Create Daily - machine doodling

For those who may wonder, this is my glass feather:


On the first day, Alisa made us gather ordinary objects that can be turned into something creative. Just to realize that you don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy creating.
I had been cleaning my drawers, and was going to throw away a lot of old papers, broken pens, etc...You get the idea.
Instead, I kept those treasures, in particular an old metro map from Paris.
Perfect background for a doodling.
I "glued" it to a fabric using bondaweb, added some Angelina fiber.
My sewing machine was threaded, ready to be used. I could not resist the urge, and here it is:A Tour Eiffel.


I hope your evening has been as creative as mine...

Create Daily with Alisa Burke

Alisa Burke proposes a new "light" online class: Create Daily. This is my first class with Alisa, and I think I'll like it.
The class aims at showing us, busy women, that there is always a few minutes to be creative, with everyday objects.

In her last post, Alisa proposed to use a pen ball to do some doodling. Well, great idea.
I'm sending some item to my daughter, and thought the enveloppe was a bit blank. What about some doodling? But why make it simple when you can add some zest? I've been given a beautiful glass feather for my birthday, and inks for Xmas, so I grabbed my feather and my inks, and here is the result.

What a good feeling to have spent a few minutes "creating"!
I wish you evening is as happy as mine.
Take care.

Birthday card

Recently, I needed a birthday card.
Good opportunity to upcycle some leftovers.

Needle felted to make the background

Then I added some white batting (two layers, neddle felted too), and a few stitches, and here it is:

Joyeux Noel

Joyeux Noel, or Merry Christmas,

or whatever you are celebrating tonight!

By all means, enjoy your family, and your friends.

If you travel, have a safe trip.

Have the most beautiful evening with the ones you love.

Vienna by night

I think the pictures speak for themselves...
Enjoy this tour.

Naschmarkt

I love food markets. This one is a good one, believe me. You can find any ingredient you could dream of. Yummy.

You can eat them on the spot too

And bring lovely flowers back home

But before leaving, you must have a glass of Glühwein... Prosit

Have a nice week all!

Vienna in Austria

Hi to all,

A little explanation first: I went over to comment moderation, because it was brought to my attention that entering the random characters can be tricky. I've experienced it myself, so I could have figured it...
And I revert to the classic layout, for a very selfish reason: I can't read my own blog properly on Ipad...

Now, let's go to business.

This weekend, I took a plane to Vienna, and spent three days with my niece, her significant other and their baby. I had not met my niece for about 20 years, had not met her significant other, nor her baby. So you can imagine that we spent those three days catching up, and playing with the baby. Sightseing was not my priority, although we managed to do some (anyway, I wanted a good excuse to return soon :-).
We have spoken a mix of French and German, spiced with some English. So don't be surprised if I still mix those three languages :-) (I wrote several sentences before realizing they were in German...)
The weather was not very good, mostly overcast, as you can see from the pictures.

 I don't know what it is, but I liked it.
