What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday? #126

It has been awhile since I've been on WWW. Life has just been happening, although I have been reading your posts. Here's my desk with  a finished project and starting a new project. The finished project is one of my  hanging lamps. I will be listing them in my esty store.  My new project is a flower brooch from the Inspired to Sew book by Bari J. Ackerman. I 'm off to click around and visit some of your posts this morning before I get ready for work. Wishing you a wonderful day.

A Pumpkin Search

This past Saturday we had a relaxing time  not to many places to go or meetings to attend. So we decided to go on a pumpkin search at Gnismer Farms.

Trailer  rides,Scarecrow building,Corn stalks and pumpkins .

 

The weather was great. Now on to our pumpkin search.

 

 

 

 

These are the two we chose. Now on to the house to create a  Fall display with them and later for carving.

 Hope you enjoyed our visit to the farm.  I loved to hear about your fall decorating. Wish you a great week.

Creating for a Show!

I have been  preparing for a show in  Sept. This post will be a short one with photos. I would like to share some of my houses that I created. I am also getting geared up to sell my creations on my etsy shop soon. On to my houses:

Before my creative flow began this is how the houses looked.

This is what my created flow designed.

The form is already built and I just let my create thoughts flow. I have been thinking on designing my own form and then decorating. Well, I better get busy, more on the agenda to create. Hope you have a great day and week.

Wow! What a Weekend !

Just a quick post to let you now about the AWESOME weekend I had. I attended my first Women of Faith conference ( not to be my last). 

God puts us in places and times just when we need to be wrapped in his arms. I was reminded that we were created to be connected to Him first and to others. Laughter, Oh what laughter I had and enjoyed. I 'm thankful for the opportunity to have gone and Praise our Lord and share with other women. Let me share with you some of the wonderful people on the Over the Top team this year. Authors: Andy Andrews, Patsy Clairmont, Marilyn Meberg, Lisa Welshel, and Brenda Warner. Singing Artists: WOF Worship team,Sandi Patty, Amy Grant,and Mandisa. I can't wait to dive in to some of the books and listen to some wonderful music.I thought about what my favorite part of this opportunity was, this is it a young woman came up on stage to sing part of a song with Sandi Patty. I believe her name was Lisa Smith. Lisa sang in sign language,she sang with such exuberance and my thought was sometimes we don't have to make a sound to praise God just let our hearts flow toward him. Thank you for the opportunity Lord. 

This post isn't about an item or object I created ,but what God has created in us. So go out and create and connect with Him and others . You just might be and inspiration.

My Sewing Project

A new dress , my sewing project I have been working on this week. I started to play can you guess what I've been working on post, but I got side track doing others things. I bought one of those patterns you can  make  in two hours.

I made the short dress. I used a linen tablecloth that I purchased on one of my day trips.This is a little lighter in weight than linen fabric I saw at the fabric stores. It is very soft. Below, I have my dress hanging on Anne, my somewhat dress form.

Here in the next photo you can view the white floral trim I added  around the neck to soften the neckline. 

I thought the trim complimented it very well. Hmh! I think I might get some pink  leggins to wear with the dress. Oh! I almost forgot to share about the  shoulder purse. About three weeks ago my daughter and I bought two of  the bags to carry just a few items around with us while we are out and about. We had fun decorating them.Here is a close up of mine:

Here is a view of hers:

What a blessing it is to use our creative thoughts and energy, especially with others. Well I am off to work on some other creative thought. Have Awesome day.

Recycling & A New Storage Container

Here is a quick recycle idea . I recycled one of those cylinder box
that wall decals come in and decoupaged this tissue paper on the container.

Working with cylinder containers are a bit tricking for me.I always seem to get the paper laid out accurately and then once I start to glue, the design is going the wrong way that I intended too.
Anyone ever that problem?Chuckle! Here is a look of  the paper on with two coats of Mod Podge.
I love that product.

While  sitting there looking at the cylinder OMG I had  a thought. I have the these word stampsby Anna Griffin. I stamped the words Love, Believe , and Dream in the middle of the open part of the design.

The top turned out great.

Add a couple more coats of Mod Podge and you'll have  a new storage container.
Enjoy your day and  include some creative time for yourself.
