Beth`s & Karla`s workshop,-and a sweet tutorial from Diane

Many of you surely knows, that Karla and Beth are hawing a new wonderfull workshop,

A romantic white christmas

As I`m too bussy, now, for realy  participating I only had the chance to do one thing,till now.

A darling mitten- --- which is only one of the many beautifull  pieces one can be taught and inspired to do.

If you did not check this out, click here, or press the button in my sidebar,for further information, you will not be dissapointet -those two ladyes are full of gorgeus ideas.

I used the pattern in half, -the dove and holliday schript -banner from the workshop.

and then a Paper Whimsy image.

This piece holds,all that is importent for me in christmas-time.:

The cross- the dove-for piece-the children to grow to strong ,caring adults-

and -love- between all humans

This morning I saw that my dear friend-Diane  gave a sweet and beautifull tutorial, to all of us.

A heart to hang wherever you have a place  ,to show a little beauty.

I could not  let this sunday go, without making my own attempt ,on her dear gift.

I used an image from Vintage Stampers Freebies   printet on cloth

and added a little pearls, and sequins,glitter,buttons,and

a mini madonna charm.

then gathered a piece of tulle, insertet between the front and bag.

Diane uses paper in the back,I chose a piece of old cotton.

This was a wonderfull day with a bit playing around, with those two lovely tutorials,

I also made some dolls faces, and had a walk in the rain....

A pretty lovely sunday.

I hope you all had equal wonderfull dayes, dear friends.

Happy new week to you all-Love and hugs, Dorthe

First Christmas card, and cone. A packet looking as droven over!!!

My first christmas card made this year--I bought the wonderfull sheet from Stampington.

and used the bird,together with bits of this and that....

This little cone (12 cm.long) made of zinc, I sold in my shop many years ago, and I have had some left...

This year I decited to use them, and decorate, them a bit myself.

I used rabbit fur, in grey ,silver band,a beautifull bling,bling and dipped the end of the cone, in silver glitter

I think it looks quit pretty!

Some weeks ago I bought Dawns dear sweet little fairy shoe pattern, -click and have a look!!

Dear Dawn has so many wonderfull tutorials, wonderfull photographed,and explained.

*****

It is so tiny and sweet, I only made one, for now,as I`m so bussy with my dolls

Now hold your breath, and take a look at the package I recieved some weeks ago from USA.

I have never seen something like it, and was almost afraid to open the plactic bag, it was kept inside!!!

But as I could see it came from my dear friend Vicki, I new it had to be my gorgeus beach bird nest.

Vicki makes the most fantastic knitted nests, they are like little jewels,and so lovingly made,

by hand ,of this sweet, and dear woman.

There it was, totally unharmed, beautifull looking, and only with a pair of pearls damaged in the emvelope.

I don`t know what caused this thing-the envelope pressed open ,totally black from some kind of dirt, ----

maybe ran over of something!!!!

but the sweet nest is here, in my house,so wonderfull made ,full of beach treasures, and 3 small handmade eggs ,dos`nt it look fantastic? I so love it dear friend.

Here it rests with a mermaid, given to me from  Bente, a dear danish friend

living in Australia.

Hope you all have a wonderfull friday, and week-end.

Thankyou so much for all the heartwarming wishes from you, to come make dolls with me--

How fantastic it would be, if it was possibly- but I guess it is only in my dreams :)

Thanks for every lovely hello, and comment,

love and hugs, Dorthe

This week-end 4 women I know well, arrived at my house at 9 o`clock both dayes, to make a doll with me.

We worked in my shop,- close to the working room, where they could use, what needed.

This is two dolls I made, --a fairy-and a witch--made from the same pattern--with very small changes,from one to the other.

This is the witch

here she is,flying on her broom, in my shop

And here a little collage from sunday,-as you can see there are both big thoughts,and happiness,

with wonderfull dolls, created in the end.

I so hope you are all well, and having a wonderfull november ,with beautifull creations, for the season to come----I try to work hard, to have lots of goods, for my christmas sale.
Wishing you all a beautifull week,-
hugs and love, Dorthe

MY SWAP PIECES ARE HERE

My dear family left yesterday,after 4 wonderfull dayes,-so I felt a bit lonely---but then

today my swap packet arrived ,and I felt embrased of the friendship in blogland.

***

 Jillayne  of , A Fine Seam, started and did all the hard work,to make this swap great.

Look what the sweet lady added, and made for all of us to ,to hold the 5 swap squares.

A beautifull pouch,with a handmade rosette, topped with a great bling,bling button.

She also ,so dearly made a beautifull heart, as gift.

Thankyou so much dear friend.

I recieved 5 beautifully made squares,-this first one comes from Teresa  the HeART of Words-

it is so beautifull, and I love the colors of water and sky -mixed with the red berryes and white snow.Every image wonderfully cut out, and placed onto a hymn --I love the tail, has been allowed to go outside the background, and the way the piece becomes a beautifull whole.

This next little winter wonder, has been made of my dear friend Diane from Diane Knott`s Musings.

She is a fantastic and so sweet artist, and makes the most beautifull art pieces -just look

at this little winter guy,freezing in the snow, with all the handsewn detaiels, love him !.

This wonderfully handpainted winter lady is made of  Tina One Wild Swan,

it is so much more beautifull in real, I am so in love with this sweet little face,and how she kind of belongs ,into the wonderfull snow land surrounding her.she is beautifully plased onto a silver card.(Reminds me of my childhood fairy tales)

The two last pieces are real christmas squares. Here a so sweet and cosy snowmann from  Nook Cranny Gifts    ,so wonderfully made with old  laces and fabricks, small cones,and pearls, look at the sweet background, and how he salutes the coming christmas.

This last one ,fantastic painted from Marcia  The Painted Gift-

is two darling snowmen amongst the beautifull green branches covered in snow, and decorated with christmas bowls. the snow is made so it looks almost real, and stands up from the background-they looks very cold both, :)

I feel so very blessed ,being able to recieve all those wonderfull artpieces, from people I even don`t know, -

that ..all because of Jillayne, and her very big work.

I know how much she did,to make this a happy event,-and it surely was,-THANKYOU  dear Jillayne.

***

And THANKYOU to you five wonderfull artist that made  me sit here with this beautifull bunch of  christmas themed squares, to make my december even more joyfull.

****

Sending you all , many autumn gretings-

and big hugs and love.
