Market inspiration ...

Another year of twilight market season is over ... and as the sun streams into my last market tent, I take a few memory snaps with my camera. 

I always need a deadline to work to ... markets are very useful deadlines.  So with my list of ideas I will start preparing for the markets to begin again at the end of the year. 

Feeling very blessed to have support and encouragement around me!

...Market Mania ...

What an awesome market Friday Night was ... Moonlight Markets at Thorndon Park Rock.

Next Market is Friday 6th December ... planning to do more Christmas stuff ... 

I feel so much braver now I have done my first market for this summer ... I just have to keep standing for what I believe in ... for what I believe God has called me to do.

Don't be moved by the world ... Be moved by MY GOD.

I found these words on the internet so I don't know who to give credit to (if anyone knows please let me know) ... the words are true ...

I AM

THE DAUGHTER

OF A KING WHO

IS NOT MOVED 

BY THE WORLD

FOR MY GOD

IS WITH ME AND

GOES BEFORE ME

I DO NOT FEAR

BECAUSE I AM

HIS

I would encourage everyone to have the courage to stand strong ... step up into what God is whispering into your heart ... the faith to believe anything is possible. 

Be blessed and be a blessing

Preparations ...

 This is the beginnings of my new task ... Giant Paper Flowers will be blooming on my next market stall ... I am hoping they will bring some color and cheer to my stand.

BUT OH THE RESISTANCE ...

My feet have been stuck in the mud ... For the last 4 weeks my kitchen table has looked like this ... I really do need to get a move on FAST ... be more productive.

Every time my brain goes into action my feet drag behind ...

But only 4 weeks to Market Day!

I hope my flowers will be a blessing to many and pass on some Love.


May everyone that feels resistance to Fabulous Ideas keep pushing through and succeed.


Be Blessed and be a Blessing

... My Gift

At times when I feel a bit stale, all it takes is something new and fresh to give me a boost.

This year at Colour Conference in Sydney I received a beautiful gift ... 

A New Testament Message Bible.

After conference it sat on my shelf for months until a few weeks ago when I began reading it.  I have decided to read it cover to cover.  I love the everyday language of the message ... it makes me smile and brings the pages alive.  Thanks God!  I still cant quite let go of my NIV Study Bible yet but the breath of fresh air that the Message Bible has bought to God's Word for me, is very exciting.

I certainly do hope that God's Word is alive and active in your life too. 
Check out the Message Bible ... you might get a nice surprise ... and many smiles.

Be Blessed in all you do and read

God Surprises ...

 Today I went out my front gate and saw a tiny God Surprise ... In amongst the sower-sobs (weeds) ... a purple Violet flower greeted me to say good morning ... What a nice surprise.

What I have learnt in June ...

God has been talking to me hard and fast in June ... So here are a few things I have learned.

• Life moves very fast !
• I keep promising God to spend more time in His courts but never quite get there ... To do this I need to turn off the TV.
• God keeps His promises.
• Learning something new can be uncomfortable ... God is growing and stretching me in my new job ... Stepping me up ... Some days I feel my age and some days I feel like a panicked teenager lost for words.  The day will come when I will feel more comfortable in these new shoes.
• I need to express my creativity more ... Do more Collage Art.
• Gratitude for finding a creative Christian community that are supportive and encouraging.
• A real sense of peace since I have moved back to Adelaide ... Whole heartedness ... Well being ... A renewed sense of purpose ... I am home.

Sharing God's Love is part of who I am. 

Doing that through my Postcards and Art is what He has called me to do.

God is Amazing!

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing.

I have linked back this blog post to Chatting at the Sky ... That's where the idea came from to post what I have learned in June ... Thanks for being so inspiring.

June Blessings ...

Hello Everyone ...

I may have been missing from my blog the past few months ... but all for good reasons ... since moving back to Adelaide, I have under estimated the busy busy that comes of being back with family and old friends.

I feel so blessed by the Love of familiar faces and blossoming work opportunities.

Oh ... How God is working in my Life!

My life has just exploded in goodness and newness and learning.

So many things on my To Do List ... to name just a few ... I have started selling children name cards and need to add them to my Etsy site ... so hopefully in the next few weeks I will add them.
Next weekend I am participating in Eaglemount's LIFEWORX ARTFEST ... showing postcards and collages.

But through all of this one verse resounds in my mind ...

“Be still, and know that I am God; 

I will be exalted among the nations, 

I will be exalted in the earth.”

Psalm 46:10

My God knows the plans he has for me ... and I am living in those days.

Thanks God!

May you all seek and find God working in your life everyday.

Be blessed and be a blessing
