Bible Art

These cool bible passage illustrations are one of the best I've seen so far. What I really like is how he can illustrate the verses better than I can interpret them. No wonder they say a picture speaks a thousand words!

Below are a few that I really like.

Mind Set (Colossians 3:2)

What is Faith? (Hebrews 11:1)

Real Treasures (Matthew 6:19-21)

These are drawn talented Mr Rick Green. There are lots more great drawings & illustrations on his blog and he does custom drawings too, do check him out!

And guess what, I had actually made a card on the same verse too!

Notebook

I use to keep about 2 to 3 journals going at the same time, one for notes, one for drawings and one for the random stuffs. I write everything down everywhere I go whenever I thought of a new idea, figured out how to go about doing my craft projects or when I see something interesting which could possibly turn into an inspiration for me.

I carry them with me all the time, but it’s getting quite difficult to do so now as my bags are filled with all my baby’s stuffs.Till I found this new notebook by Edward Monkton, which is slim, long, has both blank and lined pages.

Now I can make my notes on the lined page and do my drawings or mind mapping on the blanked.

And the front cover of the notebook itself.... is an inspiration already!

Everything Is A Phase

Finally I can start sewing now after 5 months! She is able to play alone now, though for a while at a time. Still seems kinda unbelievable that my little one who so far seems to need my attention for every waking moment, is amusing herself with her little hands and feet!

Well, nothing goes on forever and just when you think you've reached breaking point, things will change again.

That's why I keep telling myself not to stress. Just take time to enjoy every moment I have with her even through all the feeding and vomiting, crying and fussiness and the sleepless nights because she won't remain baby forever and I know one day I will miss being close to her in that special way that I can only be when she is so little! So I'm trying to get as many cuddles as I can now.

This bit goes so quickly - everything is a phase - so make the most of every moment.

Baby Footprint Keepsake

Had a clay footprint of my baby when she was three months old. Made this from Amos i-clay, the world's softest clay which is soft and lightweight. It is also washable, crack free and feels like rubber when dry and won't break even if you drop it.

Haven't thought of what to do with this yet, probably make a two-sided felt frame one side for the footprint and the other for her photo.. just for keepsake.

Imagine the Possibilities

Joy of Being a Mom (Again)

Since becoming a mom, I’ve come to realize that there are so much more important things in life than ourselves and what we have going on. Being a mom also gives me the chance to relive things and appreciate things that I never took the time to appreciate.

My favorite part about being a mom is seeing little Megan grow and learn daily, amazed at every little thing, seeing her become her own individual and knowing that I’m responsible for teaching her about life and love. Sometimes I can just stare at her all day long in wonderment!

Since her 3rd week, she's been vomiting after every feeding and staying awake the whole night arching and crying almost every night. She's 4 months old now, though still has reflux but she's sleeping through the nights now waking only occasionally. But those were the countless sleepless and frustrating nights and I would never have surpass that stage without the support of my loving husband.

Being a mom has made me a more patient and loving person now. It's a true blessing to be a parent.
