Sunday Blessing

"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him." Psalm 62:5

Have a great Sunday!

Fabric Ribbons

Don't have any ribbons for packages? Wrap a package with a strip of fabric for a nice pop of color.

Oil Painting

Just got an amazing oil painting at a junk store for $20! Heiko thinks it's odd, but I loved the colors.

It was cheap because it has 2 rips, but being an optimistic person, I thought they could possibly be disguised with black shiny beads thrown on, cascading down the side. Maybe decoupaging sheer grey fabric over the holes? Any other ideas on canvas repair?? Slapping on some oil-based paint? I wish I was a painter instead of a fixer.

Sunday Blessing

"No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you." Joshua 1:5

Have a great Sunday!

Paint chips

I didn't take too many, but did feel a little guilty. These paint chips from Home Depot were just too tempting.

Add a little ribbon, and viola, nice gift tag enclosures from Behr Paints.

From Japan

I haven't posted much lately because I dropped my camera battery in the dog's dish (of water, of course. It couldn't have fallen into the food part). Anyway. I taught in Japan after college and was given this beautiful kimono. It has hung in every place we have ever lived.

The coral/pink paint is a perfect backdrop for the kimono in our front hall. Wherever it is hanging, we are home.

Fabric-on-the-floor carpet

I bought this fabric to make a seat cushion in our bedroom. It feels like ultra-suede but looks like petite-point needlework. Thrown on the floor (with an old blanket underneath) makes it look like a carpet. Does anyone have any suggestion how this could be secured (or what else to use as a cushion?) I like to think of it as a carpet from Versailles, where artisans spent months and months threading little needles with fine thread to produce silk carpets. I spent all of $14. :)

Sunday Blessing

'added branches from the yard to roses from Aldi. Makes me smile.

"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you." Numbers 6:24-25

Have a great Sunday!
