Just wanted to post this cute idea for a pillow that was in the last issue of Marie Claire Idées. Love these happy yummy colors, and all the different felt flowers, don't you?
If you can read a little French, you'll see in the photo that Marie Claire Idées is going to have their first ever craft show in October near the Louvre! I have been so out of the loop lately what with my stupid new job, that I missed their yearly challenge. This time it was bags (purses, totes, etc.) and as usual the best ones will be pictured in their Christmas issue. All the bags they receive will be sold during the craft show, and the proceeds will go to the children's charity La Chaine de l'Espoir (translation: "Hope Chain"). I could kick myself because I really wanted to participate, and I let the date slip by :o(
I feel for you. I missed the challenge for the bags in QA.
Maybe we'll get lucky and Marie Claire and QA will have a re-run of their challenges.

I wanted to participate, too, but just let it go. Alas. But I am excited that the show will be in October--I will be in France!
Did I tell you where I will be? It is place called Dôle, in Franche-Comté. It's about 40 minutes by train from Besançon, and 2 hours from Paris. :)

You are sooo lucky you get that mag, and so lucky you can read it! I have a few, and always go in search of them at Barnes and Nobles when I feel it is time for them to arrive ;)
