A little Bear and a little Clean Up

2012-01-27T17:24:00.001+01:00

I decided I needed a little clean up

over here at the blog.

Kind of spring clean while we wait for spring.

allthough Winter arrived over here this week, with a bit of

snow and some cold and bright days.

I made a new background

and if you look at the pop of the page, there

more pages added.

I wanted a two column layout for a more

peaceful and clean look.

I hope it looks that way to you too.

What do you think?

*****

Here´s another little bear

he´s so cute

only 3.5 inch

and with teeny tiny knitted trousers

and a little rusty bell

I called him Elliot

Here he is, standing while I

hold him in his little paw.

He´s now in my

'for Hugglets' box

****

A few new bears will be available

on my website this weekend.
(edited 28/1: new bears have just been uploaded
on the website)

If you would like to receive notice

Wishing you all a wonderful and not too cold weekend.

My Old Suitcase

2012-01-22T15:55:00.000+01:00

I want to start this post by thanking all of you

who commented on my little blue bear.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments.

I haven´t been able to get back to you to thank you personally

I´m having SO much trouble with my internet connection

these last two weeks - on and off all the time - mostly off....

They´re going to look into it tomorrow, so cross my fingers

anyway

during last summers junk hunting

I finally came across an old suitcase

not easy to find over here, and when I do

they´re quite expensive, so I was so lucky to get this

one for a very decent price.

it´s an old one

and it also smelled like one - urrgghh :o)

it´s taking me some time to find out how to rit of that old smell

but after experimenting with some radol

and some methylated spirit

I think it have worked

so now my old suitcase

containes my mohair stock for the bears

here´s a peek of some pretty colors

for some upcoming little ones

I´m still working on the bears for Hugglets

making decent progress

and have planned a little update with a few new bears

on my website end January.

More about the bears later.

Wishing you all a wonderful sunday

Tina ♥♥♥

Do you have trouble commenting on blogger?

2012-01-19T18:20:00.000+01:00

Hi All

Though I would pop in and make a little

post about blogger and comments.

Recently I have experiented some trouble commenting on

some of the blogs I follow, and I can see posts in blogland

that others have the same problem.

So if you have experiented this too or if you have received emails

about people can´t leave a comment on your blog

all I can say is

this is a know problem at Blogger

the only thing we don´t know is

when will they fix it

here goes:

if you have your comment settings set to be embedded

in your posts, people using IE or Firefox

will have some trouble leaving comments on the post.

Safari works fine though.

To solve this, the only thing you have to do,

is to set your comment settings as a pop up box

that should do the trick.

Hope you finds this helpful

and

no post without a photo

here´s a sunflower

while we wait for spring.

Have a wonderful day

Tina ♥♥♥

A Little Blue Bear

2012-01-14T13:45:00.001+01:00

Hi All

and happy saturday

Remember the little blue bear in the last post...

I´ve finished him

and his name is Little Joe

Thought I would show you how he turned out

so here he is...

I gave him a little singlet

to wear and a tiny rusty bell

He´s a little bit smaller than normal

just 3.5 inch

Here he is in my hand

to give you an idea of his size.

It´s a beautiful sunny day here today.

Hope to find time for a walk too.

Now back to bear making :o)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend

Tina ♥♥♥

Studio Arrangements

2012-01-09T14:39:00.000+01:00

I´ve been working on some arrangements

in the studio in between the bearmaking this weekend.

I was so very lucky to get hold of a new desk for the computer.

Nothing fancy at all - it´s larger than the old one and

it´s white.... :o)

This is an old photo from my studio

It´ll give you an idea

you can just see a snip of the old desk in this photo

and I´ve wanted to get rid of that ugly old rack next to the white shelves too

and as this new desk was bigger - the old ugly one was replaced

with a new smaller macthing white one.

which ended up giving me some more wall space to fill

this is how it looked like when the shelves and desk was in place.

Quite bare right...

and this is the new studio look

an old plate rack I´ve had for quite some while

came up on the left.

I´ve only added a few things so far.

underneath I´ve added some tiny hooks

and a wire to hang little pretty stuff.

I also made some frame creations

from old golden frames

to hang on the wall above the computer

one with a vintage dolls dress

and one for the very pretty pocket

sweet Ann made for me some years ago.

Quite happy with my little corner.

and

on my work table at the moment

this sweet little pale blue fellow.

