TINY OLD BABY BOOTS, DECORATED FOR EASTER .

Some time ago I received a sweet pair of fabric baby boots,

from my very dear friend, Terri  http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.dk/,

whom thought they could be decorated, and maybe  for Easter .

And so I did, and enjoyed very much to create a tiny  nest for some

real eggs, and a white dove in one boot,- a flower in the other !!

I added wool and nest material, together with a bow of 

beautiful seam binding ,on each !!

So here they are, now decorating my living room, 

with a few other Easter related, pieces. 

Thank you so much my dear Terri .

Have you started decorating your home ? 

It is lovely with a little spring inside, as outside we are still 

waiting for sun and warmth !!!

NEW SHABBY CARDS !!

A card , for a friend, in my favorite tones,

and materials.

Using nature stamps and soft colors with lace and

beautiful old and new papers.

The head was long ago, a gift from my dear friend Lynne-

Have you seen she now have created her very own stampset ....

two very beautiful sets , called : Lynne`s Affirmations .

 I  used  crackle medium, onto it , and like it very much!!

Another spring card using the wonderful Infusions ,

an embossed dandelion seed-head, and different stamps.

So fun to play with the Infusions .

Today we have a lovely sunny day, after a very grey sky and

rainy day yesterday, it is good to see the light, again.

Happy Sunday to you all, 

Hugs and love

My latest BIRD book .

It seems I`m very connected to creating cards ,collages, and even books with birds,

and also this time, I couldn`t resist creating another bird theme journal. 

It is also still a love affair with old laces, -and fabrics.

The birds are all transferred to fabric.

And I added nature things, like old bark, feathers, 

Words !!

findings from the sea shore, and drift wood !!

I love the birds related stamps, I have , and used them on fabric , too.

Remnants from the ocean !!

Pearls and laces,

a piece of cord, found like that, on the shore,

and beautiful buttons !! 

She got a little bling , :-)

Love the tulle, and thin fabrics to see through .

And at last the back cover showing the wing of that amazing

appliqué bird !!

Thank you for following me, all the way to the bottom,

so many photos , but wanted to show every page, to you.

As you can see, I am in spring mood, and spend the afternoon cleaning up my new garden.

Everywhere the sprouts are saying hello, now, and I`m so exited to see what it is,

when blooming, soon .

I wish you all, a very wonderful weekend, dear friends.

Hugs and love from Dorthe 

A WISH FOR A DOLL IN BLACK !

One of my very dear frieds, whom celebrated her birthday last week, 

-when asked for her wish, she said a doll in black !!

So off I went to the piles of fabric and laces , to see if I 

had something beautiful, in black. 

Black, not being the color I mostly use, made me think, it could

be difficult, but I found some beautiful piec es to use.

Tulle with embroidery , wonderful shiny pieces, pearls, and

flowers , -I was happy to see them form a wonderful dress !!

'

She got long black/grey hair, as well and a velvet hat.

She is now received ,and live far away :-)

The little heart was created for another friend,-

I love doing such tiny embroidered pieces, -the process

of slow sewing is so relaxing and peaceful.

This weekend we celebrate my dear Mathilde`s birthday,

which I look so much forward to.

So wishing you all a wonderful weekend,

Thank you all for your kind visits, they mean a lot to me, and are treasured !!

Hugs and love
