What I was doing just before Easter !
No, I was not ready for Spring. I did wish so much to see some snow in Paris this year, that I resist and I keep hoping. So have you seen what I was just doing last week ? Trying on Jenny's pattern for Elfe Clogs !
Jenny, you made my day by leting us have this pattern on your blog. You are the first on my award list.

The greatest needle craft exhibition
"L'aiguille en Fête" is taking place tomorrow, until Sunday, in the Grande Halle de la Villette.
Here in Paris, it is THE exhibition for needlecraft of all sorts.
I have been setting up the Marie et Gustave booth today. It is right in the middle of the "Allée de la Brocante". This area of the show is the place where you can buy vintage fabrics and accessories for sewing and embroidery.
My own theme this year is based on Zakka trend. Of course it had to be ! The invited country being Japan, I could not resist to work on one of my favorite themes of inspiration.
If ever you are in Paris right now, you may as well step in, discover the rich world of today's needlecraft, and end up completely broke ! but with bags full of treasures ....
Here is my guest book, may some of you sign it in the next four days ...
