I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOIED A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND!!


Here we have had both rain and sun today, but my husbond
and I managed a lovely walk together.

I also managed to finish something for a birthday present, 
this is a part of it !!


A photo from our walk today, -this is a tiny beach along the coast line , only 
half an hours walk from our own home. Look at the beautiful sky !


Also the Elderberry busches are so beautiful, now , with both green 
unripe berries, and black wonderful ripe  berries ,too.


Thank you again dearest friends whom so lovingly comforted me
with your comments after the death of my dear mother.
I can never thank you enough for all the love and kindness 
you gave me . You are the best friends anyone could wish for.

With love and hugs
Dorthe

Ooooh, elderberries! You know, the make the most delicious wine and if left for a couple of years, it is like a gorgeous smooth rich portwine. Errmm, I used to make country wines a lot, and we have just started again with plums this year. Ask me next year how it turned out, lol.
Your new project is looking great, such lovely lace and embellishments. I am so glad you are creating.

The birthday gift looks as though it belongs to a bygone era, a time of gentle ladies with lace gloves and pretty lace handkerchiefs. Such a beautiful image of the lady as the focal.
Dear Dorthe, thank you for sharing your artistry with us.
Wishes

Dear Dorthe

So beautifully arranged fabric collage. All that lace and light colours makes it look very romantic piece of art.
Picture of a calm beautiful beach is very comforting.
I am so, so sorry to hear about your dear mother passed away. I send you the warmest of hugs and wish you all the best for future days

with love

Oh, what wonderful weather you had for your walk! The beach looks beautiful. I love elderberries! I used to pick them from the wild and make jam, until the land was sold. The new people cut down the bushes--I could have cried.
That's a gorgeous birthday gift you're creating, Dorthe. You must carry much beauty in your heart to be able to create such beauty for others.

Tanya said...

Glad you found some creative time, my friend - just beautiful! And the second photo down, from your walk...breathtaking. I'm sure your Mom was smiling down from those clouds! XOXOXO

Hello dearest Dorthe, I'm glad to see you creating and enjoying nature and hope that gave you some distraction. The collage is lovely and such a wonderful birthday gift.
Are you going to make something with the elderberries? You can check out Pinterest for lots of recipes, like jelly, syrup, gummies and more.
Sending lots of big hugs and love your way,
Julia

Oh such a stunning lacey collage for your lovely friend sweet Dorthe! It certainly helps to fill the empty spaces of your heart creating such beauty!
That is such an incredibly picturesque photo of your nearby beach. It is so alluring! If only!!!!
Oh yes like Liz we have made Elderberry wine from our own Elderberries and how sublime!
Nature has so much to offer. Just imagine the colour from the dyed plant?

Hello Dorthe
Your tag is very beautiful and so is the area where you live. I feel so very sad that summer is over, I long to go to the beach on our big Great Lakes. Thank you for the words of encouragement after my stroke - it means so much to me! Nancy

I love your little beach Dorthe - what a perfect spot that would be for a picnic! And the elderberries! I love elderflower cordial but have never had anything made with the berries ... They look so pretty hanging there in great juicy clumps!
