Pine Cone Ornament

       










John 10:32-38
32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?" 
33 The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God." 
34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I said, you are gods'? 
35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came--and Scripture cannot be broken-- 
36 do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? 
37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 
38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."  


These are the cutest things!

Baby Girl Wreath

This is so cute but boy do I hate working with burlap! It stinks and has so many loose fibers that fly every where! Wear a mask if you have breathing difficulties!

Fresh Kissing Ball

 




John 20:24-29
24 Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 
25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe." 
26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." 
27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe." 
28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" 
29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."      


This was time consuming but worth it!
I used greenery from the yard.
I used a wet oasis ball, which you need to cover in netting.
I used the netting bag that holds the onions from Walmart.
Soak the ball in water.
Run a ribbon through the entire length of the ball, to make this hole insert a wood pencil and secure with a knot, leaving excess ribbon at top, for a bow and hanger and the bottom for streamers.
Use floral pins, they resemble extra large stables, and secure the greenery.
It is February and that thing is still pretty!
I hung my outside but you can hang in doors!
Next Christmas. good Lord willing, I will use fresh cut balsam!   
                                                                        

Berry Wreath

Acts 2:24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.


This is the simplest of wreaths to make!
Buy a grapevine wreath and a berry garland.
Wrap around the grapevine wreath until you have the desired look.
Top with the bow of your choice or use it with no bow!
This is a fall season one but you can do them with spring flowers also.

For Baby Wade

Ps.127:3

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.

This was a fun project that turned out
absolutely gorgeous!! I had some linen
look material (can't remember how many yards but I think it was 3 or 4) and I cut it into 4x4 squares. It takes around 200 squares. I then folded the square in half and pinched
the the square from the top center and scrunched
it into a flower shape. I used those tiny clear hair rubber
bands and put it on the bottom to hold the flower shape.
I then pinned them to a 14 inch white Styrofoam extruded wreath base, I found at Hobby Lobby.
I used extra long white headed pins that I got at Walmart, but extra long t pins would work fine.
This project took 1 day to make. I topped it off with a chevron print ribbon.
