Happy November! We are getting our sewing needles and thread out
this month for craft night. We are cutting and hand sewing these simple but so
pretty heart ornaments. A similar tutorial can be found here for the general idea of construction.
Supplies:
Fabric: scraps are perfect
Needle + Thread / sewing machine
Cotton balls / stuffing
Embellishments: buttons, ribbon, bows, beads, etc.
Hearts are my favorite shape and can be found doodled on nearly
any paper that comes in contact with my pen. Hearts are a symbol of love and a
word used to say how much you like something. They can represent the center of
an object or the soul and often tied to feelings depicting what we are all
about.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45)
and this month our prayer is to speak hope in to the hearts of those who are
hurting. Hearts of hope.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be
constant in prayer. Romans 12:12
Hope that only comes from believing in Jesus. That can be held
on to during the most crucial points in our lives and in the most blissful.
Hope that turns the mourning in to dancing and puts a new song in our mouth. It
is the hope that does not make everything okay but that never gives up. That restores
and renews. The hope that changes everything.
When we hope in Jesus, our lives change in ways only God can
imagine, as idols fall and the cross is continually picked up, with new eyes to
see the landscapes of a gifted life worth living despite circumstances. Hope that reveals patience during trials and
develops a conversational life of prayer.
Praying that your heart would be full of hope as you trust in Jesus and that it would
be interrupted with hope if it has yet to be and that you would in turn bless
someone else. Praying that you would find peace in the midst of life and
comfort in the quiet to rest and refreshment in the beauty of things hoped for.
We are using these tags (1.5" x 1.5") to attach to the
ornaments as we give them away. Click to print.
