A Few Castles and Churches

I´ll like to show you a few photos of how it looks

like where I live.

Half an hours car drive east from where I live

is Copenhagen the Capital

Amalienborg Castle

this is where our Majesty the Queen and her family lives.

There are 4 buildings like this surrounding 

the square and if you look close you can

see a little red sort of tower like thing

standing on the right side of the gate in the back.

These are sentry boxes still in use.

The Royal Danish Life Guards are wachting.

Marble Church

Standing on the square

you can see the big Marble Church

also called Frederiks Church.

The church is open for the public and there a staircase

to the dome with the most beautiful overlook of Copenhagen

Nyhavn

As we didn´t manage to travel to Amsterdam this time

we took a trip to our own canal - Nyhavn - also

situated in Copenhagen.

These are restored really old building

and it´s alway such a nice walk along the canal.

If you drive half an hour up north from where I live

you can visit this castle

Frederiksborg Castle

This castle was used for hunt and home for the king

in the old days.

It´s now open for the public and housesT 

the National History Museum.

the great hall

Inside you can see the great Hall.

Imagine the beautiful balls held here.

Frederiksborg Castle Church

Inside the Castle is also the

Castle Church.

This Church is still in used and very popular

among the young people for their confirmation.

The beautiful Chuch Organ.

This is just the few places we were visiting during our vacation this time.

If there´s any of you out there interested in History,

then come on over to see even more

("wink" "wink" Ruth)

I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Wishing you all a lovely day.

May Basket Swap

I promised to show you photos from my swap with Heidi.

We were set up as partners in the May Basket Swap over at Artsy Mama.

Here´s what I made for Heidi

we decided to put our goodies in a tote instead of a basket

to make it easier to ship - this is the tote I made for Heidi

this is what I chose to put inside

the text on the ribbon means 'Merry Christmas' in Danish

and this is what I received

a beautiful pink tote with a vintage doily on top

filled with lots of goodies

so beautifully wrapped.

a little foil bag with vintage thread, lace and wooden spools

and a  beautiful little canvas with a T, that Heidi created for me.

more lace, pearl, a sweet vintage felt flower in a little vase

a tiny box filled with vintage buttons

and decorated with tiny keys and a beautiful medaillion

and look at those tiny letter 'pins' in the match box.

lots of vintage emphemera

and a sweet cabinet card

old cards

and this beautiful collar.

How about that...

I just love everything Heidi sent me.

Thank you so much Heidi
oh - and Heidi is thinking of hosting a "Tin full of Treasure" swap

so if you would like to join, make sure to pop over for a visit.

Another Sneak Peek

Remember I told you about the exciting swaps coming up?

I have received my May Basket 'Tote' from Heidi

and it´s so wonderful - you just have to wait a bit more for the photos though.

I want Heidi to receive the one from me first - and it´s almost on her doorstep.

Today I mailed out my Tussie Mussie

from the swap over at

'a swap for all seasons'

and here´s little sneak peek of the Tussie Mussie

I have made for my swap partner Stefanie

It have been so much fun finding out what to
put inside - I really hope she likes it.

Still working on my website - lol

Victorian Style

Wanted to show you what I have been working on lately

with fabric and pretty ribbon

I call them my Victorian Pincushions

I wanted to put together colors

that I don´t normally do

and create some untraditionel pins too.

This one is made of old upholstery fabric with a vintage button on top

and here´s one made out of papier mache, painted cobber

and decorated with old lace and a green twine.

blue paisley on top

pale pink at the button and

a sweet green pon-pon ribbon

I think they came out quite cute

I did have a lot of fun making them.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend

Take care

Tina

May Basket Swap Sneak Peek

I´m having some great swaps coming up this month

First one is The May Basket Swap over at

Artsy mama

Here´s a little sneak peek of the goodies for my partner Heidi

This is my first Basket Swap - in fact it´s a tote swap

as my partner and I decided to put our goodies in a tote instead

to make it easier to ship.

I have had soooo much fun with this

and I just hope Heidi will like what I have found for her.

I´ll show you more photos later.

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

I´m also working on a new look on my website these day.

and I mean really working.....

Just have to tell you, my new computer and I

are NOT good friends yet

sign...

I wanted to expand my website to include more of my creations than just the bears

and I have lots of ideas for the look, new creations and new graphic too

and no matter how I do, and what I do

I just get the most strange look in my webdesign program.

Everytime I create a page it just looks really weird.

The background won´t fit the screen size

and it all looks totally different when I upload

oh well

still working

and I WILL have a grand opening

when I managed to get a decent look.

Wishing you all a lovely day

Tina

Happy Easter

Take care
