Consume this heart again...

Time to work in a little warmth into our treasury routine! We choose deep orange-reds, mellow golds, and vibrant orange shades as our color palette today, and found it coordinated well with "Set a Fire" by Building 429. Naturally, the opportunity to use a brand-new song from an album that promises to become a favorite was too much to resist - we had to use it.

'Set a fire in me....' by HandiworkinGirls

I want a faith that's so alive
That it can be seen
I want a hope that cannot hide
Even when I'm weak
I want a love that speaks the truth
Of what I believe
I want You
You're all I need

Set a fire in me
Bring me to my knees
Like a rushing wind
Consume this heart again
Set a fire

Forgetting what the world has told me...

To counter the bold rainbow-theme of our previous treasury, we chose to work with earthy shades in our newest collection. Olive green, cocoa brown, and dusty aqua repeatedly popped up together as we browsed the CAST team's offerings. The fore-mentioned color scheme paired well with the resonating lyrics of "You Can Have Me" by Sidewalk Prophets. Now what will we find for our next treasury?

'You Can Have Me...' by HandiworkinGirls

If I saw You on the street
And You said come and follow me
But I had to give up everything
All I once held dear and all of my dreams

Would I love You enough to let go
Or would my love run dry
When You asked for my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

Fuchsia meets camo...

Fuchsia-lined ACU Gift Bags

The other ten of the twenty girl-colored ACU gift bags we sewed for the Army-themed birthday bash were lined with fuchsia pink flannel. It's a pretty shade - vibrant, feminine, and eye-catching - and paired well with the variety of pink and white buttons we had in our button jars. Our favorite feature, though, is the topstitching. Introducing the lining color to the bags' tabs and tops with our topstitching gives an extra dash of stylish pink to the otherwise earthy-colored camouflage, and allows the bags to retain their crisp shape even with repeated use. (It simplifies ironing them for photos, too!)

You have redeemed us...

We have not made a rainbow treasury for a few weeks, so we decided it was high time to play around with everyone's favorite color scheme. This time around, we chose sun-drenched shades of turquoise, grass green, and bright yellow, along with hints of pink and orange. The perfect song to listen to while viewing our bursts of color is Jeremy Camp's "Come Alive" from his latest album Reckless.

'Come Alive' by HandiworkinGirls

As I watch the world being held captive by dreams
That will never be fulfilled in this life,
Chasing the darkness and everything that surrounds
All the emptiness buried inside,
Well I won't stop showing this hope that is holding

The passion so deep in my heart,
To tell all the world of Your love and affection
And the plan that You've had from the start,
So I will continue to fight

'Til the world comes alive
'Til the world comes alive
Cause You have restored us
And You have redeemed us
And we have been given new life
Cause You are alive
