et les couleurs m'apaisent autant qu'une plage ensoleillée ou que l'air frais marin. Donc, aujourd'hui, j'ai souhaité vous faire partager quelques trouvailles récentes...de la mercerie ancienne, des tissus (étonnant ! :), et de jolies cartes postales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;:-: Excellente journée ! :-:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TGaUy-lGApI/AAAAAAAAC0s/tpVVeFnigzw/s1600/signature.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 54px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TGaUy-lGApI/AAAAAAAAC0s/tpVVeFnigzw/s400/signature.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505251198019961490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-6150366261911137512?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/6150366261911137512/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/08/few-vintage-finds.html#comment-form' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/6150366261911137512'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/6150366261911137512'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/08/few-vintage-finds.html' title='Some Vintage Finds'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TGaLmZi_0yI/AAAAAAAAC0c/HgZA8unopHc/s72-c/jourdechine1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-8328923847788531913</id><published>2010-07-25T23:07:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-25T23:10:22.416+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vintage Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Snippets of Life'/><title type='text'>Something About Sundays</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TEymU9fhWMI/AAAAAAAACxU/SlXdrJE6ptA/s1600/atelier1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TEymU9fhWMI/AAAAAAAACxU/SlXdrJE6ptA/s400/atelier1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497952124146899138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It's Sunday, and while my husband and his three-year-old helper are putting up shelves in the next room, I'm here in my crafting/blogging corner, surrounded by the new and the old, the colorful...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;C'est dimanche et pendant que mon mari et son apprenti de 3 ans montent des étagères dans la pièce à côté, je suis là dans mon coin atelier créatif/blogging, entourée par le récent et l'ancien, le coloré...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TEymVCu5pFI/AAAAAAAACxc/WyFLvfmnOUw/s1600/atelier2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TEymVCu5pFI/AAAAAAAACxc/WyFLvfmnOUw/s400/atelier2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497952125553583186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;...and the &lt;span&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; so colorful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(When I bought this old Eiffel Tower post card at a Paris flea market, the man who sold it to me said, with a twinkle in his eye, that there existed, in fact, a much larger one.

For our family, that means a generous dose of neutral colors (except in our 3-year-old's bright, colorful room).

Et beaucoup de choses peintes en blanc. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TCtzUzzCuPI/AAAAAAAACp8/Vy2hWNBzqKY/s1600/armoire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/TCtzUzzCuPI/AAAAAAAACp8/Vy2hWNBzqKY/s400/armoire.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488607372219955442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We painted the walls with a natural paint (&lt;a href="http://www.peintures-natura.fr/"&gt;Natura&lt;/a&gt;).

That's the case with these recent red, white, and vintage finds. And they have something else in common that I find particularly heartwarming -- their hand-stitched touches. These &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;petits détails&lt;/span&gt; make them even more irresistible. :)&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;  A très bientôt !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Rouge, blanc, vintage et...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si vous lisez régulièrement ce blog, vous savez que j'aime les objets du passé.

C'est ce qui les rend encore plus attachantes. :)  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;A très bientôt !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-589232189482832736?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/589232189482832736/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/05/rouge-blanc-vintage-et.html#comment-form' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/589232189482832736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/589232189482832736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/05/rouge-blanc-vintage-et.html' title='Rouge, blanc, vintage et...'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S-sL20yHkwI/AAAAAAAACkc/sYPoAROr0Uk/s72-c/redwhite1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-1414044988966106112</id><published>2010-05-07T11:11:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-05-07T11:13:51.331+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etcetera'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shop News'/><title type='text'>A Little Update</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S-PWXKruyWI/AAAAAAAACik/N4JWmJLPL4w/s1600/atelier.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S-PWXKruyWI/AAAAAAAACik/N4JWmJLPL4w/s400/atelier.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468450066051025250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;a "new" old shelf in my craft space&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;une "nouvelle" étagère ancienne dans mon atelier&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S-PWWibytAI/AAAAAAAACic/MMpW3z-uUlg/s1600/linen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 297px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S-PWWibytAI/AAAAAAAACic/MMpW3z-uUlg/s400/linen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468450055246754818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;linen for cross-stitching&lt;br /&gt;(Some of you had asked me about this and it's now in the shop!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;du lin pour le point de croix dans la boutique&lt;br /&gt;(Certaines d'entre vous m'en avez demandé et c'est chose faîte !)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi everyone, it's been really busy around here lately, so I haven't been able to post very often.

They'll soon be showing up at the outdoor markets here, so I stitched this just for the fun of it. I'm not sure yet what will become of it...it may end up framed or it could be made into the cover for a recipe book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cross-stitch pattern is from the May/June 2010 issue of the new magazine &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Création point de croix&lt;/span&gt; (I added the vintage ribbons and buttons). Wishing you a nice month of May...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mmm, les cerises. Elles apparaîtront bientôt sur les marchés ici, alors j'ai brodé cette fillette juste pour le plaisir. Je ne sais pas encore quoi en faire...peut-être qu'elle finira dans un cadre ou elle pourrait aussi devenir la couverture pour un livre de recettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le modèle est tiré du nouveau &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Création point de croix &lt;/span&gt;(j'ai rajouté les rubans et les boutons).

The dots with the letters are cross-stitched on top.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I make so many bags and pouches, I guess it's partly because they're so handy for holding all of the little things that I seem to collect (a hard habit to break). &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A bientôt &lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Votre semaine, a-t-elle bien commencé ?  J'espère que oui... Voici une petite pochette que j'ai réalisée grâce au livre &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Galons, broderies &amp;amp; fantaisie&lt;/span&gt; (qui n'est malheureusement plus disponible).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si je fais autant de sacs et de pochettes, je suppose que c'est en partie parce qu'ils sont tellement pratiques pour ranger toutes les petites choses que je collectionne (une habitude difficile à perdre).

