3 LITTLE CREATIONS

Not much bigger than an ATC- is this hanger, with the beautiful PW image.
The :Chambers Bros ticket, was a big roll I was lucky to buy, from an antique store in Denmark.

Petite lavender cussion  -10 x 15 cm. --Here I used a rather new image from DEZINAWORLD 
June has some wonderful sheets and lovely blogs ,and I often visits for a little buy- as I think she offers to very resonable prices-and very sweet images.
The image is printed on canvas sheet.

The number 2 lavender cussion  is  9 x  18 cm- and unfortunately I can`t remember from where the image came,-sorry.  It is printed on fabric--on both cussions-I used old laces and sari silk ribbons.


How are you doing all  ?
Here it has almost turned into autumn- and today we had a very beautiful day.
I hope you , also experiences happy hours, today .
Wishes you all the best.
Hugs and love
Dorthe

P.S. I`m linking to Junes  Fun Friday  go have a look.

TATTERED ANGEL - AND LISA`S FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY PRESENT


My sweet tattered angel  (already sold in my shop)--
to a sweet lady, living in Jylland-whom own 2 other dolls already.
-----thankyou!

As you can see she is looking out for new adventures,- I`m sure she will be happy in her new home :)

******
Can you understand, I was so very exited when a big package from my dear Lisa  Tarnished and Tattered had arrived,while I was in the wedding of my niece!!!
Lisa told me some time ago it was on it`s way, and there it was welcoming me home--
This was her so special, and very beautiful gift to me- isen`t it wonderful?
The most gorgeus nature collage, -the fern covered with wax, and also the other leaves-and the GREAT  iron handle filled with dried pieces from Lisa`s nature, --I felt so overwhelmed- both from the beautiful art- and that Lisa picked those elements in her part of the world,- and send them to me in Denmark, as a most special part of her collage -for my birthday.They all survived the travel-

I hope you when clicking the photoes ,can see this wonderful art piece ,it is truly amazing, -I love the sweet girl in the old photo,the old pin- and the wooden handle on top -
Lisa ,you are fantastic- -- I love it , dear.

A card from one end of the world, to the other- showing time differences -
it is wonderful,-can you see the one watch is a real  one-and sewed to the card.

Also I was gifted with this bunch of beautiful nature fabric`s- some of which Lisa colored herself, in soft green tones- they are beautiful.

Do you remember Lisa not long ago, had a little tutorial about using those tissues for printing -leaving you with great transparent sheets, to use in your art--WOOHOOO this dear friend also send me a package of that, and I can`t wait to try them :)

And see behind in this picture- a big cardstock filled with many different laces- the beautiful little handmade carpet,  and a wonderful old book cover.
The sweet card  contains an :M----M for Mathilde...

Lisa`s dear sweet girl Lily wanted to add this funny and darling doll, for Mathilde- as she have one herself-
isen`t that the sweetest ? Mathilde will just love her, I know. THANKYOU DEAR LILY.

And WOW- Lisa also send this amazing book to me- filled with beautiful nature art and inspiration-it is
a very beautiful book

here is just one page to show you-----fantastic root -dolls --and the book shows amazing nature art pieces.
Thankyou, dearest Lisa, you spoiled me, and made me very happy--your wonderful collage will hang in my new "office"  for me to treasure together with other loved things you made.
-I will show photoes from there, when it is finished.

And here  Mathilde---she told me some time ago ,why I had not given her a heart !
so last week I sewed this and send it of to her- it is napkins on fabric- and a photo of the dearest girl I know.


Hope you are all having a happy week- with beautiful hours spend with family and friends.
Thankyou so much for lovely comments, and visits, and welcome to all new followers, I am so happy you are ther, sharing a part of my life with me.
Hugs, and love-

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.

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.
