Long Valentine message

First... a bit of real stitching... with Curly Q Ewe. We are now 3 in the Stitch Along, as Isabelle Passionnee joigned us.

Fun fact: Curly, in French is a peanut flavoured cheesy puff.

I got part of my order from eHandcrafts, Crescent Colours and Home of a needleworker (too). Let's say it's the most important part ofthe order...

So yesterday was Valentine's day... So of course it was time for romance and not much of stitching. But I got a stitching gift in the form of "jardin de brodeuse" chart from Tournicoton.

Yesterday after work I caught DBF in my craftroom... Card making ! He painted this card, and stuck my favourite flower stitckers on it.

We stayed home, made experimental cuisine, and watched "Playing by heart" on dvd.

I even made the fireplace work, so you can see the romantic setting in from of the fire, with crackers and all.

So DBF made some experimental cuisine. It's basically mashed potatoes and ham on a bed of iceberg lettuce. I made the mashed potatoes following a family reciepe, and DBF made ham hearts.

Needless to say staying home for the evening was a good idea as it was freezing outside, humid and penetrating cold...

Now I have a 3 days week end, I might even do a bit of stitching !


------------------------------------------

Tout d'abord, un peu de broderie... Nous sommes desormais 3 dans le SAL, vu que Isabelle Pasionnee nous as rejointes.

Curly a desormais une partie du mouton...

Hier c'etait St Valentin, et en rentrant du boulot j'ai decouvert DBF entrain de me faire une carte avec de la peinture et des stickers !!!!

On a aussi fait un plat experimental a base de jambon, puree et salade.

J'ai fait la puree a l'ancienne,e t DBF a fait des coeurs de jambon.

J'ai meme reussi a allumer le feu ouvert au gaz (j'avais pas encore esaye), et donc vous pouvez voir notre installation romantique.

On a regarde "Playing by heart" en dvd, c'est un vieux film avec Gillian Anderson, Sean Connery et plein d'acteurs connus.

Le plan "Valentin a la maison" etait bien inspire vu le froid penetrant au dehors !!!!

Maintenant, je suis en week end de 3 jours, donc je vais peut etre pouvoir broder un peu ;)

It looks like you had a really nice day. Nice gifts too! I'm sure they will be a pleasure to stitch. Have a nice long weekend!

DH and I have just shared our wonderment on this post: We find it all very "mimi'. Love all of this, and DH loves the chimney with the bags that he has carefully detailed...
He is now talking about our own Valentine's day. I didn't get any card from him so I wanted him to see that DBF had been more thoughtful... Lol!
Hugs to you two!

C'est super romantique, et le détails du jambon en forme de coeur, trop choupi! Il faisait froid ici aussi et pas de cheminée, snif! (enfin si, mais elle ne marche pas).
