Wednesday is WonderFULL...FULL of Grace!

Sean has finished his Mary.  Amazing to watch my husband create....And even more fun to see the progress.  The Coca Cola bottle is in Spanish, the rays are cut out of soda cans and the gown is fabric that was gifted to me by Char. Sean hemmed the entire border of the gown then placed a wire in it to enhance flowing and then painted gold. 


Sean is creating the Coca Cola crate from scratch.  Here he is carving out the lettering for Coca Cola from blue tape.  He then paints it white and when dry peels away the tape. VOILA!


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  The small coin on the bottom is still being worked in to the piece.  Noah and I love to visit a local coin shop and learn the stories and history behind coins and minting the money.  Believe it or not....This is a Coca Cola coin from Paraguay. YEP, GODWINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And while Sean was crafting I was "making fabric" for a little doll quilt.  I visited Victoria's blog at Bumblebeans yesterday morning and was inspired all over again to dig into the stash and make a wonky little border...I love these little pieces because Roxy and I can practice and practice some more!

May your Wednesday be FULL of comfort......And........

Love, Em

Sorry Em, I sent the email before I checked the blog.
What an awesome job and the robe is perfect! I'm sure the new owner will love it. It's so creative.
