Bible Verses for Good Friday

Today I don't have much to post. Just a few Good Friday-ish bible verses.
I might post a tutorial later if I have time.

Remember to thank Jesus for dying for us!

Art Shop Update

Me and my mom have been working for 5+ hours at the art shop each day. It's ALOT of work! The funniest part is that we don't own or really have anything to do with the place! We've been painting walls smurf blue and paint tape blue for 2 days, and going around finishing all of the murals and stuff! After that we (meaning i) are going to have to redo all of the furniture they bring in. Sounds like fun, but the place is 45 minutes away, so it's a pain for us to get to. :(



THis is my version of the Peaceable Kingdom. Lot'sa work. And we painted it just from a cruddy picture printed off the internet, so we didn't see (AT ALL! NO JOKE!) the other cow, the river, and some other fun stuff :P
The girl who's painting this is working on finishing up the details! I had to do a little because she can almost never come. This picture is before any of the detailing.

LOVE THIS! Of course I had nothing to do with this one... but I love it all the same! :D The shop looks so much better! The sunny yellow really lights the space up!

Today's verse:

Sorry for the lack of craftiness!

Ugh! Why am I so bad at titles?

I can never think of any titles for my posts... so there may be more than one post with the same title.. :P any tips?

I've been busy painting at the art shop the past 2 days.. murals are alot of work!! I'll post some pics of it soon though!


Here are some of the things I found on sale at Joann's:

^all 25 cents except the enamels which were 50 cents! :D

Garage Sailing - part 2

I'm back for the crafty part of "Garage Sailing"! Here are all of the crafty (totally vintage!) Pieces of 'junk'!!!: Hooks and Eyes:

15 cents?!!? Wow, these must be from along time ago!

Lots of snaps!

25 cents for each bag?? How could I refuse???!

A few squares of fabric... don't know what I'm going to do with them yet.

More pretty fabric... I have no clue why this is underlined...............

More.........

More............

All of this was $1.50. :D I KNOW I don't need ANY more fabric... but seriously... how could some sane person refuse? Or maybe that's just me.... That's all for today! I need to go do something crafty now..... with fabric... any cool sugestions of easy (hehehe) stuff to make with fabric scraps? I'd love to hear any ideas or websites!

xoxo.

Garage Sailing - part 1

Yesterday and Today's Bible verses:

I love garage sailing! I know it's not actually spelled like that FYI. :P It just feels like you're sailing around buying stuff from lots of little thrift stores! :D Hehe! Anyways, this weekend is our neighborhood garage sale weekend, so naturally, we went the first day and bought lots-a stuff! :D Here is part one of what we got:

^ 50 cent sunburst mirror. pretty picture frame for $1.

Fake bread, wheat, eggs, a random banana (I didn't see it or the scarecrow which is now in the trash :P) And a hen candleholder which is actually pretty cute. :D And the bin they are in is super cute!

2 basket things from pier 1 (with 10$ price tag still on.) and a bunny (50 cents) I got the bread stuff, the pier 1 baskets, and the red candle holder down below for $3!

1$ milk pitcher. I am obsessed with pitchers. <3 I buy every one I see at thrift stores. No joke. I'll post my collection later on...

Candle holder. This is pure epicness. I love it. That's the only reason I (my mom.. hehehe) handed over $5 for this.

Here's the red candle holder. I almost bought one just like this at a thrift store for $3.

$1 teapot. My next obsession :)

Ok, I can't wait to show this to you! It is pure awesome, I tell you! Our zoo is having a recycled sculpture contest thing, and I was thinking about what to make for ever! 2 days ago (it needed to be turned in today.) I asked my dad if he had any ideas. He said he'd think about it and went off to go read. 20 minutes later he dragged me over to an old fan we had laying around (I tell you, we have all sorts of junk laying around :P) and started taking it apart. He then held the pieces up and asked if it looked like a dragonfly... It totally did, because he is awesome and is soooo much more creative than me :D Can you tell he's pretty cool? :P So then we (he) put it all together and 4 hours later... voila:

(It's the fan-fly.)

The tail is aluminum flashing, and the legs are old rebar. :D I love it!

Tulips-Tulips-oh, and more Tulips!!

I love tulips. Ask anyone in my family. I freak whenever I see them. Really. :D Unfortunately my dad thinks they are a pain to grow. So I don't get my own tulips. :( But I take pictures of them when ever I can, and I had an opportunity to take some beautiful pictures yesterday. YAY! :D so today is just plain, beautiful pictures of tulips! Even the Bible verse is tulips!
