✨DIY Fall Decor Love 🎃🍂🍁✨

✨Really had fun making these 🎃 Something new! Bought some styrofoam pumpkins and stuck some faux fall foliage inside of them . Pretty sweet and simple 🧡 I knew my dining table needed some nice center pieces and as I’m looking in the stores for one I kept thinking, hmmm, I should make it and get back to some creative roots. Just a little start with these two! 🍁🎃 (Halloween Quilt Table Topper made by my Mom btw ❤️) ✨

✨Happy Fall Ya’ll! 🧡✨

(Just in reference to a name change with my IG art account ✌🏼)

✨Hello Friends! Long time since I’ve popped up here! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
BTW, Positive HEART Mama has arrived and in a season of mindful perseverance 👣✨

✨Sooooo I can just change my account name? Absolutely yes! Does it mean I’ve stopped creating jewelry pieces, macrame and have now ended my creative journey if this account is no longer called “Positive Art Mama?” Absolutely not! Is GOD 👣showing me the way to make great changes as I continue this journey of juggling motherhood, life and striving for healthy living to be the best me possible. HE is showing me the way every day in every way. YES🙏🏼💛

✨However, it is true I almost left out the “positive” word because in our wonders, fears and push through transition we must “persevere” into our “purpose” which is most important . We aren’t always positive, we don’t always feel like pushing through change, BUT the beauty of change is what we learn about ourselves in HOW we persevere. Positivity can develop when we open our HEART and diminish when we close it. It thrives when we learn to embrace every struggle and genuinely appreciate the rainbows that shine through the storms. When we love and embrace every season of life GOD takes us through great things can manifest 🙏🏼

✨ A little healthy, creative space is what this account is for. Come join me in this journey if you feel the same… or not 😊 It’s full of faith, HEART and preserving through good days and bad 🦋✨

✨Welcome! 💛 ..and hope everyone’s having a great summer ☀️✌🏼. ✨

✨So much love ❤️🧵🪡✨✨

✨Mom took our pics in the hats she made us , pretty sweet! 🎁This day I loved… it was Black Friday and we went out shopping early for fabrics because we finally got our first sewing machine! She has gifted many sewing machines to the girls of our family. It’s just our thing, like family legacy ❤️🙏🏼 BUT now we just need to really learn how to use them! 😆 ✨

✨We started with pillowcases and some patches…starting simple because the sewing craft really takes a lot of time and patience. Not the easiest this time of year with the holidays, full plates and full on Mom mode… but we’ll see what we whip up next year and stay optimistic some beautiful things will be made with our new gift in the future ❤️🧵🪡✨

✨Thank you again!! ❤️❤️❤️ We are so grateful for you ✨

✨This mama was an Honorary Teacher for the Day for BPES’s TEACH -IN .😊🏫🍎✨

✨Absolutely loved going into my daughter’s 3rd grade class (plus another class 😊) yesterday to teach the kids about all of the different components I’ve learned through the years with my art biz “Bella Knots and Beads,” …went back to the very beginning ! ❤️ Talked about drive, enthusiasm for creativity , purpose, overcoming challenges, work ethic and the importance of creative self expression. Homemade quilts, blankets and goodies were shown to them too 🎨So fun! It felt so great giving them some inspiration and they were great listeners ❤️✨

✨Today I’m gifting some bracelets to the class for those that wanted some ❤️The joy of giving back is by far the best part of the whole thing. When you give you receive 🙏🏼✨

✨Also, taught basic macrame knotting and brought back some teachings of acrylic paint pouring. Gotta do these again! The kids really inspired me too ❤️ ✨

✨Really hope to do this again someday 🙏🏼So awesome that the schools give parents this opportunity to make a difference 🍎✨

✨Macrame Volley Net 🏐✨

✨So recently I helped participate in some decorating for Bella’s “Rock Your School” …Sports theme! The school looked amazing and 3rd Graders had Volleyball so I came up with making a V-BALL NET 🏐Spontaneously took on the challenge and believe me, this is not something I ever thought I’d make in all my years, but had the vision…AND the kids actually played Volleyball with it 😊SCORE!✨

✨Now I think I’m going to turn it into a Halloween Decoration…a spider web 😆Thanks for the idea!.bakes.it.sweet 🕸🙌🏼
