Doors, secrets, light oh my...

The day is finally done. All the drawing, the planning, the painting, hammering, nailing....the seminar was amazing. Everyone did so much work and prepared for this day with many hours of hard labor and much prayer. I really do pray and hope that all the young girls went away with a lot, but mostly that Jesus saves us and forgive us of our sins and washes us pure as snow. Wow. Nothing better then that!

Thought I'd share a little picture of me finally done at the photobooth and my super cute tee. Makes me miss designing clothes...on second thought, I love staying home with my babies!

I need to post some pictures of the cool doors that we put on stage and the final tee-shirt which was in teal. I had mine printed on a white burn-out tee.

Red, I think I like you...

So I just finished a red flower for a friend. I don't usually wear red, but I like how this one came out. Hope you like it Stephanie ;)

I'll be gearing up for the upcoming boutique...so much work to do!

Secret places...

Tomorrow is our girls seminar at church called "secret places". I had the scripture given to me for months. It took me a while to "feel" it and hear from God what it was I needed to draw. Sounds cliché, but that's how I honestly get inspired. It's just the way it is...and I wouldn't have it any other way. So I wanted to share what finally transpired from this, secret places theme. The scripture was from Luke... You'll see...

It went from this...






To some minor changes and then finally done!








I am super picky and could have changed so many things, but in the end, I found that the true meaning of the scripture came through. As much as we surround ourselves with "pretty" things or make ourselves look "invisible", we can not shut the for and hide our secrets from the Lord. He will bring them into the light. But by His grace we are saved and made white as snow!!

Here is a picture of the photobooth I set up for the girls to take buddy shots! Do you see the meaning in this?! Striped shirt, white underneath, windows and mirrors and the lights?! I hope so.

Boutique!!

Just a heads up that April 24-25 cclh will be having another boutique. I'll post more info and maybe the flyer. I have been making lots of crochet flower headbands...yay!

...did I only make one!?

I had to post this so that some of my friends that wanted one can see. The flower lays flat on your head and there are 3 strands on each side and ties in the back. I have been asked to make more :)

Why did I only make one?! Oh I know, I hadn't slept in days and my eyes were failing me. So, I will be making some more before Christmas. Better get to crocheting!

Women's Christmas Boutique and Dinner

So this year we decided to do a boutique at our annual Women's Christmas potluck. Within a weeks notice all of us who love making beautiful things decided to make our stuff and make it in time to sell at the boutique. Well, after many sleepless night, and much labor of love, we all made it. Here are some pictures of the things I had on my table. Hope you enjoy!

By the way, sold out of most things... but still taking orders ;p I've been knitting, crocheting and sewing away! Biggest hits, the knitted iPhone clutch, rings and beanies/clips.

My Art class "The 4 seasons"

Here is another post I've had as a draft.. ugh. I know. Anyhow, these were too cute to not show. It was on of the latest. I will post another with our end of semester art. This was "The 4 seasons". These are all preschool & Kinder-6th. Ok so I have one 6th grader, but you get the point. I love how creative they all are. This was done with dots, using paint brush tips, pencil tips, finger tips... no brush strokes. The pictures below are mostly of the 5-9 year olds.