*******

Thank you SO much to those of you

who took the time to comment on my last post

and shared your opinion with me.

Haven´t quite decided whether to do a

schedule on the bear updates or not

- will definately let you know when I decided :o)

Wishing you all a wonderful day

All about the Bears

2012-01-06T13:09:00.000+01:00

Hello Sweet Friends

and Happy Friday

First of all, I want to thank you all

for the wonderful Birthday wishes I have received.

I´m so sorry I haven´t had the time to visit you all.

Wish the days had more hours.

This first month of the new years

is going to be all about the bears.

The sickness during Christmas really got me.

I´ve had a hard time getting on top of things

and have been feeling really tired.

So I haven´t really gotten back at things

in the Tinybear Studio.

The Hugglets Fair in London is sneaking up on me

and there´s only 7 weeks left. So far I have only one bear ready

this sweet little 3.5 inch girly bear Hazel

(If you see this Beth - this is what I was going to use your coin purses for)

I´ll need about 25 bears to fill my table

which means 24 more to go

and 6 week to do it, as the last week before have to be

sat aside for preparing the table setup and paperwork.

Simple calculation says that´ll be 4 bears pr. week from now

so you´ll see - it´s going to be all about the bears :-)

If you don´t read my blog for the bears sake

I promise there will be other stuff too - lol.

About the bears

Some thoughts have been rummaged in

my head for some time now

and this is where you come in

my dear readers

So far I have been updating my website with new bears

when I have had enough - say 3-5 bears between shows.

I´ve been wanting to do this on a more regular basis

but haven´t decided how offen

or if it would do any differents.

so my question is:

Should I have a sceduled website update say ones a month

or every second month on certain dates?

Should I have a few website updates a year, like a personal webshow?

Should I just update when I have enough bears as I have done so far?

Does it do any differens?

I would love to hear your thought on this matter.

If you don´t feel like posting on here

feel free to email me - my emails are in my profile.

What would you prefer if you were a collector?

Wishing you all a beautiful day

Tina ♥♥♥

On My Birthday

2012-01-01T11:13:00.001+01:00

Happy New Year everyone

I hope you all had a lovely evening

This is the first day in a new year

no party for me today though

that´ll have to wait a few months.

Time to reflect

Time to make new plans

For me the word for this year is

Balance

I need to have more balance in my life

Balance between real work and creative work

Balance between work and free time

Balance between computer time and creative time

Balance between work time and family time

Need to balance time

I wish for you all

that this year will be a great and beautiful year

I wish you all a very beautiful day

on this

My Big Day

sign...

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend

you all had a wonderful time with friends and family.

These last weeks have been quite busy over here

Due to the economics it was a quiet but cosy craft show.

This is my only show in Denmark and

will probably also be next year.

Now - back to the title of the post...

Some time ago my sweet friend Lisa and I

arranged a fall swap and my parcel arrived yesterday

and here´s what was inside

beautiful old photo frames, brown paper bags

and wonderful tissue paper

a beautiful white table tunner, a full role of vintage lace

vintage buttons, a teeny tiny watch, a gemstone,

and two awesome buckles.

I know exactly what I´m going to use these for.

a bunch of metal pieces

and some very cool vintage film spools

more lace and beautiful cabinet cards

and then there were this....

THE most beautiful altered bottle.

I have never seen anything as pretty as this.

I LOVE Lisa´s bottles and are so happy to be

the proud owner of this amazing one

here´s a closeup on the beautiful details.

as usual I forgot to take photos of my parcel

so you´ll have to pop over here to see

what I made for Lisa.

Creating with my Vintage Finds 2

2011-11-22T07:55:00.001+01:00

Those of you who have been visiting

over here before, have seen these among the

summers flea market finds

old worn fabric coffee filters.

I love the colors on these and thought they would

be great to create with

and so I did

with some of my vintage lace

added to the edges

some vintage jewelry pieces

with rhinestones

and some more lace

Cheesecloth with sweet images

of vintage children

still love to create with

those fabric images.

Aren´t they just cute....

This coffee filter is really special

I´ve decorated all 4 parts on this one.

Here they are all together

cute little baskets

or cones

all ready to decorate with.

Add a little greenery and they are all

ready for Christmas

I´ve added some vintage paper stribes inside this

with some old paper, some velvet leaves, a pod

and a sweet little christmas tree.

This one may be for me ;o)

Not sure I can part with this one.

