Easter Week end

I've been living on chocolate for a good 24hrs now and my belly is not so happy anymore. Oh well, that will pass. :) We went to my parents' on friday night with the idea of going to the market on saturday morning. My Mom told me there was a fabric seller there and I was very excited to buy more fabric but unfortunately, I didn't find anything. 

That doesn't really matter because I was there to spend time with my family. :)

My Dad gave me this book. I love Billie Holiday. I wrote my thesis in college about her and I even have a tattoo of her face on my arm. I was very touched that my Dad got me a present. For no reason. That is very unusual.

We ate a lot and drank a lot. I got to try this japanese whiskey and I loved it. Very interesting taste.

That's from one of the pastry shops in Rambouillet. How pretty and colorful are these!

I made this cushion as a present to my Mom. I was so excited to give it to her. 

I asked her to take pictures of me because I was wearing the blouse I made, with sleeves!!! She started by only taking close up portraits... Not what I wanted! I didn't really care about my face...

Me telling her how I want the photo framed.

Finally!!!

And here is tonight's production (and my Billie Holiday tattoo btw). I learnt how to make button holes with my machine and I made a lapel! yay! This top is fuuuuull of flaws but I'm happy I gave it a try. And I love the fabric!

That's it for today, happy Easter!

Easter Week End - Food Galore and Little Things

For Easter I went to my parents with my boyfriend. We ate, drank and looked for eggs in the garden. :)

As usual my Mom fed us well. It's nice to live in France and have all of this great wine, cheese and pastries!

We had a successful hunt as you can see. :)

We brought back the stork statue from Alsace last October with my Grand Pa. He likes to move it around the garden when he goes to my parents'. He usually puts it in front of the dining room window so the stork can look at us eating and won't feel so alone.

Isn't my Grand Pa the cutest person ever? He's so much fun, always as a soothing word, he's the voice of reason and he's so modern in his way of thinking.

 Vintage teapot my Grand Pa gave me for Christmas.

My brother and I collect poker chips from Harley Davidson stores all over the US. This how I display them. I actually did the same thing my brother did. :p

I cleaned up the apartment and thought it would be fun to have this little scene to look at.

The purple haired doll is playing for the loving couple. :p
