On a Walk

Down the staircase I saw this little face.

This is a helicopter seed that we threw in a web to get the spider out from hiding...

She is the most talented helicopter seed thrower

Music Flowers

Well... I took amazing GUITAR STRINGS that my brother in law gave me.

Cut and folded them enough so they would just barely fit out of the vase (1$ at dollar tree btw)

Cut pieces of fabric in circles progressively getting smaller.

Sew with sweet button.

TRICK- with the guitar strings that do not have a little circle that makes it easy, weave the end of the guitar string in and out of a button and then sew on the circles and sweet button.

A Weekend Trip

because everybody needs a rest sometime

Outfits to think about.

I went to youth group last night wearing this ensemble and I was so enthused that so many people commented! - not because I care so very much if students like my clothes, but because it makes a shared interest and a way to connect- and that my friends is a sweet thing!

Added some jars for storage... and I think they give the room some character... it is a bathroom after all

And here it is! This is

Before

Sometimes we only use our minds to know God

A little look...

These are some interesting pics taken recently. A little look into my days...

#1 uno
We wanted the youth at our church to have more opportunities to express themselves...

so we gave them journals

we want to put their art on display in the room, as well as poetry

we are asking for their help doing various jobs

and we used spray chalk board paint to make a strip they can use chalk on!

This is the messy-ness you must make in order to have such a big mess afterwards
I do suggest though to use the can paint and the not the spray.
(I am finding paint in my tissues after I sneezE!!!)

Below is the MAN cleaning up...

AND here is the final product!