Thank you so much for

visiting today sweet friends.

Wishing you all a beautiful day

Creating with my Vintage Finds

2011-11-10T12:10:00.001+01:00

I´ve finally started creating with

my finds from the summers flea markets.

Remember these two?

A vintage grater and a strainer.

I´ve made them into sweet little christmas decorations

the strainer got a sweet little vintage girl inside

with a twig, moss and a little bit of cheesecloth

I´ve added some chandelier prismes

at the button - also found at the flea

and with a piece of vintage lace added as hanger

it turned out like this.

The grater is altered like a little cone.

Inside is a sweet little crochet doily,

a vintage wooden spool, some velvet leaves

and a vintage candle holder

used on the christmas tree in 'the old days'

decorated with vintage lace pieces

and a sweet vintage fabric image

this is how it looks like afterwards

Not too early for christmas, right ;o)

Wishing you all a beautiful

and creative day

Fall and Finds

2011-10-29T13:29:00.001+02:00

Fall have certainly arrived over here.

Not Fall as in blue skies and bright sunny

but Fall as in rain, storm and fog.

Last weekend was beautiful though

and we decided to go out for a trip

and enjoy the wonderful weather

This is Fredensborg Castle

One of the Royal familys residenses.

It´s so beautiful with the copper roof.

It´s only about 20 minutes drive from where I live

and we enjoy going there occasionally

there´s free entrance to the park behind the castle.

So beautiful and relaxing.

On the way back we stumbled upon

a little sign for a flea market.

Well hided in an industrial area

so ofcourse we had to peek inside.

I managed to find a few scores for almost nothing.

A well worn silver tray

an old grater and a torn old german dictionary

and this....

a beautiful green french bottle

at least I think it´s a real french bottle

looking at the cork.

I think it´s beautiful anyway

Today was the lokal football clubs anual garagesale

Or I thought it was, only to find out that the club only served

coffee and cake, and had hired out the hall to different

dealers to set up booths.

Anyway

I found a few goodies today too

two vintage white table clothes

a bag filled with vintage wooden spools

a pair of vintage leather gloves

and a bunch of doilies

and some very cool french chocolate molds

all ready to alter.

It´s very foggy here today

but fortunately not cold.

I´m off for a walk - doctors order :o)

How is the fall weather at your place?

Wishing you all a beautiful day

The Stitching Project

2011-10-26T16:35:00.000+02:00

Remember the Stitching project

I made some time ago?

I had a christmas project in mind

and here´s what it turned put to be

my humble stitched words

together with layers of vintage lace

and some vintage white buttons

it all ended up as pretty Christmas Stockings

Wouldn´t they be perfect on a mantle, or a door for christmas

with a few branches inside or maybe a little gift.

Linking up with

White Wednesday over at

Faded Charm

I also want to say a big Thank You to all

my new followers - I´m so happy to see you here.

I see I´m heading fast towards a

700 followers giveaway

Wishing you all a wonderful day

Hearts

2011-10-18T13:17:00.001+02:00

Hello Sweet Friends

and thank you so much for all

your get well wishes.

I´m sorry I haven´t been able to reply to you all

individually this time - hope that is okay.

I´ve started the threatment at the Physio

and I have to say it´s a tough one - urgghh

Apparently there´s a lot of myalgia

so this is going to take a long time, but I´m confident

it´s be good in the end.

Enough of that

I have been able to slowly start working in the studio again

and since I had to skip some of my plans on my to-do list

I went straight ahead towards Christmas

and have been making sweet little hearts

These are made from one of the vintage table cloths

I have found at the Flea this summer.

with a little piece of tea dyed muslin stamped

with a whreath stamp and some silver glitter

on the front, I though they would make a sweet

little decoration for Christmas

A few have been listed in the shop

Never too early for Christmas right....

It´ll be here before we know ;o)

*********************************'

I´m currently working on bears for the

This is going to be a fantastic online show.

I can´t show you any of the bears yet, but I promise

they´ll be something very speciel.

Make sure to pop over and get the details.

I´ll post more about this later.

Thank you so much for visiting today

A Health Warning and Work in Progress

2011-10-08T16:45:00.000+02:00

So Fall have arrived over here.

With cooler temperatures and the most

beautiful view to the forrest with all the different colors.

and then I went down with a massive headache.