If so, I'm sorry to have left you wondering. I was away, from the computer and from home, for a few days on a last-minute trip with my husband and son to the Loire Valley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While there, we visited &lt;a href="http://www.chenonceau.com/media/gb/index_gb.php"&gt;Chenonceau&lt;/a&gt; castle, which stretches across the Cher river. Uniquely shaped by a number of women throughout its 500-year existence, it mingles history, nature (such beautiful gardens), art, music, and architecture (technology, too, since iPod audio/video tours are available to visitors now).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Si vous êtes venus faire un tour récemment sur mon blog, vous avez peut-être remarqué que je n’avais pas posté depuis quelques temps. Si c’est le cas, veuillez m’excuser de vous avoir laissé dans le flou. Je me suis éloignée de l'ordinateur et de la maison pendant quelques jours pour une excursion improvisée dans la vallée de la Loire avec mon mari et mon fils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cette occasion, nous avons visité le château de &lt;a style="color: rgb(90, 90, 90);" href="http://www.chenonceau.com/"&gt;Chenonceau&lt;/a&gt;, qui traverse le Cher. Modelé par de nombreuses femmes au cours de ses cinq siècles d’existence, il rassemble histoire, nature (de si beaux jardins), art, musique et architecture (technologie, aussi, depuis que des visites guidées audio/vidéo sont disponibles par iPod).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S89WuUN49nI/AAAAAAAACgM/fMtVc6PmPOg/s1600/loirevalley2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S89WuUN49nI/AAAAAAAACgM/fMtVc6PmPOg/s400/loirevalley2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462680226724640370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Standing in a room from which France was governed hundreds of years ago made me daydream. I also learned, among other things, that during World War I the castle was used as a hospital to care for the wounded and during World War II it provided safe passage for people from occupied France on one side of the river to French free territory on the other side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Être dans une pièce depuis laquelle la France était gouvernée il y a des centaines d’années m’a laissé rêveuse. J’ai aussi appris, entre autres choses, que le château avait eu des utilisations très variés au cours du XXème siècle : pendant la première guerre mondiale, il a servi d’hôpital pour soigner les blessés et pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, il était un lieu de passage de la France occupée à la France libre, le Cher formant la ligne de démarcation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S89WvIf4KnI/AAAAAAAACgU/OuZF9J34ESs/s1600/loirevalley3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S89WvIf4KnI/AAAAAAAACgU/OuZF9J34ESs/s400/loirevalley3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462680240758729330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;One of my favorite spots -- the kitchens. Elegantly arranged bouquets composed of fresh flowers and plants grown on the castle grounds greet visitors throughout the castle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Parmi mes pièces préférées – les cuisines. Des bouquets élégamment arrangés composés de fleurs fraîchement coupés des jardins du château accueillent les visiteurs à travers le chateau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S89WvmMgwgI/AAAAAAAACgc/5qITgCd1sL0/s1600/loirevalley4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Some of my favorite things are old black and white photos, classic black and white films, even black and white sewing or embroidery treasures from the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So while out and about this week, I couldn't resist these vintage finds: rickrack from Les Galéries Lafayette department store, mattress ticking, a spool of thread, and a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;festonneur&lt;/span&gt; (these were rolled in ink and then used to festoon textiles, adorning them with garlands or other motifs that were then embroidered). And -- wouldn't you know it -- now I'm trying to think of something black and white to make. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Wishing you a nice month of April!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Noir et blanc" rime avec "vintage" dans mon esprit. J'adore les vieilles photos noires et blanches, les films classiques en noir et blanc, et même la mercerie ou les tissues noirs et blancs du passé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors lorsque je suis allée chiner cette semaine, je n'ai pas pu résister à ces trouvailles :  du croquet des Galéries Lafayette, de la toile à matelas, une bobine de fil et un festonneur. Et du coup -- c'était prévisible -- maintenant j'essaie de réfléchir à quelque chose que je pourrais réaliser en noir et blanc. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Je vous souhaite un agréable mois d'avril !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-3853851420730051266?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/3853851420730051266/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/04/noir-et-blanc.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/3853851420730051266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/3853851420730051266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/04/noir-et-blanc.html' title='Noir et blanc'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S8CRABUE6II/AAAAAAAACcc/t6FqHrRYKkw/s72-c/noiretblanc.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-7438841100684065964</id><published>2010-04-05T22:45:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-05T22:50:44.991+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etcetera'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vintage Inspiration'/><title type='text'>:-: The Giveaway Winner :-:</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S7pK3CmK8gI/AAAAAAAACcU/23tvnEkn9U0/s1600/giveaway2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

But sometimes I'm not crazy about filling them. Recently, I had the chance to buy some linen directly from the flax growers themselves. In talking to them, not only did I gain an even greater appreciation for linen, but I learned something, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linen is made from the stalks of the flax plant, which of course also produces nutritious flax seeds. While I was aware of this, I didn't know (did you?) that the seeds can be used to fill a pincushion in order to prevent pins and needles from rusting. Add to that the fact that flax seeds are natural, inexpensive, and easy to use, and I think I'll soon be making many more of these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;:-: Wishing you a sunny weekend! :-:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vous avez peut-être remarqué que j'aime bien faire des pique-épingles. Mais je n'aime pas toujours les remplir. Récemment j'ai eu la chance d'acheter du lin directement des producteurs. En discutant avec eux,  j'ai appris &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;non seulement &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;à mieux apprécier le lin, mais &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;également&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;que l'on pouvait utiliser les graines de lin autrement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le lin est fabriqué à partir des fibres de la plante, celle-ci donnant aussi les fameuses graines, excellentes pour la santé. Tout en sachant cela, j'ignorais (et vous ?) que les graines pouvaient être aussi utilisées pour remplir un pique-épingles et que cela évitait aux épingles et aux aiguilles de rouiller. A cela, on peut ajouter que les graines de lin sont à la fois naturelles, bon marché et faciles à utiliser.

