Acquire The Fire
This past two days I spent my time in the Freeman Coliseum experiencing a life changing event, Acquire The Fire. What an amazing experience it was. I enjoyed it so much not only was it a lot of fun but a spiritual journey. Being in an area filled with people coming to experience Jesus and then all the leaders who you could just see Jesus love in them... it was an amazing experience. To those who have never herd it it's an event where you go and listen to speakers and hear bands and it's just a great time. I really enjoyed it and adore the things that are changing in me through Him.

Project: Flower Hair Accessory
So here it comes, my first project/tutorial. I'm pretty excited, it's just a simple flower hair piece and maybe half of you already make these yourself but for the other half. Oh and just a little note before we start... I'm a bit addicted to hot glue, almost all my projects include it even if it's not required.
You will need two ribbons one maybe three inches long and another about 1 inch, but you can be flexible on your length. And add a little jewel.
You start and with a pin and just stick it in the corner of the ribbon and wrap it around. My ribbon has a little bit of rough edges but it won't really matter. Just keep wrapping the pin and putting it through the edge of ribbon until you have a nice ruffles then unwind it so it forms a little flower.
Then time to go to the sewing machine(whoo!). You're going to have to remove the pin and carefully place your fingers in the same spot until you have the needle of the sewing machine placed in the ribbon and now sew a few small parts in the center. Now you have a flower. Do the same with the small flower. Now here's when my hot glue came into play. Hot glue them together and the jewel on top and wallah! you have a flower not just to attach it to a clip (with hot glue of course :))You might also have to attach the edges of the ribbon so you have a complete circle.
So there is my little flower ribbon thing, hope you enjoy. Next time I'll have another one sort of like this but more rosyish. Nothing big but fun to wear and it's such a joy to get compliments and you say "yah, I made it". Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Quotes!
So I've decided each week I will post a different quote. Some inspirational and others not so much... like this weeks. Here it is (trumpet horns):
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?" - Lewis Carroll - Alice in Wonderland
By the way I don't happen to be a Alice fan... just in case you got that idea, though I'd have no idea of where from ;). So have a wonderful day everyone. As soon as I get my pictures uploaded I will have a project posted.
