Just a little shout out for my dear friend Liz !!

My very dear friend ,

Liz   http://lululizinlalaland.blogspot.dk/

tries to collect money for dogs shelters in

 Bulgaria, Romania and Portugal, where it seems they are 

treated so very badly by many people, it is really heartbreaking photos .

But this wonderful lady have decided  to try collecting money to help those 

working in the shelters to rescue as many dogs as possible from the 

terrible "life" they are living.

As many of you know,  Liz is a collector of all things French, and from her many 

wonderful finds, she now offers a lot of different things on auctions,-

for you to bid, if there are some of the pieces, you favor.

Here is an example 

Here another,  but there are so many wonderful finds to study, and maybe

bid on, if you want to give yourself a special Christmas gift, and in the

same time help in making better circumstances for some dogs, needing to

be just a little lucky !!

Thank you for reading this, and for maybe visiting Liz,

and bid,- for her to help!!

I hope your weekend will be just wonderful.

CHRISTMAS IN MY HOME !!

Little by little, Christmas is arriving to my home, but I have not all up, yet,

and as many of you knows, we only bring in the Christmas tree a few days

before Christmas Eve, which here is on the 24`th .

But in some of my windowsills, Christmas is glittering and sparkling,--

this little house I made last year ,  it is difficult to photograph in all

the light, but you might see, the manger to the left, and the deer

and Christmas trees to the right. Also my little loved angel, which  I recieved

from a dear friend, Terri http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.dk/. is there.

She created this adorable angel for me ,for christmas, one year, isen`t she lovely !

Here a little closer, for you to see her better .

I love "Buttle brush trees " and this little collection shows,

two smaller I purchased from another dear friend, Kimberly, https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/shop/ajoy2bheld?page=1- the taller one I bought last week in Copenhagen,

...it was the first year ever I spotted something like this in Denmark.

On my TV table some lovely hyacinths and a tiny glass piece, with place

for decoration inside and 4 candles in the corners .

And one of the cards send this year, to someone ,

I love sewing the cards, and just add a little paper.

Here a close up of the lovely lady ,and how I added a 

tiny bit of light to her, with paint, and stones.

Dear friends I wish you a wonderful weekend,

hoping you are all well, and wishing you some happy days, to come.

Love and hugs from

photoes from our nature , showing first the sea after a huge storn,

And these beautiful dried seads from a flower , which I`m not 

sure what is called , but looked so amazing,

that I brought them home, and decorated with them in my kitchen.

And lastly there is another photo of a beautiful sky, over the

Baltic Sea.

little ramblings. 

The rest of the week I will not be near my computer,  but with

Simply Neutrals #12 , Winter girl, Paperangel, and beautiful gifts !!

The other years I have made winter girls, in fabric, but this year I

chose to do some in white, not spun wool.

She is dressed in old lace, and knit, and holds a little

winter greenery and a heart.

This most beautiful card I recieved some time ago, from one of my dearest friends

Lynne https://lynnesbowsandbelles.wordpress.com/

I love her style , and wonderful art. 

See  the fantastic details here!! Such a beautiful card !!

Also I received this wonderful bunch of  Relics & Artefacts pieces,

which Lynne bought , --they are produced by Prima ,for Sandra Evertson, and 

you may remember the heart I coated with silver leaves, which also was

a gift from this fantastic stash !!

Thank you my dear Lynne, it was such a gorgeous gift, dear friend.

And latest my handmade roses, not really finished, yet, and a little paper folded angel ,

I hope you enjoyed my number 11 post of Neutrals, and that 

you will visit our lovely hostess Wendy  http://appleapricot.blogspot.dk/ and all the others

taking part in this lovely party !!

Wishing you all a safe and happy week.

SIMPLY NEUTRALS 11, - LETS ACT AND THINK WITH THE HEART !!

Even my head  is still  filled with the thoughts,and  the difficulty in

understanding ,what happened in Paris last  friday, 

and feeling so much,  with all those whom lost dear family members and friends,

I have chosen to post a little love here on dear Wendy`s

11 Simply Neutrals.

Because only with the heart we can change , what is causing

 fear ,and no hope for tomorrow, in so many countries!!

So here is my little heart of hope,

and my angel ,praying for the many whom lost their lives in Paris,

and many other countries .

And some simple beauty from my everyday,

for which I`m so grateful.

And as my dear friend Suzy, also write,.... I`m deeply

grateful for the many friends I have all over the world,

and I wish you all , piece , safety and blessings.

Thank you again dear Wendy, for making it possible for me

to join this loving circle of people, showing their beautiful world !!

Hugs and love Dorthe 

SIMPLY NEUTRALS 10 -CARDS AND NATURE !!

I have made so many paper cards , so now it

is time for using my fabrics and laces, for the last

christmas cards !

This one with the lovely lady in black and white ,transferred

to muslin,and with laces from my stash, is also perfect for,

Wens  wonderful Natural Party

I used a stamp for the text , little flowers,and pieces from

my scratch box !!!

This rock in my garden has been handled with care by

my German  friend , artist Matthiass Masswig

and some of my husbond `s chopped wood, stacked inside !!

Another card ,very simple , with an embossed background,

handcut white woolen felt flower leaves, and a little

silver bling,- can I say simple beauty !!

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

Thank you Wendy for another week, with SIMPLY NEUTRALS 

and for showing my silver cross on your beautiful blog, this week, sweetie .

Hugs and love ,to you all out there 

Dorthe 

ALREADY ONE WEEK GONE AGAIN, WELCOME TO NEUTRALS TUESDAY !!

First I will show you a cross I made the other day.

I had  this wooden cross cut out for a long time , and

finding it late October, naturally made me wish for a 

festive christmas cross, so I started with stenciling on top of

the whitepainted cross, then added silver paint and silver leafe

in the tips, and a faux  Cameo in the center.

The roses are handmade, too 

Here you see the "cameo" with silver glitter around !!

The next neutral is another winter card, using the

wonderful scate die with embossed background, fur,and a glitter

snowflake .

The glitter is not seen real well here !!

Lastly a little angel, created for my very dear friend,

using a paper pulp head ,bought on Etsy, I used an old

handkerchief for her dress, and created wings of papers and lace .

I painted the face minimalistic ,and her hair too.

I hope you like my neutrals listed this week, which I`m
