Word association tag - and Lavender Rose case

Hello everyone!

Dear Ali just tagged me... She asked me to tell which word came to my mind in response to the words you can see on the left.
I did this very quickly, writing down the first association that came to my mind.
visit -> smiles
cake -> family time
period -> full stop
triumphant -> radiant
screen -> computer
neglect -> sadness
guitar -> Seb (he's learning the guitar)
loathe -> puke (not very delicate I know, but I find the English verb so evocative it's a word Seb and I laugh about a lot !)
sugar -> coat
montage -> cinema

Thank you Ali for the tag! That was a fun one. I'm honoured that you thought of me about this English voc tag! :)

I'd like to tag Jenna,(even though I still can't visit your blog, Jenna - maybe this will lift the spell?) Barbara, and Zoanna, if they agree of course :)

While I'm at it, here is my paltry progress on the Lavender Rose Sewing Case. I've just been so tired or busy in the evening lately that it's been difficult to stitch - besides, I also started stitching my Cat Crazy Lady Exchange (which Sylvie is moderating on the Robin's Nest board), which turns out to be rather dense; and I started sewing a box-pleated skirt.

I merely stitched the case flap to the left and the long-arm border next to it:

While I had every intention of making a good start in the accessories yesterday evening, I had to call it a night after only a few stitches because of a sudden headache (which also prevented me from sleeping for most of the night). You can see the tiny flower I started stitching on the bottom right-hand corner of the picture.
I am so sorry Karen to be lagging behind. I'm hopeful to make good progress very soon :)

Everyone take care! I should have more news soon with a new skirt finish to share with you :)

Isabelle, it's looking lovely! Honestly, don't worry about your progress at all and please don't apologise :) The accessories are pretty quick to stitch, so you'll have it done sooner than you think.

Sorry you had a headache and a bad night last night - hope you're feeling better today and that you get a good night's rest tonight!

Dear Isabelle,
I hope you're feeling better.
I'm back and I finally could take a look at your recent finishes. They're all lovely works, congrats Isabelle.
Kisses from Florence

Hope your headache is gone soon. Progress on LR is coming along fine and it looks beautiful.

Kim said...

It's still looking good and every little stitch is one more done. :D

Hope your headache is gone and you are having a great day. :D

Loathe-> puke. Very interesting...

I thought sugarcoat too. That's a little weird. Shouldn't it be sweet? or candy? or white? or brown? or a myriad of other things??? Are we too honest or too cynical?

Barbara said...

I had fun with the tag, Isabelle, and though you may find your progress slow, I think this is a beautiful project!

How're you feeling?

Heehee! Thanks for tagging me. I finally posted my answers. :)

I'm sorry that you had a headache, but I hope that you are feeling much better now.

Don't worry about your timing on the sewing case. I think the point is to have fun. ;)

*hug*

Firstly, I looooove your project, its really cute. Also well done for the "word game" - yes, puke is actually a funny word in that context :-))))

Enjoy your weekend Isabelle. I was at University all day today so came home very tired. Just starting my dissertation and have spoken to my supervisor about starting a PhD next year .... so I may be getting your advice about how to survive it, lol!! Hugs Ali xxx

This project is really beautiful! I fell in love with the design when it first came out - it's even prettier in your's and Karen's pictures.
