We decided to go check out some gingerbread houses. I haven’t started making my gingerbread houses yet but I am always up for ideas out there. It’s so much fun making them yourself. I make super tiny ones and my traditional sized house. This year I might make a smaller version then the regular sized…
Christmas craft kits to make and give out.
We make seasonal kits to give out for free around our community. This is a great way to encourage others to do something with their hands and to keep that creative mind growing, especially those little ones. If you make kits to give out, make sure the kits are very simple and easy to understand….
My 2025 Vintage Christmas ornament Haul.
Here we go again…my little wooden ornaments obsession. Now I am in a whole new part of my country to shop for these wooden treasures. I was having a hard time finding some at the beginning of the year. I hardly found any at a huge Pickin event, and the antique stores I went into…
Happy December everyone.
Well, it’s here, our favorite month, at least for me that is. Maybe my husband and children like another month better, but I love December and April the most. They have always been my favorite months. I would have my greatest gifts of all that were given to me…my children. My daughter was born in…
Prayer request please.
Something really bad happened here in our country with two young people starting out their lives. They were attacked the day before Thanksgiving. My family and I were on the road when this happened and the next day when I woke up I heard the news and was saddened and shocked to hear what had…

Christmas is my favorite time of year, and Easter…what special times they both are. We try to stick with a more traditional type of Christmas. Not really focusing on the material side…

Adding lights to the historic home.
We had all the electric replaced through out the whole home we are renovating. This will be the first year we are able to have some little lights out for Christmas. Now people driving through the historic district can see that this old house is slowly coming back to life. Being as it is just…
Back to the Fiber Fest.
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year. When I heard they were having another Fiber festival I had to go once again to load up on my needle felting supplies. This year I bought some needles too, not just the wool. We met some really nice people again, new artists and new farmers. One…