It's such fun and so rewarding to see their faces when they receive a handmade gift. And right from the beginning, when my son was born in 2007, he inspired me to create things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This cross-stitch was one of the first things I made for him. The pattern is from French magazine &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;De Fil en Aiguille&lt;/span&gt; (N° 58, November-December 2007).*  I just changed the colors a bit and then, when finished, mounted it on an artist's canvas from an art supply store. It's been in his room ever since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now that he's learning the alphabet, it's become a teaching tool, too. We take it out, say the letters together, and he traces them as we go. And when we reach the letter "z", he says, "Encore, Maman. Encore !"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;* I was &lt;a href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/11/merci-de-fil-en-aiguille.html"&gt;so sad&lt;/a&gt; to see the magazine stop publishing last year, but so glad to hear that two of the creative women behind it have just launched a new magazine called &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Création Point de Croix&lt;/span&gt; and are working on its Web site.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'adore réaliser des choses pour les enfants et voir leurs visages s'éclairer lorsqu'ils reçoivent un cadeau fait main.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt; Alors, dès sa naissance en 2007, mon fils a été une grande source d'inspiration pour réaliser de nouveaux projets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Cet abécédaire est l'un de mes premiers projets fait à son attention. Le modèle est tiré du magazine &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;De Fil en Aiguille&lt;/span&gt; (N° 58, novembre-décembre 2007).* J'ai juste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt; modifié&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt; les couleurs et une fois terminé, je l'ai posé sur un châssis de peintre. Depuis ce temps, l'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;abécédaire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt; n'a pas quitté la chambre de mon fils.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais maintenant que mon fils apprend l'alphabet, on le sort de sa chambre et c'est devenu également un jeu éducatif. Pendant que nous lisons les lettres ensemble, il passe son doigt sur chacune d'elles. Et quand nous en sommes à la lettre "z", il me dit, "Encore Maman. Encore !"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Comme vous le savez peut-être déjà, l'année dernière&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; ce magazine a malheureusement &lt;a style="color: rgb(90, 90, 90);" href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/11/merci-de-fil-en-aiguille.html"&gt;fermé  ses portes&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;J'étais donc ravie d'entendre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; que deux femmes de son équipe ont lancé un tout nouveau magazine qui s'appelle Création Point de Croix et qu'elles sont en train de créer son site web&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-8206330921198769161?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/8206330921198769161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/03/learning-abcs.html#comment-form' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/8206330921198769161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/8206330921198769161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/03/learning-abcs.html' title='Learning the ABCs'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S5F_iahMsHI/AAAAAAAACVE/y0QPaxqRKzY/s72-c/alphabet.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-1516658229412445112</id><published>2010-03-03T22:53:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-03T23:55:31.849+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etcetera'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vintage Inspiration'/><title type='text'>From France to You</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S47ovArGHTI/AAAAAAAACUM/eJmtV0ebFI0/s1600-h/*theshop*.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S47ovArGHTI/AAAAAAAACUM/eJmtV0ebFI0/s400/*theshop*.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444544893869759794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;There are many things that I appreciate about France. Among them are craft supplies and vintage objects that I find beautiful, and which I've sometimes shown here on my blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For your own projects, some of you have wondered where to find materials, which is not always easy outside of France. So for those of you who might be interested, I've opened a little &lt;a href="http://www.petitsdetails.etsy.com/"&gt;shop&lt;/a&gt; online. Thank you so much for your comments and feedback so far!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Il y a beaucoup de choses que j'aime en France, par exemple les textiles et les objets vintage que je trouve pleins de charme et que j'ai parfois mis sur mon blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour réaliser vos propres projets, certaines d'entre vous se sont demandées où les trouver, ce qui n'est pas toujours facile hors de France. Alors, pour celles d'entre vous qui seraient intéressées, j'ai ouvert une petite &lt;a style="color: rgb(90, 90, 90);" href="http://www.petitsdetails.etsy.com/"&gt;boutique&lt;/a&gt; en ligne.

Maintenant que le projet est fini, c'est un petit sac pour contenir des fournitures de mon atelier. Toutes ces petites choses qui autrement sont éparpillées un peu partout et pour lesquelles je n'arrive jamais à mettre la main dessus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm... on dirait que je viens de le découvrir pour la première fois car quand j'ai choisi les tissus (et quand j'ai fait mon dernier post), je ne savais pas &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;vraiment &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;quoi faire. Le sac s'est en quelque sorte composé de lui-même. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;:-: Passez une très bonne semaine ! :-:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-6120494432127232643?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/6120494432127232643/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/02/all-finished.html#comment-form' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/6120494432127232643'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/6120494432127232643'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/02/all-finished.html' title='aLL fInIsHeD'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S4qaiH2CMzI/AAAAAAAACTc/04TPiJ0vQtY/s72-c/petitsac1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-2987226976027007290</id><published>2010-02-19T18:59:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-19T19:00:31.193+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Things I&apos;ve Made'/><title type='text'>A Work in Progress</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S36o-ZCcY7I/AAAAAAAACRc/IrA3eZAQCp8/s1600-h/gray1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S36o-ZCcY7I/AAAAAAAACRc/IrA3eZAQCp8/s400/gray1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439971189736629170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The cross-stitched part is almost finished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Le point de croix est presque fini.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S36o-IY4ryI/AAAAAAAACRU/Kc_Ge1zq_5Y/s1600-h/gray2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S36o-IY4ryI/AAAAAAAACRU/Kc_Ge1zq_5Y/s400/gray2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439971185267355426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The next step will be to complete it with some linen, fabric, and ribbon.&lt;br /&gt;More to come in a future post...have a great weekend!