This one is a tough one

not the old migraene but something different

so I had to make a doctors apointment

and the answer was: stress related and a blood pressure

way out of control - urghh - and so the cure is

more medicine, physiotherapy and exercise.

I haven´t been able to keep up with things

and to work much in the studio.

It´s better today though and I wanted to show you

some work in progress

I´m working on a private swap

for a wonderful and talented blogging friend

here´s a few sneak peeks

of what will be send of end of October

Can´t show you more at this time

as that would ruin the surprice

for my sweet friend L.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend

and make sure to enjoy life

and take care of yourself.

Todays Finds

2011-10-02T14:07:00.000+02:00

Hello my sweet friends

A little update on this beautiful sunday.

We´re having a wonderful indian summer

and yesterday was the varmest day ever on an October 1th

Sunny and about 77 degress

I haven´t been able to spend much time in

the studio since our vacation -even grown up

kids needs a lending hand from time to time.

The 'to-do' list is growing and I´m a wee bit behind.

The Flea market season is almost over

and today was my last change to hit one.

Most of the booths were with clothes and shoes

today, but I did find a few with some cool old stuff

and here´s todays finds

pretty creamy velvet ribbon

one with a wonderful edge

a few vintage handlerchiefs

and some lace and crochet pieces

a wonderful vintage photoalbum.

These are really rare over here, so lucky me.

Filled with wonderful old photos too.

Great score I think

and

a pair of pretty little black girls shoes.

Thought they would be perfect for display

or maybe with a little bear inside.

Thanks for popping in today

and wishing you all a wonderful day.

ready for the show to start.

I had such a great time.

Thank you so much to all of you who came to visit

Almost all the bears found new homes.

Only a teeny little bunch came home with me.

They are now listed on my website.

After a few days in london

we were heading for Oxford for the rest of the week.

This was our first visit to this beautiful town

and we so enjoyed the stay.

Bears in a Box ready to travel

2011-09-09T15:06:00.000+02:00

Hi All

Sorry for my absence lately.

It´s been some busy days over here.

Just need to do the last packing now.

Tablecloth

and wine boxes to use for the display.

Don´t worry - they will be covered with more tablecloth.

I need to have some levels on the table

for the bears to be seen

Lace and doilies and old cigar boxes

for the display too

All set to go

I will be leaving early in the morning heading for London

and the show on Sunday - can´t wait.

23 little ones hoping to find a new home.

After a few days in London we will be spending

some days in Oxford too, for

a little but much needed vacation.

Relaxing with some great food and wine, and if I´m lucky

an antique and Craft market too.

I´ll be out of the studio until September 18th.

Hoping to catch up with you all when I return.

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend.

Little Lace Books

2011-09-01T15:47:00.001+02:00

Little Lace Books

that´s what I have been working on lately.

I really enjoy using little snippets

and pieces and leftovers for these

this is the layers in two books

not two 'pages' are alike

Here´s a little peek at one of the pages.

The covers are made from vintage quilt pieces.

Some very worn ones I came across some time ago.

Love the faded colors and just knew they would

be perfect for this project.

some more details on the pages.

a sweet little pocket with a teeny tiny bird tag

another with a sweet vintage image

cute velvet flowers

and vintage buttons

You can see the quilt cover on this one

tied with a silk ribbon with an old

rusty belt bucket

Just a little more than a week to go

before I leave for London and The Hugglets Fair.

There´s still things to do

but I think I´m on schedule.

Thanks for visiting today

and wishing you all a very beautiful day

this first day of autumn.

A few new creations

2011-08-23T14:55:00.001+02:00

Things have started to settle down about the

bears for now so I have been working on a

few little pouches for the shop.

They are so much fun to make

and also a great way to use some

of the good stuff

made from a vintage table clothes I found

some time ago at the flea

I have decorated them with layers

of vintage lace and a piece of beautiful striped

french fabric in faded green and cream

still love to use fabric images.

These are some awesome old photos

I thought were just perfect for this project.

a little bit of cheesecloth

and some vintage buttons too

Great for a gift

or storage

Some Saturday Finds

2011-08-14T14:18:00.001+02:00

Hello everyone

and happy sunday

We finally got our car back from the garage.

It broke and we have been without car for 14 days - ughh.

You do get quite dependent....

With the car back I got a change to visit

my favorite flea again.

There weren´t many booths this time

but I did manage to find a few things

an awesome old frame with a cute illustration

a couple of old boxes.

