Resurrection Day mobile

He is Risen indeed! This *wraps up* the series of Lent/Easter mobiles. I like to use this gauze-like fabric to represent the burial cloth- the gold is for royalty/priceless/etc. and the pastels are just add-ins for spring :) I used the mirror tile garland to reflect the lights. One of the highlights of the day: a little girl visiting told me that when she looked up at the ceiling, she saw Jesus :) and that is exactly what I was shooting for :) Alleluia ><>

Holy Week Mobile

For Holy Week, the sanctuary mobile takes on a darker look, and rightly so. I removed all the purple and most everything else and removed a few *spokes* to make it smaller. I painted a vine of thorns on some kraft paper for the focal point, and there are three spikes hanging below that. I also made 30 *pieces of silver* from gray paper and embossed them in my Cuttlebug to make them look 'coin like' ( at least that's how I see it :)  Looking foward to Resurrection Sunday~ 

*jelly fish* part 5

So this week was a little low key....I added the hearts and took away a few other things ( the black netting- it just wasn't doing it's job :) See you next week! 

'jelly fish' part 4

This week I added some black paper chains, and the rest of the chain stitched jute I made. We've sure been having some awesome worship lately :) I just am so thankful for our new Pastor! Stay tuned ~

some days.......

you know, there are some days when I think to myself, how could this day get any better? today is panning out to be just that. i have the absolute joy of playing on the worship team with the most amazing people, and we rocked the house for Jesus today ( at least, it sounded that way from behind the drums :) our new Pastor is just a refreshing, humble, sold out to Jesus Shepherd.....the sun is shining, it's a glorious day.....a nice lunch out with my hubby and MIL, a *daylight saving time nap* ( which, i will milk that excuse for the next two weeks, at least :) , the joy of meeting one of my stamp customers and finding out that we have very much in common.....not the least of things, purple :) and a get together with our small group tonight. i am so thankful for so many blessings in my life- evident on a daily basis. so how's YOUR day going? 

"Jelly fish" Part 3 :)

This week got a little more 'purple'. I tucked up the black in the center and surrounded it with some shimmery purple fabric. Four more dowel 'spokes' were added, with strips of purple scrapbook paper draped from them. A few more ribbons and some wide purple yarn I got on clearance add to it all. I just found out that the choir is singing "The Weeping Tree" on Good Friday- our Worship leader created an amazing tree for the altar the last time they did it, and he was excited that there were branches on the mobile to tie it all together :)  ( which I gleaned from my MIL'S property- they look pretty gnarly!) Next week's 'plan - in - my - head' includes a twist back to a more 'sin focused' theme. Stay tuned :) 

Retirement Sale update :)

Things are flying out the door :)  There's about 20 images out of stock already ( but out of 1,000 + odds are pretty good that I still have what you want :) Just keeping you posted.....pun intended. Have a great day!
