BEAUTIFUL GIFT FROM A BEAUTIFUL BLOGLAND HEART

This little heart made from old fabric and laces ,and with a beautiful Paper Whimsy image found when visiting NANCY  on her wonderful blog, here.... I made today after finishing another doll!

When blogging you find so many beautiful friends, whom all have so very big and lovely hearts.

One of them is the very dear , and fabolous artist,-and my close dear friend, ever since we met ,last year : Suzy 

Just look what the post brought me yesterday-

A fabolous journal, she made for me- as a gift - a gift just like that- !!!

Suzy had told me there was someting on i`ts  way- but I never ,never thought , that that something would be this gorgeous journal.

The 10 pages is filled with beautiful and special fabric-and laces-in many layers,

combined as only Suzy is able to do , as she have her own very special touch to all she creates. 

wonderful stamped pieces

Lovely ,lovely laces, can you see all those wonderful layers of beauty?

all kept in soft tones of aqua and earth

a little gold and rosa tones, too.

and more fantastic stamps---this is the back

and here I try to show, how wonderful "fat" it is!

This gift took my breath away,- It is a gorgeous labor of love- and I never imagined I would hold one of Suzy`s most beautiful journals in my hands.

I felt so thankful, holding this - I can`t express how much, but my heart is so  touched , and I say

THANKYOU   dearest Suzy, I  love you -you know.

*****

Sunday morning I take another little trip to se my daughter, and grandkids an son in law- I am home again wednesday next week.

So dear friends ,if you don`t hear from me, you know why.....I will be back -visiting you all when returning home, eager to see and read all you have posted .

For now- happy week-end to you all-

Hugs and love-Dorthe

CHRISTMAS CREATION AND A WALK IN THE WOOD

Yes I`m still taking small breaks from the doll sewing- making small cosy christmas pieces.

Lately I have seen so many cute houses everywhere-and wanted to make my own.

I had a tiny wood birds house, and the wooden old spool is from my dear friend Robin.I used embossed metal paper (from my Bog Shot ) Diamond glace glitter and a sweet dove-it`s app.16 cm high.

Yesterday my husbond dragged me out of the sewing room- to take me on a tour to a wood, running along side the sea.Here we parked our car.

See how close we were -isen`t it beautiful?

So gorgeous colors- the water is on the right.

Me in front of the sea.

And this very beautiful old yellowed tree.

Tonight is Halloween - and I wish all my American friends a wonderful "scary" and funny Halloweens Eve.

And ofcourse everyone else whom celebrates tonight-

Tomorrow is first november-and another month dissapered just in a blink-I know most of us will not have more time to relax and enjoy the -NOW- in this coming months -but lets give it a try :)

LOVE AND HUGS

MORE OF ALL KINDS OF CREATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS SHOWS

YES A NEW COLLAGE-

many of you have asked what I meant about "only making dolls"--and I wrote that as an excuse for myself....

the deal here is that I mostly sell my dolls in my real shop, and therefore I really should almost only create them, now for the christmas shows coming up....

But my heart is with those mixed media pieces so very much ,also- that I simply have to do some other things ,than the dolls, now and then :)

This collage in white-grey and black, shows a very beautiful copy on fabric, of a lovely lady. The original is owned by a friend whom collects those old photoes, and whom lend me his map, to make copies of all I wanted-  Thankyou.

Here a fairy, with a sweet smile!

and my little winter angel, --I made many of her, this year.

A more simple but sweet angel, made from an old doily.

As you can see, there are many different dolls in my shop right now, and more are following.

I`m frankly tired of sewing like this, every day- but have to continue ,the best I can.

I guess many of you, are very bussy creating just now-just like me- and I wish you all wonderful hours .

Also thankyou so much to all the new followers - I`m so happy you are here-,just very bussy right now, so not much time left to visit you.

Love and hugs- to you all.

TIME FOR A NEW COLLAGE- AND SOME WONDERFUL GIFTS

Even it really is not "allowed" for me ,to sew anything else than dolls (well almost) I had to make this collage today- I missed putting fabric`s and laces together-and also had sold many of the collages in my shop,SOOO I took time for this.

It is all fabric- no paper- the bird is made with gel-transfer- and the text and mark is copied on fabric, in my ink-printer.I used old,and new laces as well.

And after visiting a dear friend Diane  

at Diane Knotts Musings I was so inspired to sew an apple--this is my winter apple, with

"ice" on to top.

I have got some awsome gifts resently- and this is from my very dear friend- Paula.

Paula embroidered the little pincussion after an old pattern- isen`t it a beautiful  piece.Her stitching is fantastic.

Sweet Paula also sewed the  pumpkin to me, -it now rests on top of a tarnished silver candlestick.

and in front of the pincussion is two halloween tags also from Paula.

Thankyou so much dearest angel friend, you are in my thoughts .

And look at this so beautiful envelope-it was made of Robin- whom have become a very dear friend also.

Robin has an Etsy shop, and I LOVE shopping there- go take a look at her crasy and beautiful creations

Inside this wonderful packaging waits the sweetest gift for me...

Spool-doll Trixie- isen`t she just to love?

Robin so generously gifted me with Trixie when I ordered her bigger sister :Herbs-here with a bird from home- BOO.

Thankyou Robin dear- and congratulations with today.

The pumpkins behind is another story ,coming later.....

Nine o`clock- time for evening tea - and time for wishing you all a lovely day,-or night-

I`m so happy for all the new follovers whom are visiting my blog-

many of you don`t have a link to your blog on your profile page ,so I can`t find you- I`m sorry about that.

Love and hugs, to all

THANKYOU ALL DEAR FRIENDS,YOU ARE WONDERFUL

THANKYOU FROM MY HEART-

--calling for help, you are all there-you are the best of friends.

Unfortunately it seems ,that so many of you ,do have the same problem ,as I have-and that noone can solve it without changing to another browser!! I`m a chicken ,so I will hope for better dayes, from Blogger- and wait-like many of you also do.

And a funny thing is, that it seems ,some of the dissapering comments,arrives annyway-we just can`t see it.

That happened with both the somment to Theresa, and also to Tanya.

And speaking about Tanya, from Bead and Needle-- look what I bought from her shop lately!

Tanya makes the most beautiful jewlery, and when she newly had a sale in her shop ,I could not talk sence to myself, but had to "hit the button" saying : BUY

isen`t this necklace the most gorgeous piece?

Tanya and I met not long ago, -she is a very sweet and talented woman-and I love visiting her blog.

And she is also a most generous friend , see what followed the necklace I bought-

A beautiful present :earrings that match in the most wonderful way - Thankyou dear Tanya, I love them, and I love the birds used ,and the sweet nest in the necklace.

Also ,there was this beautiful old laces and kerschif,---fragile and lovely,

beautyes from far apart ,that made my day, and still does.

Thankyou again dear Tanya.

*********************

And last -but CERTAINLY NOT LEAST- photoes of my two beautiful grandchildren.

I have just visited them-and their parents -this week- and we had  some wonderful hours together.

I alwayes miss them in my every day life-as we live far apart, -so once a month I try to take a tour to see them.

I think they are the sweetest and best grandchildren, ever :)

**************

I wish all of you a beautiful week-end, and once more,

THANKYOU for alwayes being there for me , you are the best!
