New Creations!

So what do you do if certain items don't sale?  You either chuck them out or you find a way to reuse them or recreate them.  I've decided to not chuck out my prayer flags/spirit flags and recreate them.

I came up with the idea of prayer cloths.  But I didn't want plain ones because that is what I already had.  Instead I am going to add scriptures or prayers embroidered on my little flags.  I want these to be blessings and encouragement to others.  They maybe for the buyer or given away.  The idea if this is to encourage those who are sick or just need up lifting.  After all who doesn't need a little encouragement now and then?

My first attempt is above and the script is not as clear as I would like and the table my machine was on shakes too much to a straight line.  So I moved around my tables and machines and found a desk and put on my embroidery machine.  Below is the second one and the new table/desk and different font and words.  Below is the serenity prayer.   I hope this new idea is catchy and will inspire people to buy and share with others.  After all I want to be a blessing into others lives and this is my way of doing this.

Just recently finished a custom order for a zebra print apron. Many customers have such creative ideas and good suggestions I thought I'd share some of them with you.

Finger Flags

My new inspiration is finger flags.  This personal flag could have many names: finger flag, dance scarf, worship flag, prayer flag, etc.  The main point is that this flag was created as form of worship to our Lord.  When you wave a flag in the air its a form of expression, whether its victory, surrender or conquer, it is a form of expression.

In this world there is good and evil and heaven and hell.  There is God and Satan.  Everything God created Satan has a counterfeit.  God created us to worship him and him alone.  The problem came when Satan wanted to be God and wanted to be worshipped.  Because there is only one God, Satan could not have the divine role of ruler of all of creation and the heavens.  So Satan was expelled to the earth to rule it and lead others astray and to follow him instead of God.

Now because Satan is the ruler of the atmosphere we are at war with him to live justly and righteously free from sin.  But of course Satan doesn't like this so the battle is on as to who will gain the people's souls of this world.

This is why we are at war with him and must fight to stay free from him and free from sin and death.  As soliders of the cross we must raise our weapons of warfare and fight the enemy.  We raise our swords- the word of God, we raise our shields of faith and raise our flags of war against our enemy.

In the bible the words banners, flags, and standards are used interchangeably.
STANDARD: Hebrew word: Degal #1714 daw-gal' to flaunt, a flag, banner, standard.  Be conspicuous, chiefest.

BANNER: #5251 Nace: a flag, a signal, sign, standard. From #524 to gleam from afar. to be conspicuous as a signal to raise up a banner.

Heb./Greek dictionary:  A banner used at the top of a pole to mark a rallying point in battle or to serve as an emblem.

*Num. 2:2  The Isrealites each camped with a standard under a banner.
*As we raise our standards and banners we are...awesome as an army with banners.  SS.6:4
*Proclaim and lift up a standard proclaim and do not conceal it.  Jer.50:2
*We do not wrestle with flesh and blood but against principalities and rulers of darkness.  Eph. 6:12 *And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:  Ex. 17:15

           Jehovahnissi- Jehovah/God is our banner, or God is our flag!

As you see I have many colors available because God loves colors and each color has different meanings and are mentioned as such when the temples were built and when God expressed how the priests were to be dressed too.

Here are some of the meanings of various colors.
COLORS AND THEIR MEANINGS:

RED: love, war, passion, blood, fire
WINE: mercy, blessing
PINK: hope, love, passion, glory
FUSHIA (hot pink): joy, love, compassion, boldness

YELLOW: joy, celebration, healing
ORANGE: praise, harvest, fire, passion

Light BLUE: peace, heaven, heavenlies
Medium BLUE: life, healing, water, faith, trust,loyality
Dark BLUE: truth, grace
TURQUOISE: healing, river, life

GREEN: prosperity, growth, life

PURPLE: royality, strength, power, victory
LAVENDER: grace

WHITE: purity, perfection, righteousness,hope, peace
IVORY: beauty, angel wings

SILVER/gray: redemption, wisdom
GOLD: glory, mercy

I hope this clarifies things for those of you who do not understand the use of flags in the church or in our prayer time at home.

Be at peace and go with God!

New Project

I have a new custom order from my Zumba instructor to make finger flags. This project will be for 30 finger flags in various colors to use while dancing in our Zumba class. This cute little flags can be used also by children to dance around the house, at church or where ever. They are the perfect size to fit in your purse to use where ever. They are the size of a hankie, 10 X10 and have a loop for your finger so you can wave it. For those who attend church will the freedom to worship they can be used at church. After I finish the project I will be including some in my shop.
