My Hands Float Up Above Me

In our backyard we have a little shed/house type of thing. I recently decided to turn it into a little art room/music room/quiet time/worship room.
It's been so good for me.
I've spent a lot of time out there and I've been creating a lot. The dreamer in me has come out even more.  I love sitting by myself with a good playlist on.  All of my different colors of paper, different colors of paint, my sharpies, the things that my mom & sisters have created on the walls, I love it. I can sit for hours creating things. Then I turn around & pick up my guitar and sing some songs & write down some lyrics & melodies.  I've even just gotten down on the floor on my face & prayed. I've stood up & twirled around & danced. I've raised my hands in the air crying begging God to change my heart so that it looks more like His. Begging Him for restored relationships. Begging Him for peace & contentment. It's just me & Him & I love it. It has filled me up so much this week.
Tonight I turned the lights down and was spending time singing and worshiping, with my hands up in the air and I looked over at a piece of art that my sister created for me and gave to me.  It was so sweet & I felt like God just gave me a little hug. Here is the piece of art:
Such sweetness.

Glue Gun = Power

I'm getting crafty again.
Not sure what will come out of this...but I went to Hobby Lobby and Walmart and got myself my very own glue gun. I have a feeling this little guy is going to change my life.
The possibilities with a glue gun are endless.
I feel a new sense of power with this. watch it.
Although I'm pretty confident it will own me. I'll have burn marks to prove it.
Here are some fabric pieces that I got...not sure yet what I will do with them. But they make me smile:

Pretty Green Flower

I'm getting crafty people.
I saw these cute hair pins on an etsy site and my new roommate, Jordan, told me that she could make them.
So I pulled out the random tub of fabric and she showed me what to do! Here is my favorite one that I made:

Not gonna lie. The glue gun about took me out.
