J’ai enfin terminé mon tapis ! Ça m’a pris environ 2
ans et même plus, je ne compte plus les heures de travail. Bien sûr je n’y ai
pas fait des petits points tout le temps, j’y vais plutôt par phases. Tous les jours pendant
un mois, plusieurs heures, et puis j’en ai marre et plus rien pendant plusieurs
mois.
Enfin ! C’est terminé ! On ne m’y reprendra plus à
faire un tapis aussi grand avec des points si petits. Je dis ça, mais je suis
certaine qu’un de ces jours je vais trouver un autre dessin qui me plait. Je me
dirai : bah ! je l’ai déjà fait ….c’est pas impossible.
My big rug is FINISHED ! After 2 years and even more. I can't remember how many hours it took me.
Of course, I didn't work every day. I go rather by phases. I will work every day during several hours for a month, and then I'm fed up and I do nothing more for several months.
Finally it's over ! I will never stitch such a large carpet with so many tiny points anymore. That's what I say today, but I'm sure that tomorrow I will find another beautiful chart. I will say to myself : "Bah , I have done it before.....nothing is impossible".

Il manque toujours le lit dans cette chambre .
By the way, the bed is still missing.

Le dessin a été fait par Nicola Mascall www.nicolamascallminiatures.co.uk . C’est un canevas
soie de 48 count, donc 48 petits points par inch. Il s’appelle « Paon et
oiseaux » d’après les tapisseries de William Morris. Ce grand nom du Arts
&Crafts tombe pile dans le style de ma maison.
The chart is by Nicola Mascall, on a 48 count silk gauze www.nicolamascallminiatures.co.uk .
The design is called "Peacock and Birds" inspired by William Morris. This top name of Arts & Crafts is exactly what I need for my Art Nouveau bedroom.
