Our beagle refused to stay out of the photo. I love the wooden handles on the push mowers, with their faint typography.   {Read More}

I know, I know,I keep doing knock-off projects from Antique Farmhouse, but I just keep finding so many I like. I do have some knock-offs from other companies that I will be  showing in the future though, I promise. I love the look of this metal wall frame Antique Farmhouse sold for $22 (sold out).  I kept this image in my idea file,  but honestly couldn’t figure out how I was going to come up with something similar, since I’ve never seen {Read More}

King David wrote this psalm after being confronted by Nathan the prophet about his sin with Bathsheba.  David confesses his sin to God and asks for forgiveness.  He also asks that God renew a “steadfast” spirit within him.  Steadfast –  1. Fixed or unchanging; steady. 2. Firmly loyal or constant; unswerving Though David’s sin was great, God’s forgiveness is greater. And though we don’t want to lessen the seriousness of David’s sin or the consequences that came from this sin, it is {Read More}

Have you seen shelves made out of books on Pinterest? I have and loved the idea, so I created my own recently. It’s just the right size to  hold a few small pieces, andcreate a little vignette on. I’d like to make a few more variations of these shelves, because they are fun  & easy to make out of battered, old books and it doesn’t take long to do. I screwed a shelf bracket to the bottom of the largest {Read More}
