Hibiscus Embroidery Tutorial / Tutoriel de broderie pour Perles & Co

Discover my embroidery tutorial for the DIY online site Perles & Co!

I had the pleasure to create this tutorial for the summer, and it seemed that an embroidery tuto on a tee shirt was ideal to start off the summer. The tutorial is now available online here - in French only but the step-by-step photos make it easy for everyone :-)

🇫🇷Vous pouvez maintenant retrouver mon tutoriel broderie pour l'été sur le site de Perles & Co!

J'ai eu le plaisir de collaborer avec Perles & Co suite à la sortie de mon livre aux Editions de Saxe en mai dernier, et c'est assez naturellement que j'ai eu envie de créer un motif aux couleurs de l'été à re-broder sur vos tee shirts!

Le tuto en entier est disponible sur le site de Perles & Co ICI.

Bonjour!

Welcome back to the blog today, as I am very happy to share a big news: my DIY embroidery book that got published in Japan exactly two years ago is now available in French as well! It's truly a dream come true, I have worked so hard over the past year to make it happen 😊The Editions de Saxe have been so easy to work with and I am forever grateful for their thrust and support.

I hope to inspire even more people around the world to try out embroidery and truly enjoy it ♡

Now to find a publisher in English! 😉

C'est un rêve qui se réalise enfin, après une année d'efforts et de travail pour trouver une maison d'édition. Je remercie énormément les Editions de Saxe pour leur soutien et leur confiance!

J'espère inspirer beaucoup de personnes autour du monde à essayer la broderie, et à apprécier les moments de paix qu'elle peut apporter. ♡

Je vous souhaite une très belle découverte de chaque projet de broderie, n'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous aviez besoin de conseils ou d'aide sur la réalisation d'un projet!

NEWS | DIY Embroidery book soon available in French & Chinese!

Cover & inside the Japanese version of the book

Dear friends,

As you may know, my first DIY book got published in Japan in April 2016. I had been looking for a French publisher for a few months when the Editions de Saxe in France sent me a positive feedback last year. 

I can now make it official: the French edition of the book should launch in the first quarter of 2018 - we look at May 20, 2018 ♡ It compiles the same 25+ projects of embroidered accessories from brooches to earrings, pendants, necklaces and even hair accessories. Each project includes the template as well as detailed instructions.

The fact that I recently heard from my publisher in Japan that a Chinese version is also in the pipeline topped it all, and made me even HAPPIER!

I am of course very excited about this news, I have translated the book myself over the Christmas holiday and I (again) poured my heart into it. I hope you will love it! 

Heart brooch project (p. 56) & camellia brooch project (p. 42)

By the way, I still have a few copies of the Japanese edition available in both my online shop and on Etsy, if you wish to have a peak...

It will be signed by me if you order it on my online shops ♡

TRAVEL Paris | Eating local food at Chez Victor

While in Paris (read my previous post here), we were introduced to a new and lovely place in the 14th district (métro station Pernety) called Chez Victor - that had opened early December 2017. 

Created and run by Victor Brun, the épicerie and restaurant is committed to propose fresh produce (vegetables, eggs, cold meats, drinks etc...) that come from maximum 100 kms from the center of Paris. Victor proposes simple yet delicious lunches Monday through Saturday and has recently launched his first Saturday brunch (booked out within a couple of days!).

I was charmed by the decoration of the space and the attention to details: the menu has been laser printed on wood, the floor recreates the effect of a Parisian apartment's wooden floor and the space is kids friendly too!

We wish Victor much success in his F&B venture and hope to visit again this year!

Loving the blue shade & the logo!

The épicerie side with fresh veggies, eggs and dry foods...

... and drinks of course (beer, wine, lemonade, sirups)!

Fresh eggs

Everything comes from no more than 100 kms from Paris

Cool & green decor!

Kids approved!

Loved the design of the floor! 

Self-service area for lunch

Fake and real plants: which one is which?

Another restaurant to mention in the same street would be Papy aux Fourneaux. 
The 14th district is worth exploring!!

TRAVEL PARIS | Starting the new year in the city of lights

Le Sacré-Coeur seen from the top floor of Galeries Lafayette

Paris is always a good idea 🎶

We visited the city of lights again right after Christmas and spent New Year's Eve there. Just a few days away from our daily routine and our quiet country side life.

As you can probably tell from the photos, the weather was awful! It didn't matter so much though because we had planned to visit museums rather than explore each and every corner of the town.

We went to the Picasso museum, the Museum of Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac and the Galerie de l'Evolution. We unfortunately missed the Dior exhibition at Les Arts Décoratifs, there was too many people (a 5-hour queue!) and I had not booked the tickets prior to going... dommage!

We also paid our yearly visit to the kitchen shop E.Dehillerin near Les Halles, discovered Chez Victor near station Pernety and the pâtisserie Karamel at Les Invalides. 

Overall a nice 4-day family trip with two children who ♡ going to Paris!

Not a good day to go up the Eiffel tower... 

In the Jardin des Plantes where are the Museum of Natural History 

and the Galerie de l'Evolution
