Hearts

Hello my dear friends,
it is simply Neutrals Tuesday again and I would like to share  a heart I just finished. Unfortunately I didn't get it done in time for Valentine's day.

I really like the way it turned out and it is not as dark as it seems.

It is already on its way to someone special.

Linking up with Wen's Simply Neutrals Tuesday Party over at Apple Apricots blog.

Wishing you all a lovely week and as always thank you so much for stopping by and fr leaving sweet comments.

Hugs and love,

We Welcome 2018

Hello my dear friends,
2017 was not a good year for my hubby and me, so we welcome 2018 very much.
I hope you all had a good start into the new year and it will bring all you wished for.
I also would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your support and all the lovely comments you left. Due to all the events happened in 2017 it was quiet challenging to me to start creating again.

You all know how much I love soldering, so that is how I got started and  had much fun.

The heart created is more 3D like.

Although I still have a number of  scheduled doctors' appointments,  I promise to do my best to blog more often as last year. Have a lovely weekend and as always thank you so much for stopping by.

PS.: Simpy Neutrals Tuesday's are back and I will link up to it.

Please hop over to Apple Apricot to see all the Neutrals. Thank you, dear Wen:)

Hugs and love,

Forever In Our Hearts

Hello my dear friends,
so much has happened since my last post that I don't know where to begin. I created the hearts a while ago and they have been waiting in my inbox to get posted since July.
First of all my eye problems are still ongoing since - although I had several doctors' visits  - the root of the problem could not be determined yet.
On top of that my mother in law passed away unexpectedly. This had a major impact of our activities over the last 2 1/2 weeks and left us in a deep hole. She will be in our hearts forever.

In order to get back to normal we decided to take a little vacation. I hope you are all well.

Have a lovely Sunday and as always thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs and love,

Hello From Me

Hello my dear friends,

I hope you don't think that I'm ignoring you all but my eye did not improve, it got really worse and

my vision is not the best. Due to this I'm unable to visit your Blogs. Hopefully the cortisone I'm now taking will help and I will be able to return soon.

I created the soldered matchbox in March and like the way it came out.

Wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and I will return as soon as my eye and vision improve.

Hugs and love,

Hearts

Hello my dear friends,

you might have wondered what took me so long to publish my first post in 2017.

After a good start into the new year we learned that we had a burglary into our new home in Germany.Let me just tell you that this is an experience nobody needs.

It took me a while to recover. Today I would like to share my soldered harts with you, which I created at the end of December. 

The inspiration for the hearts came from an online class I took from Terri Brush.

She is a wonderful teacher and I can highly recommend any of her classes.

At the moment I'm trying my best to get back to normal. I hope 2017 started good for you.

Wishing you all a wonderful week and as always, thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs and love,

Simply Neutrals Tuesday

 Hello my dear friends,
for today's Simply Neutrals Tuesday @ Apple& Apricot  I would like to share some vintage keys with you. There is just something about old keys and I can't resist - they just have to come home with me:)

Below you can see a shadow box I created for a dear friend. I will only show the back of the pendant  because my friend hasn't received it yet. Just a little teaser.

 The necklace below was also created for a dear friend.

Have a wonderful week and as always thank you o much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Thank you, dear Wendy for hosting this wonderful party. 

Hugs and love,

Marie

Altered Perfume Bottle

Hello my dear friends,

the bottle was a lucky find some time ago and below you can see what she looks like now:) 

                                                       My new tiny dress form.

Right now I'm working on a necklace for myself and the soldered heart will be the focal piece.

Have a a wonderful weekend, dear friends and as always thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs and love,

Simply Neutrals Tuesday

Hello my dear friends,

the last week I was down with a real nasty cold but now I'm back creating again.

The image used in the chandelier crystal is actually a rubber stamp from the Stampsmith -  Ophelia.

One of my favorite stamps and I love the way it turned out. 

The charm above was quite a challenge  for me as this is the first time I soldered a crown to a charm.

Simply Neutrals #14

Hello my dear friends,
please accept my apologies for being late for the Simply Neutrals Tuesday over @ Apple & Apricot

I created this soldered pendant and a sacred heart for a very dear friend as a Christmas gift. 

Below are just a few of the lavender pillows my friend Patti created for me. They are simply gorgeous and smell so good.

Angel Wings

        

                                                               
Hello my dear friends,
the angel wing ornament was created for a dear friend. I liked it so much that I created another one for myself as a tree topper.

I finally finished one of my bezels and really like the way it turned out.

The last Christmas mail went out today and one more project to go. How about you?

Sorry I'm so behind with my visits but I will catch up with you today.

Have a wonderful week and as always thank you so much for stopping by and for all your lovely comments.

Christmas Whites

Hello my dear friends,
as all of you I'm busy getting all my Christmas gifts (projects ) done. The altered matchbox above is a quick and easy project. The graphic of course was provided by Karen, The Graphics Fairy
Thank you so much, Karen.

Here is a mini version of  wishes in a bottle. Still need to decorate the tree.

As you can see below, my old ladder is all dressed up.

Hope you enjoyed my Christmas Whites. Linking up with Wen's Simply Neutrals Tuesday @

New Bezels

Hello my dear friends,
I don't know if you remember the open back bezels I created way back in May. I thought it was time to finally do something with them and here they are.

I used a thin layer of resin and might add another layer  to get a doomed look. So far I'm pleased with the result.

Two new hearts and 

a new bezel. Now I have to look for the perfect image. 

Happy Thanksgiving to my american friends. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week and as always thank you so much for stopping by and for all your lovely comments.

Also a warm welcome to my new followers.

Hugs and love,