One with purple silk fabric inside and a pair of brooken glasses

One with creamy silk fabric and some vintage silver spoons

Little baby dresses

and some collars, handkerchiefs and a bit of linen

here´s a close up of the spoon box.

It´s a bit worn and well used, but I love the silk

fabric and the way the button is made with the rack

Also a big welcome to

all my new followers.

I´m so glad you stopped by.

Wishing you all

a beautiful sunday sweet friends

A Beautiful Package

2011-08-05T18:19:00.001+02:00

Hello all

and happy friday

I wanted to show you

a beautiful package that arrived in the studio

the other day.

Some time ago I was so lucky to win

a giveaway from my friend Gail over at

Little Beach Design

Gail had wrapped it so pretty

with handstamped ribbon, lace

and millenery berries

Here´s a close up of the berries.

I have never seen any like this over here,

I so happy to add these to my little collection.

Inside the wrapping was this

beautiful collage.

I so love it.

It´s so pretty and simple at the same time.

In the middle is a beautiful poem all surrounded by

an old photo frame and some sweet vintage flowers.

Love the colors and it fits perfect in my studio.

I have found the perfect spot for it.

Gail also included a sweet little linen pouch

all filled with vintage lace.

Do you think she knows me?

Thank you SO much Gail.

I will treasure it always.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.

I first read about this over at

my long time blogging friend Alisa

She had made this beautiful journal

from a vintage celluloid photoalbum.

and when I saw it, I so wanted to make one too.

Knowing that I didn´t really had the time by now

I put it aside in my head for something I had to put on my

'to do list'

and then I went back to have a look again and again...

It keept coming back to me - the thoughts about

making a journal totally different from what I

normally work with.

This is all about paper and with lots of colors too

so I started to read about the workshop over at Mary Anns

still knowing I didn´t had the time

I could start on gathering suppliers, couldn´t I

that wouldn´t harm - and so I did.

It´s not easy to get the real good stuff over her, so I had to

order online.

The vintage celluloid albums was out of my reach.

I could find some at reasonable prices online

but the shipping costs were even more than the album price

so that was out of the question - and mind you, I wasn´t going to make one

I didn´t had the time.....

and you have probably guess it by now

I signed up for the workshop - ofcourse I did

I HAD to

so I found some awesome bookcovers in my studio

to use for the album

and have finished my first journal

Haven´t worked on any of the pages yet.

That´ll have to wait until later,

but I really enjoyed the process.

Here´s a close up of some of the pages

just prepared a bit - ready to work on

using all kinds of different papers

for the pages and different sizes too

and here´s how my journal looks like

on the front cover

I´m so glad I did this

Thank you Alisa

wanna make one too?

This is how it looks like through the door.

I have to tell you , this is a VERY little studio.

About 6 x 13 feet - that´s all

My work table is in front of the window

with lots of light

On the left side of my work table

is the only free wall space I have

so this is my inspiration wall.

Filled with beautiful creations from special friends

and some of my own creations waiting

to travel out in the world.

On the right side of my worktable

is my cabinet

holding finished creations

and my little collection of Collectible Bears.

Old books

coin purses

and cupcake molds on my table

Heres´a look at the other end of my studio.

I have to use all the storage space I can get

to have room for everything.

Lets have a closer look

at some of the shelves.

Old cigar and tin boxes.

Ready to be altered

Old books to use in my creations

Here´s a little collection of what I love

A few bears from my collction

Old cabinet cards

Vintage molds and lace

Vintage music sheets

Burlap, twine

Glass jars with pretty stuff.

Here were a few more shelves with

linen and lace.

I´m working on bears right now

Hello Sweet Friends

I´m still very busy with the bears

at the flea market a few weeks ago

a bunch of beautiful old linen napkins with embroidered monogram

lace and doilies, an old toast rack and the most

awesome vintage french chocolate molds

and this

a well worn old photo album

I got it for almost nothing.

The lady selling this had a booth with used brand cloths

shoes and bags, and a little table with glass and transferware

and among that I spotted this.

I´m sure she had no idea what it was worth

here´s a look inside

all filled with cabinet cards

Got some great stuff today too

Finds from a rainy day

2011-06-28T08:31:00.001+02:00

Hello Sweet Friends

Remember I promised to show you

the finds I got at that rainy junk hunting day with our friends.

So here goes...

two glass flower frogs - how cool are they.