In fact, it's one of those days when just stringing together two sentences presents a bit of a challenge. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this reminds me of a quote from the New York Times Book Review that I read recently, about "the phenomenon of belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither." How often true that is of my life, I thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully, creativity is like my own small island somewhere between France and the U.S. It's a place where I'm neither American nor French. I'm just me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here are some of the things that inspire me to get creative. These are glimpses of my creative space, which is nothing more than a corner in one room. But even though it's small, it's one of my favorite places in the world. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Il y a des jours comme celui-ci où mon français est si confus et mon anglais ne semble être qu'une seconde langue au lieu d'être celle que j'ai parlée quasiment toute ma vie. Alors, le seul fait d'essayer d'aligner deux phrases devient un exercice difficile. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cela me rappelle une citation du "New York Times Book Review" que j'ai &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;récemment &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;lu  à propos du "phénomène d'appartenir à deux mondes différents, et donc de n'appartenir à aucun des deux". C'est un sentiment que je connais si bien.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heureusement, la créativité est comme ma propre petite île au milieu de la France et des Etats-Unis. C'est un lieu où je ne suis ni américaine ni française. Je suis simplement moi-même.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et voici, par exemple, des objets qui m'inspirent. C'est un aperçu de cet endroit, pas plus grand que le petit coin d'une pièce, qui me permet de laisser libre cours à mon imagination. Mais même s'il est petit, c'est un de mes lieux préférés au monde. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-3086809871027638390?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/3086809871027638390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/02/my-little-island.html#comment-form' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/3086809871027638390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/3086809871027638390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/02/my-little-island.html' title='My Little Island'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S2_fEj67AXI/AAAAAAAACL0/vhjAYhAJG1k/s72-c/atelier.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-914355044179765677</id><published>2010-01-29T17:59:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-12T18:26:24.884+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Things I&apos;ve Made'/><title type='text'>Pin-pon pin-pon !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S2MKIaWE_tI/AAAAAAAACKM/-kb9E97swEY/s1600-h/ambulance.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S2MKIaWE_tI/AAAAAAAACKM/-kb9E97swEY/s400/ambulance.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432196715166105298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;That's the sound that an ambulance makes in France.

Here is the result (made without a pattern and with much improvisation). I wasn't sure it would keep him warm, but it passed the test (yay!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. The new year seemed like a good time for a new look here at petits détails, so you might notice a few changes. Hopefully this version is an improvement over the previous one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depuis quelques temps, Paris est soit enneigé, soit glacial,  alors j'ai pensé que c'était le bon moment pour improviser une écharpe &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;avec des couleurs gaies &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;pour mon fils. Et voici le résultat. Je n'étais pas sûre qu'elle tienne chaud, mais elle a rempli sa mission (youpi !).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. La nouvelle année m'a paru être une bonne occasion pour donner un nouveau look à mon blog. Vous aurez donc peut-être noté quelques changements qui, je l'espère, le rend plus agréable !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-5425882602474258571?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/5425882602474258571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/01/quilted-patchwork-scarf.html#comment-form' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/5425882602474258571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/5425882602474258571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2010/01/quilted-patchwork-scarf.html' title='A Quilted Patchwork Scarf'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S0y7lCNcCuI/AAAAAAAACC0/xDuYn_IXOdo/s72-c/scarf.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-8948215093943083857</id><published>2010-01-19T21:06:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-25T17:52:07.527+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Things I&apos;ve Made'/><title type='text'>The Magic of Books</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S1W-vKnEN7I/AAAAAAAACFE/GZtblSx4HAM/s1600-h/bookmark.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/S1W-vKnEN7I/AAAAAAAACFE/GZtblSx4HAM/s400/bookmark.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428454643376338866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Reading a good book...is a bit like being carried up into the sky and floating away on an adventure to unknown places.

But I was late getting home (it's so easy to lose track of time when you're doing something you love), and since there was grocery shopping to do, I put them on the table in my crafting corner and rushed back out the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was meant to be a temporary thing until I could find just the right spot for them. The bowl, for its part, was originally destined for the kitchen. But it turned out to be such a good bobbin holder just as it was, it's still right where I left it that day. And guess what, I'm pretty sure that's where it's going to stay! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Have a nice week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;En chinant récemment, je suis tombée sur ces bobines anciennes (voilà encore ces tons marrons) et ce bol vintage. Mais je suis rentrée chez moi en retard (c'est si facile de perdre la notion du temps quand on fait quelque chose qui nous passionne), et comme il y avait des courses à faire, j'ai déposé le bol et les bobines vite fait sur la table de mon petit coin atelier et suis resortie précipitamment de la maison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ils n'étaient censés rester là que provisoirement, le temps que je leur trouvent une place définitive. Le bol, pour sa part, devait aller dans la cuisine. Mais il s'est avéré être si pratique pour y mettre les bobines qu'il est toujours là où je l'avais laissé l'autre jour. Et devinez quoi, c'est sans doute là qu'il restera ! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Bonne semaine!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-662793781800964244?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/662793781800964244/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/12/bowl-full-of-bobbins.html#comment-form' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/662793781800964244'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/662793781800964244'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/12/bowl-full-of-bobbins.html' title='A Bowl Full of Bobbins'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SyZM-rXPolI/AAAAAAAAB-M/NI5JOmLpYCc/s72-c/bowlofthread1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-3177483209902799171</id><published>2009-12-07T12:36:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-25T17:54:50.792+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vintage Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Snippets of Life'/><title type='text'>Shades of Brown</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sxw7nw6qyaI/AAAAAAAAB8E/cXYEvLyjToE/s1600-h/atelier1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sxw7nw6qyaI/AAAAAAAAB8E/cXYEvLyjToE/s400/atelier1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412266406524406178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sxw7nfK2u_I/AAAAAAAAB78/apNBdMtl9mg/s1600-h/atelier2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sxw7nfK2u_I/AAAAAAAAB78/apNBdMtl9mg/s400/atelier2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412266401760459762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sxw7myM_A5I/AAAAAAAAB70/UGJey7pmtiU/s1600-h/atelier3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sxw7myM_A5I/AAAAAAAAB70/UGJey7pmtiU/s400/atelier3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412266389689795474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;When I was little, my favorite color was undeniably pink. My bedroom was pink (even the carpet), my bicycle was pink, my clothes were pink, my doll's cothes were pink, and I dreamed of living in a pink house and driving a pink car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in some ways I'm still pretty partial to pink. Lately, though, I've learned to appreciate brown in its many forms. Rich tones of sepia, linen, chocolate, beige, burnt umber, and toffee...these are some of the colors I seem to be surrounding myself with now. So you just might see various shades of brown appearing around here (along with some pink from time to time,  too). :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;Lorsque j'étais petite, ma couleur préférée était indéniablement le rose. Ma chambre était rose (même la moquette), mon vélo était rose, mes habilles étaient roses, les habilles de ma poupée étaient roses, et je rêvais de vivre dans une maison rose et de conduire une voiture rose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le rose fait toujours partie de ma palette de couleurs favorites. Mais récemment, j'ai appris à apprécier le marron dans toutes ses formes. Des nuances riches de sépia, lin, chocolat, beige, sienne et café au lait...ceux sont les couleurs parmi lesquelles je semble m'entourer maintenant. Alors, vous risquez peut-être d'en voir &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt;davantage par&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(96, 138, 165);"&gt; ici (avec aussi du rose de temps à autre). :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-3177483209902799171?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/3177483209902799171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/12/shades-of-brown.html#comment-form' title='17 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/3177483209902799171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/3177483209902799171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/12/shades-of-brown.html' title='Shades of Brown'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sxw7nw6qyaI/AAAAAAAAB8E/cXYEvLyjToE/s72-c/atelier1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>17</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-6648586709141255922</id><published>2009-12-07T12:34:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-25T17:55:47.637+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etcetera'/><title type='text'>:-: The Giveaway Winner :-:</title><content type='html'>I sincerely wish that everyone who left a comment could win the giveaway!

