Fun, Easy and Sew Cute! :)

Okay, one thing about me is I LOVE art...  I'm addicted to photography and have tons of fun painting and working with scrapbook paper. So I had a problem when there was a bare spot above my bed,  While I was reading an article in a magazine I found this wonderful and adorable idea ... all you need is a few embroidery hoops, cute fabric, scissors and a nail!

LOVE these!! They came from lushlee.com

1. Choose desired fabric that will fit the diameter of your embroidery hoop.

2. Separate rings of hoop and place the inner ring under the piece of fabric.

3. Place outside ring over inner ring and tighten screw on hoop to secure fabric in place.

4. Flip hoop and fabric over. Trim fabric with scissors, leaving about 1/2-inch overhang.

5. Cover the inside of the inner ring with double-sided tape and fold excess fabric into hoop to adhere.

6. Hang above bed, couch or anywhere in need of a splash of color! 

In my green walled room I have pink, white, black, green pattern and black and white polka dot and I just love them! They are so simple but add detail! :)  

1 Thessalonians 4:11 "Aspire to lead a quiet life, 

To work with your hands and to mind your 

own business   

Stop. Read. Reread!

Wow! I have not posted in months! So much has happened and life got pretty busy and before I knew it it's April! Well I learned valuable lesson today, I was running around trying to get some pictures taken and edited for a photo contest this week, when I went to install my Photoshop I got for Christmas ( uggh I know! I'm a procrastinator!) I paused for a moment to reread the front of the box really well and saw in big lettering  'For all your VIDEO editing needs'!  Thank goodness I hadn't tried to install it yet and there's a chance it can be returned... 'what lesson is that?' you ask,  The importance of knowing everything about what you are buying, even if the clueless man with the tag 'Hi! I work here, how may I help you?' pinned on his shirt says it's the "Biggest" selling Photoshop on the market!(lol)  anyways I'm going to see how much I can do with Picasa, and be thankful for that!:)  
    So, I thought I would at least post some pictures and apologize to my blog for neglecting it! :)

 

If you can't tell because of the vines, this is an old silo castle.

It is truly amazing in the winter when there is no growth!

And here is another shot

     Psalms 46:1-3  "God is our refuge and strength, 

   an ever-present help in trouble. 

 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way 

   and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 

 though its waters roar and foam 

   and the mountains quake with their surging