Isn´t it funny how things I have never seen before over here

are started to show up.

Wooden ends from a curtain rail.

Silver milk and sugar bowls.

lace, silver spoons, tiny bells and an old book.

Here´s a close up of the lace piece and

the silver spoons. See that spoon with the holes...

I have no idea what it has been used for -

does any one know?

These tiny bells are for the bears

a pale pink lampshade

and these awesome little ones.

Aren´t they funny.

I have planned to remove the fabric and turn them

into little hangers for display of tiny stuff

More lace.

I just can´t resist when I see some.

A tarnished silver tray

(already turned into this)

and a sweet little photobook to alter

and then these...

How cool are they...

It wasn´t even me who saw them.

Our male friend was wandering around looking for stuff for me

as he think it´s kind of cool and by accindent

found these old worn coffee filters and brought them to me.

I LOVE them.

Can´t wait to create with these.

I went hunting last sunday too :o)

More finds to show you - yeaahhh.

Wishing you all a wonderful day

One Little Creation

2011-06-24T17:17:00.002+02:00

that´s all I have accomplished

the last two weeks.

well - that´s not completely true

I have been working really hard actually.

I´m so out of time and so far behind schedule.

Could I just wish for more hours in a day.

Currently I´m working hard to complete a huge shop order.

I can´t tell or show you anything before a few more month.

And I just realized that september will be here before we know

so I have to start working on the bears for the Hugglets Show in London.

I did had plans with Christmas in July on Etsy, but

I´m too late this year and to start create with my newly found

flea market goodies - so many ideas are floating in my head...

back to my finished creation

last weekend we spend time with friends

in their summer cottage

relaxing and junking

I did have some creative time too

so I made a sweet little altered book

a perfect project for some time out of the studio.

I had brought a little basket with bits and pieces

and suppliers, just a case..

here´s a little closeup of the pages

using papers, lace pieces

sweet images, vintage buttons

a vintage doily on the front and some cheesecloth

The junking

oh - that was great.

We had planned to visit the big outdoor market

(my favorite one) but the rain was pouring

so there weren´t many booth, but our friends knew

a few indoor ones, so we spend saturday hunting.

I can´t wait to show you what I found

Just you wait and see :o)

Also wanted to say a big welcome to my new followers.

I know I promised a 600th followers giveaway

and I haven´t forgotten, just haven´t had the time to get around it

Will you bear with me for a little more time?

Wishing you all a wonderful day

(ps: the book will be in the shop later)

White Finds

2011-06-15T17:11:00.001+02:00

Hi All

The flea market season is upon us

and I SO love it

It´s also White Wednesday

so this gives me the chance to share

my resent finds with you

you´re so gonna love this...

this is a bunch of crochet pieces and lace

I found in the button of a trailer

actually hubby saw it first and asked the man

how much this was, as it WAS a bit dirty he said (my hubby)

well - you can have it all for....

2 $

this bunch wasn´t that cheap

but still a great buy

and I so love it all

Found a tiny flat box - well worn

and it turned out it was filled with vintage hankies.

what´s it gonna be, what´s it gonna be

a pretty garland maybe

or sweet little bears dresses

Haven´t decided yet

a hole lot of vintage cake molds.

I see some pretty ornaments coming up here.

some awesome old damask table clothes.

Thought they would be great to turn into napkins, or

trivets or little bags or....

What do you think?

Any ideas?

and this

THE find

a bunch of vintage dolls dresses - yeaahh

How pretty are those.

I have never seen any before over here

and have so wanted to find some

and there they were.

I did have a lady next to me watching closely as I took them ALL up

She asked for a price and you know what..

The sweet lady in the booth said she wanted to see

if I was going to have them and therefore she had to wait

and I just crammed them in my hands until she lost interest and walked away

and I got them all for almost nothing

How lucky can you be.

Can´t wait to go

Making Pretty Garlands

2011-06-12T11:54:00.000+02:00

Hello All

I hope you all are enjoying the sunday.

We have a beautiful sunny day here today.

You have probably seen all these beautiful

garlands made of vintage doilies around in blogland

so when I got my hands on a bunch of doilies

at my latest flea market I decided to make

my own version of a doily garland

I decoated the doilies with cheesecloth

and a sweet image printed on muslin

Think they turned out quite pretty

on the left in this photo

there´s one made of little lace pieces

all decorated differently

the doily garland with the pretty images

and here´s a close up of

the lace garland

vintage buttons, religious medaillion,

sweet images, a vintage key

so here they are in my version.

the greatest joy

is to create with those flea market finds

I just love that.