It was fast and easy to do, and it's so useful, too. It's nice to be able to see the ribbons and trims inside and yet they're protected from dust (which, much to my chagrin, we seem to have a lot of around here).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;  Voici un pot Bonne Maman que j'ai transformé grâce à un kit de &lt;a href="http://boisjoli.over-blog.com/"&gt;Bois Joli&lt;/a&gt; (j'ai juste rajouté quelques touches personnelles, comme l'initiale sur le dessus). C'était rapide et facile à faire, et &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;en plus &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;c'est pratique.

The hats were so important because they helped him to stay warm, which allowed him to grow (every gram counted).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We never knew (but often wondered) who knit the hats. I've since wanted to express my thanks and wasn't sure how to do it. I don't know how to knit, so I had the idea to make this quilt and to send it to a non-profit organization for children. That way, a well-deserving child can use it and hopefully stay warm, as our son did thanks to the hats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;Notre fils, né prématurément, portait à l'hôpital des bonnets tricotés par des bénévoles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;. Ils étaient très importants car ils lui ont permis de rester au chaud et donc de prendre du poids (chaque gramme comptant).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On n'a jamais su (mais on s'est souvent demandé) qui avait tricoté ces bonnets. Alors depuis ce moment, j'ai voulu exprimer ma gratitude. Ne sachant pas tricoter, j'ai eu l'idée de faire ce quilt et  de l'envoyer à une association caritative dédiée aux enfants. Ainsi un enfant pourra l'utiliser et je l'espère, rester au chaud comme notre fils avec les bonnets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-5181765181652082384?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/5181765181652082384/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/11/hand-knit-hats-12-square-quilt.html#comment-form' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/5181765181652082384'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/5181765181652082384'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/11/hand-knit-hats-12-square-quilt.html' title='Hand-Knit Hats &amp;

More information (in French), including a letter from the editor, can be found &lt;a href="http://clarelis.canalblog.com/archives/2009/10/07/15337128.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was very sad to hear this news about such a pretty and inspiring magazine that has always succeeded in offering appealing cross-stitch patterns, beautiful photos, helpful instructions, and interesting articles. My thoughts go out to the magazine's staff and contributors, who've done such a great job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt;* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt;De fil en aiguille&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt; = From needle to thread&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;Cette trousse, faite de tissus et galons anciens, va servir à ranger mes points de croix en cours de réalisation. Le point de croix est tiré du magazine &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;De fil en aiguille &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;(n° 71, septembre-octobre 2009)&lt;/span&gt;, dont j'ai appris malheureusement sa fermeture récente due à des difficultés financières. Vous trouverez plus d'informations et une lettre de la rédaction &lt;a style="color: rgb(90, 90, 90);" href="http://clarelis.canalblog.com/archives/2009/10/07/15337128.html"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est un magazine qui m'inspire beaucoup, avec de très jolis points de croix, de belles photos, de bonnes explications et des articles intéressants. Mes pensées vont à toute l'équipe du magazine, qui en ont fait une vraie réussite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-8374656554162696304?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/8374656554162696304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/11/merci-de-fil-en-aiguille.html#comment-form' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/8374656554162696304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/8374656554162696304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/11/merci-de-fil-en-aiguille.html' title='Merci à &quot;De fil en aiguille&quot;'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SvGNcXQlx4I/AAAAAAAAByE/sFJR5XmMnMo/s72-c/trousse1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-1786987393331655813</id><published>2009-10-28T21:20:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T21:23:44.595+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Things I&apos;ve Made'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vintage Inspiration'/><title type='text'>Ingredients for Happiness</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SuiV0dCWFAI/AAAAAAAABw0/YNPtchmsXCc/s1600-h/scissorscase.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SuiV0dCWFAI/AAAAAAAABw0/YNPtchmsXCc/s400/scissorscase.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397728881783739394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Scissors, needles, thread, and a bit of fabric. They are the perfect antidote to just about anything...like potential boredom, a not-so-great day, worrisome waiting (and more waiting).

