WOYWW #725 - Craft Prayer Retreat

I went on a craft prayer retreat at the weekend and made some lovely things.

My favourite is the wire tree.

Closely followed by the Bee decoupage bottle.

I did my first ever needle felting and made a cross for myself and a friend, and some pipe cleaner flowers.

I also made a felt heart.

Got home and made my Scripture card for the week too.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Just got my new glasses and they are rubbish, going to question my prescription tomorrow. Oh my, so annoying.

WOYWW #724 Scrapping and ATCs

Oh my life I got back to scrapping. 

The last 2 LOs for June 2022 are on my desk awaiting sticking.

I did 3 other double layouts too. 

My husband's retirement ...

which coincided with the Queen's Platinum Jubilee...

and some geocaching and sofa ordering.

I even made some ATCs for the SWAP. I went for
collage which figures a lot on my scripture cards.

And Yes, did my Scripture card as well

Add in a few birthday cards too, so had a bit of a productive week.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #723 - Painting

Here we are again, doesn't the time fly round quick! Desk is in it's usual state of tidiness, you'd never think I did anything there would you? The main thing on my desk are my last 4 pairs of glasses as I go for my eye test this morning. I need to sort out what I need next.

There's a little "Books of the Bible" card behind the lamp on the wall, so I can record where I have got to. Taking it easy as I started in January LAST year and going through each book slowly this time. I think a lot can be lost trying to read it all in a year which I have done a few times before.

So there's the Bible Scripture card for the week. So loving doing these each week, using us all sorts of stash. I've saved some purple stuff from church last week (ticker tape, party popper) for this coming weeks collage.

A friend gave me a Easter wreath kit of a wire circle and a bag of ribbons. I couldn't resist doing a rainbow effect.

Think it needs some work still, although might make it into a Christmas one, who knows.

So to the painting...

First the the Lent study had a final bonus image for Easter Sunday, a bunny with big ears. Not my cup of tea really but I did is anyways as it's message was good despite the cartoon image.

Second, I gave the garden mushrooms, which had become might tatty, a lick of paint and a new look.

Then a couple of Bible Journaling watercolours which caught my eye on groups I follow.

I did the Good Friday - Crown of Thorns/King's Crown - Resurrection Sunday first. I was fortunate enough that the associated verses were on the same spread.

I did the Maundy Thursday second.

Hoping to get back to my scrapbooking one day....

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #722 - Getting Better Slowly

First up, apologies for not getting round to visiting last week, I was slowly getting better and then hubby came down with it and still has it!

Anyway, quite a lot better now, the sunshine certainly helps doesn't it.

I managed a bit of fussy cutting yesterday afternoon and thought, quick take a picture of my desk! LOL.

It's from an Easter A4 printable freebie - still working on that...

I made hubby an Easter card too. The torn backing paper symbolising the temple curtain which tore in two from top to bottom when Jesus died on the cross.

I made my friend an anniversary card earlier in the week. Having a bit of a Kraft/Cream moment methinks.

I did weeks 6 and 7 of the Lent Watercolour devotional series.

Week 6 - New Life

Week 7 - Palm Sunday

I think that is the end of the series, although she did hint at something for Easter Sunday, not sure?

I did my last March scripture card on Friday just about as it was gone midnight - oops. 

In fact after the eggs and the carrot I ended up going to bed gone 3am. Having this cold has really really mucked up any kind of sleeping habits I may (or may not) have had!

Did I mention the Eggs and Carrot? Saw them on the  Hammonds Nest Facebook page, and had it in mind to have a go sometime.....Managed to get some polystyrene eggs on Friday so had a go....

 

So that's me wrapped up all ready for Easter. Can't wait to have some of my Lindt bunny, a chocolate fast is hard going.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter and 

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

EDIT - Oh look at me, I did the pages allured to at the beginning of this post. As it's Easter, thought I best include it today.
