Studio Arrangements

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

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

On My Birthday

Happy New Year everyone

I hope you all had a lovely evening


This is the first day in a new year
and it´s also my Birthday

the big Five. O.

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

Tina ♥♥♥

What´s your word.....

My Swap with Lisa

Hello my sweet friends

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend
and for those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope
you all had a wonderful time with friends and family.

These last weeks have been quite busy over here
and this weekend was this years last show.
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.

********

I´ve reaches 700+ followers
wow
That would be something to celebrate
don´t you think..
so stay tuned for a giveaway
Coming up very soon ;-)

Wishing you all a wonderful day

Creating with my Vintage Finds 2


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

Tina ♥♥♥
