Inspiration....

Inspiration.

Such a powerful word. We all need inspiration.

Why?

Because we all at one time or another, lose inspiration. The daily grind of life tends to sap it out of us.

That is until now.....because now we have.....

Let me just come out and admit this right now....I'm in love with this website.

Talk about inspiration!

If you can dream it, I bet you can find it on this site.

This past week, I made 3,"no sew roman shades", all because of the inspiration I found on Pinterest!

Here they are


I just love them! And it's all because of............... Pinterest Logo


 I love how people are sharing ideas and posting the most amazing projects all for free on this worldwide social network thing. Amazing!


Notice, these are "no sew curtains".....no sew.

 I do not enjoy sewing,...actually, I hate sewing.

 Next to wallpaper, it is my least favorite form of hands on activity.  My aversion to sewing goes all the way back to high school home economics class..........I made a D on my sewing project! I was scarred for life! The first born perfectionist side of me, simply could not handle anything that resulted in a D. It was the same for geometry too. It didn't help that I was taking the class with one of my best friends and she could sew a dress without even using a pattern!
 Who does that?
 I struggled to sew a dress with a pattern. Sigh... It was embarrassing. Such a blow to my sensitive high school self-esteem. I've never fully recovered, but that is a subject for another day.

 Sewing.... is the hardest thing I've ever done.

I did a Triathlon a few years back......Way easier than sewing!!

My point is... and I do have a point. These no sew curtains were fun to make. I enjoyed the whole process... ....well except the hanging, that took a little practice.....okay, an hour or more of practice.

Back to my point....sorry.

I was inspired! It feels good to be inspired!


 To inspire is to bring life, to bring hope and vision. To cause movement.

Inspiration

I think we could all use a little more inspiration in our lives.

And once we've received it.... we should share it! Freely share it! 

Who knows where it could lead?


Psalm 78:2-4
I will open my mouth in parables,
I will utter hidden things, things from of old-
what we have heard and known, what our
fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children;
we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord
his power, and the wonders he has done.




Inspiration.....it is a powerful word!
