I'm back from my Mum's Birthday weekend, and decided to let the migraine that spoilt the entire last week stay over at my parents'
. It feels so good to be headache-free once again! Thank you so much for your kind notes and concern... They meant so much! 
Oh, and my Maman loved her embroidery!
Although my evenings last week were pretty busy, I cannot show you a single thing that I made - yet -, as they were gifts for three friends. But when I was back home last night, I picked up l'Ange du Sommeil ('the angel of sleep') again. I finished that big moon and went back to some of the angel's details:
(Stitched on a Silkweaver Belfast Solo)
This is going slower than usual, as the variegated threads call for one full cross stitch at a time. This is such an amusing project, though, and I am enjoying changing the colours to match the hand-dyed fabric. You can see the finished result in my left-hand sidebar.
Have a great week, everyone!

Your angel is turning out lovely, Isabelle. I decided to stitch one of them too. They're so cute!
Nice to see you back Isabelle :)
I'm glad your Maman liked her gift and that you've left that headache behind :)
Have a great week!
Hi Isabelle, so sorry to hear you have been plagued again with your headache - that's too bad!!!! I really love your Ange du Sommeil - especially those cute rosey cheeks. You are doing well with all your crafts. Hope that you feel better over the week. Glad Maman was pleased with her gift (of course!! it was gorgeous) Love Ali xx
Sympa ta version de l'ange du sommeil!!! belle toile!
Dear Isabelle,
Good to hear that your headache has left you. I bet the country side fresh air did you good.
Your angel is turning out beautifully. Have a lovely day.
Good progress Isabelle. Ann.
I love your angel! So cute.
This is a cute angel! Makes me smile when I look at him... And the fabric is really gorgeous!
Glad your mom loved her present! Well, she could but love it!
Take care!
that was a splenid idea: leaving your headache at your parents. I hope neither of them has a migraine now... lol. I'm glad with you: your energylevel must be up again.
and with the angel almost done, I hope you soon'll sleeping like an angel...
Ahh Isabelle your angel is looking really cute. I hope that your headaches keep away too.
You are making great progress on your angel!
Angel of sleep is coming along nicely. It's lost the alien look which is a good thing. The colour changes gives it a whole differant feel to the project. (In a good way)
Glad you had good visit. Your angel is very cut and looks great on the hand-dyed fabric!!
Hi Isabelle, Glad you had a nice visit! Your Angel of Sleep looks so cute!
I'm glad the migraine is gone. I hope it will stay away :-)
The angel of sleep is turning out very nicely :-D
Glad to hear your headache is gone! Your little angel is looking great! Love the colors. :D
I'm so glad the headache has finally left you!!!
So cute! I love the way the hand dyed threads look on that fabric. Definitely worth the one stitch at a time troubles.
So Cute! Hope you are feeling better.
Glad you are feeling better. Your angel is just adorable. I can't wait to see further progress.
I'm glad that you left the migraine to stay with your parents (though I hope that it's not taking up residence in one of their heads). :)
L'Ange is coming along quite nicely. She's going to be lovely when finished.
Love and hugs to my dear friend!
