Finally I fished the flowerborder bag. I am not so satisfied with the model...... But I Love the fabric combination with the embroidered flowerborder. I hope to sell this one at the next summermarket the 15th of august.  The bag has a zipper closure, 2 inside pockets and is very roomy.

When you know Sue Spargo's work you surely admire here leaf samplers. I real they are even much more beautiful than on her blog.  She had taken them to Orvieto.  This is just an example:

Do you remember that I told you about the tea-cosy giveaway on Gayle's blog?Now i can tell you that I am one of the winners. My favorite was the mushroom one and ...YES ....I got it.
The box that I arrived in the mail was full of small packages, like Christmas....

Have you ever seen a knitted pea-pod? Erica sent me the pattern, which she found in 'Tijdschriftook' (Dutch magazine). She wanted one.....

In front of me was a stand where they sold some strange things....

Thank you my friends for your support, for crossing your fingers and your toes, for sending the sun this way, it was really helpful!

Tomorrow is the summermarket, in France called Brocante. The 14th of july is the French National Day, it commemorates  the storming of the Bastille in 1789, so it's a free day for everybody.

Yesterday we had heavy thunderstorms and today it's raining...... What about tomorrow???? Weather forecast is better but you never know.

Now you'll understand why I did not blog a lot this week. This is all I made:

I embellished the three Sue Spargo BOM blocks. It was really fun to do the embellishment and  to learn new stitches. Sometimes i changed threadcolors and added some stitches, so my blocks will not be the same as the other 400 participants.