Hmm...an idea slowly took shape (why not another one of &lt;a href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/05/its-may-giveaway-day.html"&gt;these&lt;/a&gt;?). Then the fabrics came together. And what began as a button ended up as this quilted notepad cover for my son's doodles and drawings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Have a great weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;Tout a commencé avec ce petit bouton. Je le trouvais mignon mais je ne savais pas quoi en faire. Alors...une idée a pris forme &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;petit à petit &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;(pourquoi ne pas refaire un projet comme &lt;a style="color: rgb(90, 90, 90);" href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/05/its-may-giveaway-day.html"&gt;celui-ci&lt;/a&gt; ?). Ensuite, les tissus à choisir se sont présentés d'eux-même selon ce thème. Et ce qui a commencé par un bouton a fini par ce porte-bloc quilté pour les dessins de mon fils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(105, 124, 143);"&gt;Très bon week-end !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-327977636409195452?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/327977636409195452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/10/it-all-began-with-button.html#comment-form' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/327977636409195452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/327977636409195452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/10/it-all-began-with-button.html' title='It All Began With a Button'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SuHOFkT-nHI/AAAAAAAABwE/ycvj8O5oPc4/s72-c/list-taker1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-2458671853504467032</id><published>2009-10-18T21:47:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:50:52.082+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Things I&apos;ve Made'/><title type='text'>One More Quilt Block</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/StdAYAP5nuI/AAAAAAAABvU/FdsHWXtl88E/s1600-h/logcabin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/StdAYAP5nuI/AAAAAAAABvU/FdsHWXtl88E/s400/logcabin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392849859927187170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A couple of posts ago I included a &lt;a href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/08/belated-note.html"&gt;photo of a block&lt;/a&gt; for a new quilt in process. For this quilt, my goal is to use at least one vintage fabric in each block.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the second completed block. Can you tell which fabrics are vintage?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Answer:&lt;br /&gt;block #1 (&lt;a href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/08/belated-note.html"&gt;previous post&lt;/a&gt;): all four of the red and white fabrics&lt;br /&gt;block #2 (this post): the red center square, the red and white stripes, and the red and white floral print&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(97, 120, 144);"&gt;Il y a peu de temps j'ai parlé d'un &lt;a style="color: rgb(90, 90, 90);" href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/08/belated-note.html"&gt;nouveau quilt&lt;/a&gt; en cours de réalisation.

You make it so nice to be back after being occupied with things other than blogging, creating, and antiquing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When life gets so busy and pulls me away from my favorite antiquing haunts, before long I start to feel like something's missing. That was the case over the past few weeks, so it was good-for-the-soul fun to go flea marketing the other day. Oh, this fabric. What is it about vintage mattress ticking that makes it so compelling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing you a happy week...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(97, 120, 144);"&gt;Bonjour et merci de tout coeur pour vos commentaires et mails pendant mon absence. Grâce à vous c'est avec joie que je retrouve mon blog et les loisirs créatifs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quand la vie devient si chargée et m'éloigne des lieux de chine que j'aime tant, il ne faut pas attendre longtemps avant que tout cela me manque. Tel était le cas ces dernières semaines. Alors, c'était le pied d'aller chiner l'autre jour. Ah ce tissu !

In fact, of all fifty U.S. states, it's the tenth largest in size but the least populated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a place where the outdoors are right outside your door, the sky goes on forever, the winter chill goes straight to your bones, and summer brings rodeos and county fairs. Cowboy hats, boots, and jeans are common. In some parts, wild horses roam alongside deer, antelope, elk, coyotes, and eagles. There are mountain ranges, desert, high plains, and places with names like Cheyenne, Yellowstone, Wind River, and Rock Springs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not quite sure how I ended up in Paris, but a friend visiting here from the small town where I grew up rightly observed that Paris is so beautiful because it was made by human hands, while Wyoming is so beautiful because it was made by nature's hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some ways, there couldn't be two more opposite places. In many ways, I feel fortunate to have known both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(97, 120, 144);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai grandi dans un village situé dans un grand état, composé lui-même essentiellement d'autres villages entourés de grands espaces. En fait, parmi les cinquante états aux US, c'est le dixième le plus grand et en même temps le moins peuplé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est une région où la nature est au pas de la porte, le ciel s'étend à l'infini, les grands froids d'hiver ne laissent pas indifférent, et l'été amène les rodéos et les "county fairs". Les chapeaux et les bottes de cowboy, ainsi que les jeans, sont courants. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(97, 120, 144);"&gt;A certains endroits, l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(97, 120, 144);"&gt;es chevaux sauvages errent aux côtés des biches, antilopes, élans, coyotes et aigles. Il y a des chaînes de montagne, le désert, de hauts plateaux et des lieux portant des noms comme Cheyenne, Yellowstone, Wind River et Rock Springs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je ne sais pas exactement comment j'ai atterri à Paris, mais un ami venant de là où j'ai grandi et qui nous rendait visite ici a fait l'observation à juste titre que Paris est si beau parce qu'il a été façonné par l'homme, tandis que le Wyoming est si beau parce qu'il a été crée par la nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Par certains côtés, deux endroits plus opposés ne pourraient exister. Et pour plein de raisons, j'ai eu tellement de chance de connaître les deux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Photo source: &lt;a href="http://www.wyomingtourism.org/"&gt;wyomingtourism.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-3323984002087438134?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/3323984002087438134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/07/cowgirl-in-paris.html#comment-form' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/3323984002087438134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/3323984002087438134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/07/cowgirl-in-paris.html' title='A Cowgirl in Paris'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SlSWYMkTtUI/AAAAAAAABo8/UfsJ7gRaJY8/s72-c/wyoming.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-4424149320941706899</id><published>2009-07-03T14:24:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-07-03T20:57:17.667+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vintage Inspiration'/><title type='text'>Vintage Inspiration</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sk3wcupEsfI/AAAAAAAABok/Aw99KQj0N74/s1600-h/piles1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 328px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sk3wcupEsfI/AAAAAAAABok/Aw99KQj0N74/s400/piles1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354199908360696306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sk3wcOsHNUI/AAAAAAAABoc/oDyS0o2oSIQ/s1600-h/piles2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sk3wcOsHNUI/AAAAAAAABoc/oDyS0o2oSIQ/s400/piles2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354199899783509314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sk3wb2wcclI/AAAAAAAABoU/kCKZiprYQlY/s1600-h/piles3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sk3wb2wcclI/AAAAAAAABoU/kCKZiprYQlY/s400/piles3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354199893359227474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A few of the many things that inspire me are vintage French bowls, dishes, and tea towels.

