Let Us Always Remember ..

Hello my dear friends,

today let us remember ... remember all those who lost their lives fighting for our freedom and for peace.

But not only shall we remember all the men and women but also all the animals who lost their lives serving their country.

I remember all of those this year with the colors of my poppies.

Red for all those men and women and purple for all the animals that have lost their lives too.

My Remembrance Day creation this year is again a 'Heart~Felt' ~ to remember and ...

 

... 'Never Forget'

Have a peaceful day.

Many hugs.

'Raindrops And Roses' ..

Hello my dear friends,

I don't know what it is with me giving my creations names, I think it just makes them a little more personal.

At times I am not even sure how I find the names for them. With the creation I am sharing with you today, I was singing 'Raindrops and Roses' from the movie 'The Sound of Music' in my head and editing photographs for this post. The neat thing about the name is, that these are some of the photographs I was working on  ...

... they are some roses from my little old rosebush.
They were decorated with many little raindrops from the early morning and looking so beautiful.

And this is one of my newest creations that I am so happy to share with you today ...

 ... 'Raindrops And Roses'.

It is another tarnished sewing stand with a pale rose colored and velvet pincushion that has been embellished with some lovely shaded seam binding and a very pretty old broach. I personally think, the name I gave it suits is somehow very well.

I hope you have enjoyed my newest creation as much as I have enjoyed creating and sharing it.

Thank you all for being so kind to me with all your sweet comments and for being my followers.

Without you Todolwen would not be what it is ~ a very special place that means so much to me.

Thank you for that!

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.

'White Clover' ~ A Tarnished Get~Together ..

Hello my dear friends,

I am so happy to share another one of my seven newest creations that I have recently made with all you lovely bloggers today.

It is a small sewing stand with a lovely pincushion which I have called ...

... White Clover.

I have no idea why I chose that name for this creation, it just came to me and I like it.

I just love the bright whites of the fabric and seam binding and the tarnished metal.

 It is like they were just meant to be together.

I will be sharing more of my tarnished sewing stands and also more pocket watch pincushions in the days ahead, so don't forget to stop by and take a look at what I have been creating.

Thank you for visiting me here at Todolwen, it is always so nice when you do.

I hope you are well and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.

Being Creative Helps ..

Hello my dear friends,

the best way for me to try and take my mind off things that are bothering me and having a bad effect on me is to be creative and busy and that is exactly what I have done over this past few weeks. I just and grabbed a bunch of treasures and supplies, sat down and just started to work and I can tell you ... I have been busy! Not only did I make one new piece ... I ended up making seven new creations which I will be hopefully sharing with you over the next days.

So I am sharing my first piece with you.
It is a tarnished sewing stand with a lovely pincushion and I called it ...

... 'Vintage Pearls'.

I hope you like my newest tarnished get~together.
I must say, I am very please with the way it has turned out.

Don't forget there are a few more pieces like this that I will be sharing here on Todolwen, so do stop by again and see what I have been up too.

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.

My Snowflakes A Little Different ..

Hello my dear friends,

I just thought I would share a new take on some of my snowflakes that I am working on these days.

Have you ever seen fluffy snowflakes? ... If not, you will now.
This is what it looks like when you ...

... crochet them from mohair wool.
 I had some of this lovely off-white wool in my 'white wool' box and didn't know what to use it for until now. I do. Don't they just look so lovely?!

Just look at how fluffy and delicate it is!

If you are asking what I might be using them for ...

... here is a little sneak peek for you. I will share more about this all about very soon.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting me again here at Todolwen  and I would love for you to do so soon again.

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.

Happy Spooking!

Hello my dear friends,

I just wanted to make sure I would wish you all a Happy Halloween before the day of spookiness ends.

This is my daughter Caylagh's pumpkin design this year, it turned out so great!

I myself am of course working on creations that have to do the a colder season and the most wonderful time of the year. Hopefully I will have something new to share with all you lovely blogger very soon again.

I hope you are well and life is treating you kind.

Have a spooky and ghoulish evening.

Christmas Time ..

Hello my dear friends,

today I would like to share my newest little making with you.

 It is a bit more whimsical than I normally would choose it to be but never the less still so neat! I used another pocket watch casing and it isn't another pincushion but one of my newest Christmas makings of this year.

And this is it my newest Christmas creation which I have named ...

... 'Christmas Time'.

My little frozen man is almost done with decorating his snow covered tree and has only one star left to place at the top.

The little stars are embedded with sparkling Swarovski crystals and they are a favorite of mine.

I love the old and tarnished look of the watch casing ~ perfect in every way for this creation.

I am so happy with this little pocket watch creation .. more that I actually thought I would be at first and I hope you like it too my dear bloggers.

Thank you for stopping by today and it would be nice if you would do so again sometime.

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.
