SUMMER CREATIONS and a vacation

Here is a new angel, sweet and long-legged waiting in my shop, to be sold,
she is dressed in old laces-and beautiful fabric`s.

And maybe you remember me telling that my dear friend Anni and I desided to make each other a tussi mussi for each our birthdayes, which are both in june.So this is what I made her

it is real big, and the fabric ,folded around the form is partly old,partly new.

There is a little bird living on top of it, and I enjoyed hanging the sweet tools in rusted metal, to show the garden team , so beautifully added with the sweet girls.
I`m so sorry I do not remember from where it is, -if you know ,please tell me ,so I can tell it here.

I am glad Anni loves it.

A late beautiful yellow rose in my garden- which apart from this one, only holds pink,rosa, white, and lilla, coloured roses.-But it is so lovely, so I keep it.

Friday morning, we will take on a little vacation- and to my niece`s wedding.
Ditte is a fantastic fiddler and have played all over the world
She is marring her dear Sigurd, also a wonderful musician
You can click the  last link to see,them both on You Tupe.I love them.

My sweet friend Lena, will live here while we are gone, and take care of the shop- I am so garteful for that.

HI I´m here back again

Hi all dear bloggers and friends,-yesterday my daughter and her family left for home, and we are here "allone" again,  after one week of many wonderful hours together.


As I have not been creating for this week-I thought I would show you the gifts I made for my dear friend Julia , `S  birthday.
This driftwood angel ,I can only show you the top of, as the other fhotoes unfortunately were very bad!


This is an  old wooden curtain stopper, found on fleamarkets- if lucky....
My husbond made the foot for me, and then I decorated with paint ,silverleaves,old text and image.

Also made sweet Julia a bird, and decorated the old spool with silkthread, with a domino charm.

Another domino charm, that I knew Julia loved, and a tiny envelope with letter inside.

and ofcourse a card for my friend.


***************
Some time ago I was the unbelivable lucky winner in a giveaway, from
Terri Heinz  from Artful Affirmations

Just look what she send me ...a wonderful bunch of everything beautiful, and funny to create with.

Look at this old document, and the two transparent tissue sheets Terri made herself-you can see a tutorial on her page of how she does that-I just love them.

Dominoes, pearls, flowers

papers of all kind-beautiful images, tags , little books to decorate,

laces, blings, and more fantastic images, and papers.

Can you believe all that wonderful stuff,?  I got my eyes wide open when I saw it all.
THANKYOU  Terri ,so very much , I feel like the luckyest girl in the class  :)
and can`t wait to play with all this.

Waxed Collage - and more gifts, from dear friends of mine.

As some of you know, I am taking part in some of the classes on Roses on my Table and this is my first waxed collage. I love Zinnia`s  workshops, they are wonderfully teached with lots of videos, and you can take all the time to create-as they are not time limited.
I`m kind of out of my zone hier with all the colors, but I loved to try working like that.

This beautiful little pillow is from my dear friend Marie of Lost bird Studio
can you see the beautiful details ? I so love the nest.

Here from the behind,with a pocket, and verce -it is the most lovely pillow,from a most sweet friend.

And this wonderful tag, ,with the D and the sweet text , isen`t it lovely?

Sweet Marie also send me some beautiful serviettes-I almost can`t bare to use them, as they will be gone then-hihihi- look closely to also see the beautiful embossing thing Marie gave me to my Big Shot maschine.
Thankyou sweet, for all your lovelyes, -I adore them.

The next packet came from my very dear friend, from Denmark :Anni


She made me the sweetest fabric card, with the two soul friends,isen`t it just so romantic and beautiful?


And the most lovely pink tussie mussie--We had agreed to swap a tussi for our birthdays which were only3 dayes apart from each other. This is in my favorite color- pink :) I love the tag,too.

Anni also made me this beautiful icon fastened on an old music sheet-and the madonna made on an old
domino brick.The doily and all fabric used for my gifts Anni colored with Avokado- so wonderful colors.
This is also a beautiful icon-in such a lovely color-and another domino on top ,with
vergin Mary- so very lovely-
Thankyou so much dearest friend- I love it all, Anni.


And last week I had a wonderful surprice, recieving the most beautiful present from dear Sharon from Livewire Jewlery  see the sweet tag, with the hearth lock-

Inside I found the most gorgeus vintage rosary - I collects them and this is so beautiful.
It was hiding in Sharons lovely pouch- real shabby and wonderful.I love the rose with bling inside.

Sharon even added beautiful bits and pieces -beautiful babric and buttons-and the juicy green handcolored doili. Sweet friend, I love it all. Thankyou from my heart.


The rest of this week, I am having my Mathilde here, her parents have had a huge water disaster in their cellar and garden, because of a very big thunderstorm that hit Copenhagen ,where they live- so the sweet little girl will have some dayes on hollyday with her grandparents :)
Well now you know that I will be not that much on my computer this week- but I will have lots of fun here, and return very soon.
Till then  I wish everyone all the best- and sends you love and hugs.
Also welcome to new followers,  I am so happy to see you all.
