Fabric collage Nest

I love birds and often use that theme in my collages and  books. Here is another collage with that theme for me it is endless.

Some close ups.

Fall

Fall is here with all his beautiful colors and secrets in the forest. Do you rember them?   The trees gave there most beautiful colours,everywhere the warm coloured chestnuts falling down. In the old wood all kind of secret things growing. Dreaming that there lives elfs under. After that eating a warm pancake with sirup. And  ofcourse baking cookies with mamma..  Oh all those sweet memories wich are now happening in the life of my little granddaughter. Are we not blessed with our grandchildren so we can experience those feelings twice in our life??

Hope you all enjoy gorgeous days.

A beautiful gift from a dear friend.

In our creative blogger world you meet a lot of friends. Some nearby and some far away on this world. Just a few of them become very dear friends. For me one of those friends is Dorthe. Always caring for her friends and so creative  her BLOG is so inspirational. One or twice a year Dorthe and i have a swap. Last week i received a box from her filled with the most beautiful gifts. All wrapped with love and care. There was a beautiful card.

And this very special roll. made of beautiful lace, fabrics, images and beads.Never seen such before.

And than the most beautiful lace book. She knows i love birds so this book is filled with birds images and beautiful nature elements in little pockets. Look and enjoy all these beautiful pages she made.

And ofcourse there where some goodies Dorthe knows i enjoy very much.

Dear Dorthe thank you for all these treausres i will give them a very special place in my house.

Striped crochet blanket

I always wanted to crochet a blanket.  I admired all those beautiful blankets on internet and dreamed of once making one myself.  Ok i have some beginners skills with crocheting but further than a pair of baby socks i never became. Till i saw this beautiful blanket on the blog of  Little Woollie.  With the fall coming i thought that it was a great challenge to start crocheting one during  the long dark evenings. Different colors than i normally use but so much fun to do.  My little granddaughter saw all the colors and checked every day how it was growing  or maybe ready. And now it is ready and with all the support i had from her it  is very hard to keep it for myselff. So in a  couple of weeks she is moving to  a ' big girls'  bed and i will give her the blanket  for her new bed. Now i have to make oine for myself again but... the winter is still coming.
