Just a Few Christmas Projects

Christmas will be here before you know.

and I´ve been working on a few Christmas Projects

still using the lace stash

big surprice - lol

I made up a few cones

decorated with old paper too

and sweet images

and while sorting in the studio I found these twig swings

I bough some years ago. They have just been laying there

for a project to turn up.

And here they are with paper dolls made from a vintage photo

and a little bit a lace.

I think they turned out quite cute.

another cone

with doll and a little bit of bling.

This is the latest creation.

A bell shaped cardboard ornament

(the half of it actually)

Decorated inside with bits and pieces of vintage

lace, cheeseclothes and a doily.

and with a sweet image on top of the lace,

some vintage buttons

and a piece of junk a beatiful rusty

broken jewelry.

The 'bell' decoration is hanging in a piece of old lace.

You just can´t be to early with those

Christmas Decorations

can you....

Wishing you all a wonderful day

Vintage Fabric and a Little Sneak Peek

I was so lucky to get hold

of some vintage furniture fabric when I was

in London last September.

some of it really worn and distressed

and in awesome colors too

thought they would fit perfect

for my little bears

so I have been working with those these

last monthsw while preparing for the upcoming

online shows.

Here´s a little sneak peek

of those little vintage looking ones

First Online show will be next weekend

The Magical World of Teddy bears

November 6th and

November 7th

Sneak peeks from participating artists

have been posted to the side

New finds and a few creations

This last week have gone so very fast.

We have had family visit during the weekend to

celebrate hubby and sons birthdays.

We had such a great time with them all.

This is my lastest finds

from the big indoor flea market

Remember I told you about it..

some awesome crochet pieces and

a sweet little silver tray

I also found this old and worn photo album

kind of rare over here

but this time I was lucky

and it was for a fair price too

filled with beautiful photo frames

and wonderful old cabinet cards

on my shelf

Time is running fast

and before we know it

Christmas will be around

I have created a few pieces for the upcoming holiday

layers of lace and fabric

and a little bit of red too

This one have a sweet hanger

This one is a little bit smaller

using an old rusty key

and a little twig

The Christmas pieces will go in my shop

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

A little bear note:

online shows are finished.

They only need their photoshooting

A Teeny Little Halloween in my Home

Thought I would show you

my attemp to decorated a teeny little bit for Halloween

in my home.

It´s hard to find Halloween decoration stuff over here

so my collection is really small so far.

I did manage to find a few white pumpkins this year

So this is how it looks like when you enter through my door.

We have a very small hallway so there´s only  room for a

small sideboard.

further on - in the next little 'hall' I have an old

chest of drawers inherited from our great grandmother

I have put my large cloches on that one with

a wonderful fabric pumpkin underneath.

It would have looked so much nicer if the chest of drawers

had been painted white - think I might concider that

This is my diningroom table.

A few more of the white pumpkins

and a little spooky decoration in my recent cloch.

This isn´t really a Halloween thingy is it? - just though I would add something black in this one.

told you.... I don´t have that much decoration yet :-)

It looks really pretty on an old brass table also inherited.

My work table in my studio.

We found an old wooden box used for dried raisins

at my MILs, and I though it would look pretty on my table

to display different stuff. 

now displaying one of my own creations.

I´m still hunting

and hope to add more to my collection for next year.

 Thank you so much for visiting today

and wishing all of you, my wonderful blogging friends

a wonderful day

Beautiful Fall Weather and a Few Creations for Christmas

We have the most wonderful fall weather these days

Kind of Indian summer with lots of sun.

So Sunday we decided to drive up to the north coast for a walk.

It´s only half an hours drive from where I live.

we walked out through the forrest

and back along the beach

a delightful trip that was.

***

Now for something else.

One of the girls in my Cottage Style Etsy group wanted to have a black and white Christmas this year

and we had a little tlak about what could be used and what could be created

and that definately got my head spinning.

and when seing Karlas wondeful Frozen Charlotte Fairy Creation

in the new Somerset Life

that´s was got me into playing with my peatpots again

so here goes:

peatpots painted black

a little lace edging sewn on

and decorated with cheeseclothes,

muslin and sweet vintage images

these little black and white tag decorations

are created from those little photos I got

in the swap with Heidi

I´ve scanned them because I didn´t wanted to use the original ones

and because I didn´t like them to be glossy.

Same photo on both sides and

cheeseclothes sewn in between.

pretty little decorations

for a Black and White Christmas

Thank you so much for peeking in today

Wishing you all a wonderful day

Petite Box Swap

Everyone in my group have received their

Petite Boxes - Black and White editions

so now I can reveal the photos

this is how my boxes for my swap partners looks like on the outside

Old book pages, a vintage doily, black ribbon with vintage button

and a sweet image sewn on

here´s what was inside.

We don´t have to correct size matchboxes in Denmark

so I glued two together instead and 

created some with two drawers.

and

here´s what I received

this is the box from Heidi

so beautiful decorated with ledger paper

a wonderful white flower and an old tip for a fountain pen

and here´s a peak of what was inside

the box was decorated on the inside too - how cute is that

wonderful black and white goodies from Heidi

I especialy love those tiny black and white photos - such a great idea

and

this was in the package from Lorraine

all of this was extras - awesome halloween goodies

Can´t wait to create with this

and this is the beautiful box Lorraine created for me

I love the Halloween theme and that sweet little girl with fairy wings

Inside the box there were sweet silver stars, a little bling with rhinestones

and the sweeterst little white bird.

Thank you so much

Heidi and Lorraine

for creating these beautiful boxes for me.

Wishing you all a wonderful day