The garlands will be in the shop later today.

What have you been up to lately?

Wishing you all a beautiful sunday

Two Wonderful Swaps

2011-06-08T16:09:00.000+02:00

Some time ago I arranged a friendship

swap with my friend Hope.

We have been partners some time ago in a petite box swap

and wanted to do a one-to-one this time.

Here´s what it looked like when I

opened the parcel from Hope

all wrapped in my favorite paper

Old sewing patterns.

Inside was this beautiful dolls head

a big bunch of cabinets cards - Oh, I love them

a little jar with vintage buttons

and a tiny matchbox decorated with

one of Hope cute little nests.

She also made me this beautiful box

with another nest

and two beautiful glittered birds on top.

here´s what was inside

dominoes, game pieces, a sweet little tin box, pearls

and awesome vintage typewriter keys.

some german dolls (Hope knows I love those)

and a beautiful soldered charm with lace

Thank you SO much sweet Hope.

I love everything you send me.

Looking forward till next time ;o)

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

Remember I told you I also

did a one-to-one swap with my friend Lynn.

We wanted to do a Petite Box Fleamarket Style

in neutrals with a handmade to go with the box.

Here´s the beautiful card Lynn made for me.

Her box was SO beautiful decorated with layers

of lace, doily, fabric and a beautiful flower on top.

Check out the photos Lynn took of the box

before she send it to me.

She´s such a talented photographer also.

Here´s the back..

See what I mean....

filled with wonderful vintage lace and buttons

a sweet thespoon

and an awesome rhinestone piece

This was inside one of the wrapped doilies.

How awesome is that

Thank You SO much Lynn.

I love everything - ofcourse I do

and I can´t wait to create with all this beautiful stuff.

Isn´t friendship swaps just the greatest.

I love doing those

and isn´t the blogging community the most awesome

and generous community of all placed.

I do think so.

Thanks for visiting

Creating with My New Finds

2011-06-06T10:59:00.001+02:00

Remember the old books I found in Sweden

I scanned some of the frontpages

and had fun making little

Bookmark Tags

some Natures Inspired

with stamped Bird and Nest images

and some French Inspired

using a little piece of vintage lace

and muslin with stamped French Themes images.

I think they would be pretty as bookmarks, tags

or in a handmade journal.

I do have plans with the real books though.

Just haven´t had time to get around that.

I´ve also been playing with

one of the old coin purses I found at the same time

The little brown one have got some lace on the front

teadyed seambinding, teadyed lace

an old key

a doily

and a sweet little nest inside

a bit of wire added as hanger

and here´s the finished result.

A sweet little wall hanger decoration.

Will be in the shop later.

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

I´m going to show you

a one to one little petite box swap

I did with my friend Lyn.

She haven´t received her box yet, as the Canadian Postworkers

is having a strike, so I´m going to wait until next post

and hope she gets her soon.

and almost 600 followers I see.

How amazing is that

That means I´m going to start working on a giveaway soon

Peaceful days in Sweden

2011-06-02T17:44:00.000+02:00

Home again

from some very peaceful days in Sweden

we drove up monday morning

miles and miles into the swedish woods

in the middle of nowhere

and this was the sight that meet us

when we arrived to our rented house.

See those two car tracks...

that was the way to the house

through the cow field

Our sweet little red house

for the next 3 days

This is the back of the house

with the porch

and this is the sight from the porch

isn´t this the most breathtaking view.

This is where I spend my days

while hubby was kayaking and fishing

spending some time reading magazines

some time knitting something speciel

for a speciel one

and a lot of reading

We only left the house to go grocery shopping.

On one of those trips we found

a farm with new and old stuff.

Almost like a kind of flea market

so I did get some goodies with me home

some wonderful old photos

and a few old coin purses

old tart tins

wonderful old lace

a bag with old white crochet yarn

and a bunch of wonderful

worn old books.

Can´t wait to create with this.

Wishing you all a wonderful day

A Purse Collage and a Vacation coming up

2011-05-28T12:18:00.000+02:00

Hi All

Remember the

'ad more colors to the creations'

project...

Here´s another one

where I have tryed to incorporate some colors.

