Sneak Peek




I figured I'd roll out some samples of what we'll make in our group. These are in no particular order as I'll have to be strategic in which crafts to do first so we'll all have enough time to collect and find materials. A schedule will be coming soon!

1. Etched Map Glass Tray via Design*Sponge
2. Tin Can Pin Cushion via Design*Sponge
3. Storybook Paper Roses via 100 Layer Cake
4. Egg Carton Lights via Espirit Cabane
5. Repurposed Leather Bracelet via At Second Street
6. Pompom Gift Topper via Curbly
7. T-shirt Rolled Rosettes Pillow via Craft Goodies
8. Decoupage Shoes via Copy Cat Crafts
9. Toilet Paper Roll Wall Art via Design*Sponge

So start collecting toilet paper rolls, a tin can, an old book, a wooden picture frame with glass, an egg carton, target bag, leather purse, white t-shirts, and old flats or pumps. And again, you don't have to do any of the crafts to join the group.

The Low Down on Repurposed




What could be better than a small group full of North Creek ladies? A small group that CRAFTS together!

I'd love to share with you some of my favorite crafts which involve repurposing old, useless junk into beautiful, useful items. I'll be posting the items needed a week in advance. You are not required to do the crafts to be a part of the group. For the first craft, you will not need any supplies.

In addition to the craft, we will be digging into the Bible. Our lives can become a beautiful mess. At times, it can be more messy than beautiful, more painful than wonderful, more confusing than clear, and more ordinary than extraordinary. Yet we do not lose hope, for God has written his beautiful purposes all over our souls and works on us to make us more like Jesus.

Looking forward to growing together with you ladies and hearing your stories as well!
