Advent Calendar
I have gone through several ideas for advent calendars. When I was a kid we had a felt calendar that hung on the wall. It had pockets and my mom would put candies in them. My brother and I got to pick our candy out each day as we counted down to Christmas Day. Fun! […]
Watercolor Walls
We’ve been in our house for two years now. The room that the girls share is a nice size so they all three fit great in there together, but it needed a paint job…badly! I love the way Waldorf schools paint their walls. They use the Lazure technique, which looks amazing!
{Master Bedroom Redo} Step 3 – The White
This week has been filled with the joys of painting…but also with a stomach virus in our house. The room had been kind of put on standby for a few days, but now we are back on track! Of course I gratefully accepted help from my brilliant little butterflies who happily threw on Daddy’s t-shirts […]
Gifts for the Mamas
This week, we’ve spent some time making gifts for my mother and for Scott’s. The girls helped me with cards and things. I spent some time with some canvas and paint, making a gift for Scott’s mama. Our mothers are so very special. They are both amazing grandmothers to our children and I’m so happy […]
Happy Grandparents Day!
While many people feel like this is just a “holiday” rather than a holiday, I have a profound respect for the wonderful grandparents that my children have and the active roles they play in their lives. Our girls are certainly blessed to have kind and loving grandparents who would, without a doubt, do anything for […]
In the Works!
I think most of us are usually in the middle of a dozen projects and things, just waiting for the right moment for completion. I am such a person. At this very moment, I am working on two Sunday School crafts. We are learning about David and Goliath. Tomorrow my kiddos will be throwing water […]
Masterpieces
Serving Tray Makeover
Well, you know how I love thrifting…and I found something super fun, although it needed a little love, Christy style. I mean, this is nice and very reminiscent of Florida, but it needed a little fixing up.
A Day in the Life of the Ferguson Family
Each morning begins the same. I awake to a child “whispering” in my ear or to the wakeful sounds of a hungry Laelia. There are usually four people in our queen sized bed, but sometimes a fifth person sneaks in there too. Although it’s cramped and sometimes there is a complaint or two about who […]
{Toadstools} another fun, easy-to-make gift for the kids
This was one of the more fun little things that I’ve made recently and so super cute! As I posted a few days ago, I am trying to center a lot of the toys in our playroom around the tree house that Scott and his dad made for the girls a few years ago. So, one of […]
