This morning we received the sad news that a close family friend had unexpectedly passed in his sleep. I don’t think anything prepares you to deal with someone passing, especially when it’s so sudden. There is such a heavy and sad feeling that follows and our hearts ache for his family. Sometimes the world and occurrences in life make you feel hopeless, but we have an amazing God that reminds us that during times of trouble and heartache, He is there to hold us and see us through the storm.
I’m so thankful for this little space that God has provided, where I can share my love for creating and hopefully provide a little space where you can escape, if only for a few minutes.
This month, our DecoArt challenge called for painted ornaments and I’m excited to share a little sneak peek into my color palette this year.
I painted several ornaments using soft pinks, coppers and golds.
Isn’t it pretty? I know these are not your typical Christmas colors and it was a last minute decision that I don’t regret.
I used the same Metallic Rose gold paint I used HERE, mixed with white and some of the Salmon.
I can’t wait to show you the rest of the tree next week.
Thank you so much for stopping by today…I hope you have a beautiful day.
much love,
So sorry about your lost! My craft room is my escape as well. Love your ornaments, you did a wonderful job on them. Love the pinks, copper and golds, they do look nice together.
What a beautiful post that in some way sets the mood of the day for you and your family. Beautiful! laura
Dear Lucy,
How it is wonderful, so plenty of tenderness, so inspiring, so comforting.
I send you, at once, my condelences and my congratulation, from France.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Lucy. May God provide you and yours with peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Oh Lucy, I am sooo sorry to hear of your friend’s sudden passing. May the God of all comfort be with his family and yours through this difficult time, and give you peace.
Your color palette is so lovely and unique. thank you for the idea of the charming painted ornaments! Might have to give it a whirl!!
Love, hugs and prayers, sweetie,
Becky
sorry for your loss. Your hand-painted ornaments are beautiful. I am also doing some similar colors for my tree, I called Champagne Christmas…at least it is the idea. Looking forward to seeing your all tree/room!
Sorry for your loss.
I love the ornaments especially the gold and coral combination.
This is about a year late but I am so sorry for your loss. Can you tell me how you got the crackle appearance. I wish I had the talent for the other paintings. I have been looking for pink. But never thought to paint white bulbs.
I really love this! The designs are so amazingly pretty, I can’t even!! Thank you that you keep on being an inspiration for everyone
The adornment of that letter is a wow, hopefully, my family will take note of it. Thanks to this inspiration, especially for all of us who do not celebrate Christmas but still want to give beautiful gifts to our loved ones. That would be a great addition to someone’s gift package. I think that would be a nice addition to the stockings too.