Still not that easy for me...

as always I used one of my vintage book covers as base

and added some layers of fabric, lace

and a beautiful fabric piece in golden and brown tones

some time ago I got my hands

an a little well worn coin purse

and though it was perfect for this collage.

here´s few close ups of the purse

I tugged in a sweet little german doll

along with some tea dyed cheesecloth

and here´s is how it turned out.

With more vintage lace pieces

and sweet vintage buttons

Vacation is coming up - yeaahh

I have the next two weeks off from work

and we have decided to take a little trip

to Sweden leaving this monday.

This is going to be so great.

It´s all about relaxation.

We haven´t planned a thing

just going to see what comes up

(I might be lucky to find a few 'loppis' though)

Fleamarkets you know ;-)

If you don´t 'see´me around the next week

you know why

Thank you so much for popping in today

A Journal Cover

2011-05-18T13:06:00.001+02:00

I have been working on my journal cover

and have finally finished it.

I think it turned out quite pretty

Here´s some details from to front

and the back

I have been working on some tiny burlap bags too

using the same tecnic...

which is

'no plan at all, just use what´s on the table' tecnic..

Here´s one with the word Joy:

Lace, old book page, silk and vintage button

The word 'wish'

embroidered, a tiny bit of lace, more silk

ribbon and a mother of pearl vintage button

Thought they would be great for gifts

so I added a tiny tag/card inside the bag to match

These will go in my shop later.

More to come...

She´s 5 inch and made of a handdyed pale pink sparse mohair.

She´s wearing a sweet bow round her head.

This sweet one is Linux - also 5 inch

I hope you can see their fluffy tummys on the photos.

They are both listed on my website along

I´m working on a new bear design

right now, and since this year is my

10 years of bearmaking anniversary

I thought one of these new bear designs would make

a great giveaway.

More about that later...

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Hi All

I´m back from a wonderful vacation in Amsterdam.

We were so lucky to have the wonderful

spring weather.

Here´s a few word pictures from our trip

when looking through the photos I took after I got back

I realized there wasn´t a lot of city pictures...

I hope it´s give you an idea anyway.

tulips at the flower market

love the bright colors on these.

Also from the flower market.

Amsterdam is a great cyckling city.

How about this bike - pretty huh....

These next photos are from the Vondel Park

A big beautiful park in the middle of the city

see these tiny pink leaves on the ground

and pretty faded hydrangeas

Near the hotel was this wonderful shop

all filled with vintage clothes and stuff from 1958

There were so many wonderful things - quite expensive though

and now you may think - how about the flea market...

oh - that wasn´t a flea market. It was a market with

mostly weird cloth and bags and stuff. I didn´t even get a photo.

That was quite disappointing - so no finds for me this time.

Remeber the journal stuff I took with me..

Here´s the start of a journal cover.

I did get some sewing time too and

are really enjoying the progress on this.

With no plans and just using what I have in hand

the front is finished and I have started on

the back as you can see.

We´ll see where this is heading..

Going to finish some projects

and then start on some new bears.

Have some new ideas I would like

to work on.

Wishing you all a wonderful sunday.

Missed you all

and are glad to be back :o)

A Canvas Collage and A Vacation Coming Up

Happy Easter Everyone

I hope you all have had some

lovely Easter Holidays.

I have had family visiting

and we have had a great time.

Today is packing day

as a long waited vacation is coming up

but first I wanted to show you

one of the creations I made with the

tiny waxed canvas.

The background is an old cover,

vintage book pages, fabric and lace

at the buttom I added a little metal piece

found at a flea marked

and an old rusty key.

Thought those pieces matched the book page

and the fabric perfect.

Here´s a closer look at the canvas.

more lace

and a bit of cheesecloth too.

The fihished piece.

It´s quite fun with those little canvases.

I made a few more ready for new creations.

The vacation....

A long waited vacation is just around the corner.

Actually this is the trip we had planned for April last year

but a vulcanic eruption came across and we had to cancel everything.

Now it´s gonna be

and tomorrow morning I´ll be heading here:

Amsterdam

and we´re also going to see this:

Keukenhof

and much more.

5 days of relaxing, excursion

good food and a little wine too.

There´s even a flea market I have been told

EVERY DAY...

Travel Journal in progress

I´ll be out of the studio from tomorrow

until May 1th.

I´ll take lots of photos to show you

when I´m back.

Wishing you all the most beautiful sunday

sweet friends

Thanks for visiting