Since I can't bring myself to part with them (and you never know when they might come in handy...right?), once in a while I dig through them and try to prove to myself (and to my husband, understanding though he is) that I can actually put them to use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was the case with this little lavender-filled pincushion made of vintage fabric and linen. And I hope there will be many more projects like this to come!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(97, 120, 144);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au fil des ans j'ai accumulé pas mal de bouts de tissu. Comme je n'arrive pas à m'en séparer facilement (et on ne sait jamais quand on en aura besoin...n'est-ce pas ?), de temps à autre je fouille dedans pour essayer de me convaincre (ainsi que mon mari, même s'il est compréhensif) que je peux en faire quelque chose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tel était le cas avec ce pique-épingle fait à partir de tissus anciens et rempli de lavande. J'espère qu'il y aura plein d'autres projets comme celui-ci à venir !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-1188992357673042485?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/1188992357673042485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/06/patched-together-pin-cushion.html#comment-form' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/1188992357673042485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/1188992357673042485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/06/patched-together-pin-cushion.html' title='A Patched-Together Pincushion'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SkJYmAfeXLI/AAAAAAAABnE/o56xOhwWt2o/s72-c/pincushion.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-357155323548819178</id><published>2009-06-19T22:14:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-22T18:56:44.812+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Things I&apos;ve Made'/><title type='text'>I Couldn't Resist...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SjvoMbBcZtI/AAAAAAAABmU/v6pH6v_P-tU/s1600-h/listl-taker.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SjvoMbBcZtI/AAAAAAAABmU/v6pH6v_P-tU/s400/listl-taker.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349124282542483154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SjvgUgZHUzI/AAAAAAAABmM/oHADyvVoATE/s1600-h/list-takerinside.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SjvgUgZHUzI/AAAAAAAABmM/oHADyvVoATE/s400/list-takerinside.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349115625329873714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;...making another one of these quilted list-takers (more details can be found &lt;a href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/05/its-may-giveaway-day.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).

It's not perfect and has some uneven seams, but that's actually what I like about it -- it's just a whimsical, take-me-as-I-am kind of pillow. More importantly, my son likes it, so I guess it's a keeper.

Malgré leur age, les couleurs sont aussi vives et gaies que ce qu'elles devaient être neuves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ces bobines m'inspirent pour réaliser quelque chose dans ces tons -- je ne sais pas encore &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(97, 120, 144);"&gt;quoi exactement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(97, 120, 144);"&gt; -- mais ce dont je suis sûre, c'est que je les trouve ravissantes ensemble.

After sewing for a bit, I start to miss cross-stitching and vice versa, so it's nice to combine the two in a single project like this. I used the same &lt;a href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/06/made-in-france.html"&gt;coloring wallet tutorial&lt;/a&gt;, but adapted it a little. This one is for favorite photos, mementos, souvenirs, baseball cards, scraps of paper, postage stamps, or other things that a child might like to collect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cross-stitch pattern, by Perrette Samouïloff, is from the book "Broderie &amp;amp; cartonnage pour enfants sages" (I just changed some of the colors so that I could use the thread that I already had). Doesn't that little boy look like he jumped out of bed in the morning, threw on his clothes, and flew out the door without brushing his hair?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(97, 120, 144);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...mais dans un autre style. Quand je couds, le point de croix me manque, et vice versa. Ce qui est sympa avec un projet comme celui-ci, c'est qu'il y a les deux.

The embroidery projects in it are beautiful and the photos all have a vintage theme. Ever since the first time I thumbed through it, one of my favorite vintage objects in it has been the tiny doll in the picture above. I'm not sure why, because even though I find them adorable, I've never been especially drawn to vintage dolls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, my sewing and embroidery "to do" list has gotten pretty long and I hadn't looked at this book in a long time (maybe a year?). Then the other night, in search of some embroidery inspiration, I pulled it out. And, as usual, I ended up at this page, smiling at this cute little doll. And that was that. It was time for dinner and the book went quickly back on the shelf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But guess what I found at the flea market the very next day? The exact same doll. I'd never seen one like her before and I don't know if I'll ever see another one again. Actually, I didn't find her - it's more like she found me. And the strange thing is, this same thing happens every once in awhile.

The front is coming together and I'm planning on using these fabrics on the back of it. It's fun to put together lots of little boy-ish prints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is going to be a really colorful quilt, but for some reason I keep taking photos of the blues and greens.

I should mention again that the idea for this quilt comes from Alissa of &lt;a href="http://www.handmadebyalissa.com/"&gt;Handmade by Alissa&lt;/a&gt;. If you're interested in quilting with a fresh modern look, her blog is definitely worth a visit.

