of the handmade hanger.



One pocket shows an image of a birds nest, -and inside a" real" little nest



the other pocket(look at the beautifull stitch) has
birds on a branch,printed on, and to put inside ,she send me some branches
and a little feather from her garden.

I even got a present from dear Dawn, another charm, she made herself
with a beautifull piece of lace inside, -Thanks so much ,its beautifull
Dawn, and I feel blessed to resieve this altogether special packet.
Dawn your little dress is so wonderfull an art piece.
Its hanging on my wall,over the place, in the new painted
office room, where my PC is going to be,when my husbond
have made the shelf for it.
Thanks so much dear friend, I love it .

Do you want to see the last of my creations from the workshop

Here She is , I`m kind of proud of her, ---because JoAnnA challenged us to use
beautifull things we normally won`t part with, ----and I did that.


Her head is an old porcelain head that I repainted, the wings from an old
chandelier I have long kept on my shelf.And the hat from that too.

The body is a very old candlestick, and the beautifull foot from the
chandelier too. I put a little simmili around it.
The beautifull old flowers I got from a dear costumer.
It has been used on dresses on the Royal Theather in
Copenhagen


She is dressed in a piece of embroidered material, and braun tulle.


The sun is shining here today
