Operation Christmas Stocking: Part 02

Not only are these mini stockings for sale at $5.00 each, but a replica of each will be donated to Operation Holiday Stockings: A charity that sends filled Christmas stockings to deployed soldiers.   More styles will be added when available.

Update:  The organization is no longer taking donations (and never update their website or social media pages if they are), so these stockings will be put to some other use.

31 Days of 5 Minute Free Writes 2017 - 27: "Overcome"

   Mary Jane Baby Booties.  Crochet   Romans 8:36-37 (KJV) - As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ⌚   I've never had to make the choice of life or death for another human being. I've never had to overcome the fear and guilt of a pregnancy out of wedlock. I've never had to overcome the anger and resentment after the birth of a child who's the product of rape or incest. I've never had to overcome my own selfish nature to carry an inconvenient child. I've never had to overcome the terror that the baby I carry is a danger to my own life. But... God has given me opportunities to help someone else overcome those fears.  Though none of these women have ever seen my face, they've had a pair of my handmade baby booties placed lovingly in their hands by a volunteer a...

31 Days of 5 Minute Free Writes 2017 - 20: "Discover"

 "Pond at Evergreen."  Photograph Available as a 4x6 greeting card Luke 15:8-10 - “Or imagine a woman who has ten coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and scour the house, looking in every nook and cranny until she finds it? And when she finds it you can be sure she’ll call her friends and neighbors: ‘Celebrate with me! I found my lost coin!’ Count on it—that’s the kind of party God’s angels throw every time one lost soul turns to God.” ⌚   Making new discoveries in art is so fun. Finding a new technique that simplifies the process and makes an even better project. Discovering cool new tools. Finding new stores that sell supplies, offer classes, or that simply stir creativity. Figuring out how to create something I couldn't before. Making new discoveries in my new town has also been fun.  I've not had a lot of time to explore, but on my commute, many new places have caught my eye.  I look forward to moving closer so I can explore. ...

Dollar Tree Challenge #2

Image
Not a sponsor One of the YouTube crafters my sister introduced me to is Amber Riley from This Southern Girl Can . She's an awesome creative from North Carolina.  Her specialty is Dollar Tree crafts.  This past week, she did a simple Independence Day craft that looked fun and I just had to try it.  Here's her video explaining the craft: The only things I needed to buy were the picture frame and the bag of Styrofoam stars. I already had clothespins, craft paint, and hot glue. I haven't figured out an appropriate space outside my apartment complex where I can spray paint, so I hand painted the clothespins.  I liked the color of my picture frame, so I didn't paint it.  I also had some jewels and metal letters in a box of craft supplies I was given a while back that I used on the plaque.   The only things I would do differently if I made this again are 1) I'd paint the inside of the frame backing since the pins don't fit perfectly (she warned abou...
