A New Year with the Passion Conference

My projects have been put on hold this week to attend Passion 2011. It was an amazing 4 days of worship, and as a part of the conference, they created this museum-like exhibit called the Go-Center, where participates could learn more about and donate to different international causes. As a lover of arts and crafts, I wished I could have been a part of the construction. It was a room full of inspiration!

The pictures below are from the area where you could donate to building wells in India. There were multiple areas where they had objects hanging from the ceiling – here it was water bottles.

Below are pictures from the Compassion International market, where you could donate a chicken, medicine, etc.

I keep my [felt] hearts on a string

With my new sewing machine, I’ve been waiting for something to inspire me. Playing around, I sewed together a heart, and the idea hit me – hearts of a string.

With 2 squares of off-white felt, quilt backing, gold thread and grey yarn, I made this project in about an hour.

I liked this project because it doesn’t have to be perfect. My first heart was far from having an even seam, so I sewed another stitch and the imperfectness made it look really cute!

I’m thinking with some pink and red felt, this project will make the perfect Valentine’s Day decor!

(And shout out to the birthday girl and my friend who received these hearts – Carmen! It’s just a small token of how much your friendship means to me.)