I love vintage fabrics and have just collected them for many years. For example, I've been sort of hoarding these two giveaway ones for quite awhile (a good reason for me to part with them - they should be put to use somehow rather than just sitting hidden in a basket).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why give these away? Well, it's nice to be able to share an interest in vintage fabrics with other people who like them, too. Also, it's a way to show my appreciation for the visits and kind comments that I've received on my blog. Being a mother to a little boy keeps me really busy and I'm not able to visit/leave comments on other blogs or respond individually as much as I'd like to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Have a nice weekend! :-: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bon week-end !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-9080308689189641845?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/9080308689189641845/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/03/thank-you-and-giveaway-winner.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/9080308689189641845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/9080308689189641845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/03/thank-you-and-giveaway-winner.html' title='Thank You and The Giveaway Winner'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/Sc1Dqxl211I/AAAAAAAABVY/n7xmDgcpA3w/s72-c/random.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-793171941348739755</id><published>2009-03-23T20:57:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-23T21:00:51.194+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etcetera'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vintage Inspiration'/><title type='text'>:-: A Vintage Giveaway :-:</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/ScfbQHQLpWI/AAAAAAAABUw/z7X_696B4Vw/s1600-h/giveaway1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/ScfbQHQLpWI/AAAAAAAABUw/z7X_696B4Vw/s400/giveaway1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316458955005470050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/ScffM7PzOYI/AAAAAAAABVQ/-nDuACGfChY/s1600-h/giveaway.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 310px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/ScffM7PzOYI/AAAAAAAABVQ/-nDuACGfChY/s400/giveaway.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316463298289547650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This giveaway is for two pieces of navy blue and white vintage fabric and some vintage labels. In the first photo the colors appear darker than they really are -- the second photo gives a better idea of the colors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fabrics are some of my favorites -- they are like new and have never been used, but they have that irresistible vintage fabric feel to them. The labels could be used for organizing your craft space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To enter, please just leave a comment -- if you have any questions about participating or leaving a comment, you'll find details &lt;a href="http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/02/red-and-white-giveaway.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This giveaway ends on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Friday, March 27, 2009 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6 pm Central European Time (CET)&lt;/span&gt;.

It's cut on the bias, which I'd never done before, but it was actually easier to do than I'd imagined (there's a helpful video &lt;a href="http://www.expertvillage.com/video/84868_quilting-basics-bias-binding.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;). Now I just have to figure out how to piece together the back of the quilt (the plan is to use fabric that I already have) before basting the layers together with safety pins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since I started this quilt, in the back of my mind I've been wondering where in our little home there would be space for this. Well, it's looking like it might require moving some furniture out of the way so that I can stretch it out on the floor (fortunately, my husband is a very understanding man).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;:-: Hope you have a nice weekend :-:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;:-: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bon week-end&lt;/span&gt; :-:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-2736195463367812608?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/2736195463367812608/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/03/quilt-binding.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/2736195463367812608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/2736195463367812608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/03/quilt-binding.html' title='The Quilt Binding'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3418/3351612752_44a1295505_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-2098977526556014327</id><published>2009-03-10T13:49:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T20:33:59.398+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Things I&apos;ve Made'/><title type='text'>The Finished Quilt Top</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SbZM9-sQvmI/AAAAAAAABTw/OmrZ_QptTAg/s1600-h/quilt2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SbZM9-sQvmI/AAAAAAAABTw/OmrZ_QptTAg/s400/quilt2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311517438214454882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SbZM-FONNMI/AAAAAAAABT4/-UQcrZXxdM0/s1600-h/quilt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SbZM-FONNMI/AAAAAAAABT4/-UQcrZXxdM0/s400/quilt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311517439967442114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The quilt top is finished, with all 20 blocks and the white sashing sewn together. I've decided to name this quilt "Past and Present" because it's made of both vintage and new fabrics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the largest sewing project I've worked on (it measures 65" x 80" or 1,65m x 2,03m), so it's been satisfying to watch it come together. I think the next steps -- quilting and binding -- will be challenging (maybe I should have made a baby quilt  first as practice :), but I hope to learn a lot in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you have a wonderful week.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6246870654061128067-2098977526556014327?l=www.petitsdetails.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/feeds/2098977526556014327/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/03/finished-quilt-top.html#comment-form' title='23 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/2098977526556014327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6246870654061128067/posts/default/2098977526556014327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.petitsdetails.com/2009/03/finished-quilt-top.html' title='The Finished Quilt Top'/><author><name>petits détails</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03675702112502224138</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SM90833qTqI/AAAAAAAAAlY/KwxrWjNtkug/S220/smallstamp.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eXJJnFLaIfA/SbZM9-sQvmI/AAAAAAAABTw/OmrZ_QptTAg/s72-c/quilt2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246870654061128067.post-6083059354185066242</id><published>2009-03-03T22:24:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-03T22:56:29.815+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Things I&apos;ve Made'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etcetera'/><title type='text'>Happy Month of March</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29469564@N07/3326403678/" title="A Linen and Lavender Bag by petits détails, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3572/3326403678_6b3e1c7dbe.jpg" alt="A Lavender and Linen Bag" height="300" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="" width="400"&gt;&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.nobrtable br { display: none }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="nobrtable"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;table border="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29469564@N07/3325566709/" title="A Lavender and Linen Bag by petits détails, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 150px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3629/3325566709_c67082b7d1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;" width="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29469564@N07/3326404182/" title="Appliqué Heart by petits détails, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 150px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3625/3326404182_08dd824b17.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29469564@N07/3326403154/" title="A Linen and Lavender Bag by petits détails, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3577/3326403154_6f9b4b6c09.jpg" alt="A Linen and Lavender Bag" height="380" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bag was inspired by the floral fabric that I used for the heart and drawstring casing.

Just to follow up, the quilt status is -- 13 blocks done, 7 to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cozyhomemaking.blogspot.com/2009/02/sharing.html"&gt;Sonia&lt;/a&gt; has nominated me for an award.
