LITTLE BEAUTYES MADE FOR A VERY DEAR FRIEND OF MINE

A card with a very beautiful image, that I think comes from a blog called Artefachts with wonderful freebies.

I placed a beautiful scheleton leave  I found, apun her, and gorgeus lace fabric ,and handmade paper,too

The little hearth is decorated with a bird transfer, lovely embroidered fabric-and the beautiful poem from Emily Dickson-don`t you love it?

3 beauties from my garden, :

an almost white peony

Madame Alfred Carriere

And a very old wild rose in our garden-so beautiful and fragile,

and so quickly gone.....

Tomorrow it is Sct.Hans evening  -a heathen celebartion of midsummer- where we have bonfires all over, and meets in every town ,to see the "witches" being burned- singing midsummer songs, and maybe eat with family or friends. If the weather is not on rain, it is a beautiful evening, in the danish summer.

And friday it is my birthday, not to be very much celebrated- --one dear friend comes for dinner-and that is very cosy, and what I prefer :)

I hope you are all in good spirit, and feeling happy.

And I wish you a beautiful rest of the week.

Love and hugs Dorthe

A WONDERFUL LITTLE WORKSHOP

As you have maybe notised I added a button on my right sidebar- about a mini dress form tutorial! 

It is Karla, from Karla`s Cottage whom is hosting it ,and it is a very fun ,wonderful, and-- cheap little workshop.

Karla explains in 3 small videos how to make her beautiful dress forms-and I just had to try...

What do you think? I loved doing it

and dress her in beautiful old fabric`s

and even it is summer here, I thought she had to wear a little fur -

The top of her is a sweet cork from a wine bottle :)

I have enjoyed this workshop so much dear Karla-thankyou-

And this beautiful photo taken a few dayes ago, at eleven o`clock night-shows the view ,

while the sun went to bed here -and to shine on the other side of the world.

I too will soon go to sleep, -but first wish you a wonderful day or evening...

I just got my copy of  Sew Sommerset-and will take it with me -relaxing and reading.

Love and hugs, to you dear friends, and a huge thankyou for all your congratulations to me being featured in Pat Winters beautiful magazine- THANKYOU , you are such wonderful friends.
