~Frugality~

 I have done some frugal projects around the house! They were really fun and cost pennies.  My favorite!


With the kids help I painted this book shelf. I made this paint from a couple gallons I had on had.  I think it really brightened up this corner. 



This is a shelf in our bedroom that stores my fabric, scarves, purses, and Moses' clothes.  It's all in baskets but can still look untidy. I made this curtain from a tablecloth I bought for $.50 and I already had the rod. 





I painted the back door (and the front door) with the same paint as the shelf. I made this curtain from a different tablecloth that also cost $.50! The curtain rod it made from a branch we found. You can a lot with branches. :)  **Felicity helped paint the front door, thanks girl!! **






I made this planter from an empty coconut oil container. I sewed the cover with fabric I had on hand. I also already owned the plant. :) 

I love little nesting projects like these! Using what I have and making do can be a lot of fun, it's like a challenge.

Slippers For Felicity~

 


Guns and Yarn

                              They work on target practice and I work on a hat for Boaz. Win win. 



Animal Arrangement :)


Moses arranged his animals the other day and I thought it was so sweet I took a picture. Three years olds are so cool! 




 

Boaz turns 11!!

Athansius made this awesome birthday cake for Boaz! The cake was vanilla and the frosting chocolate with crushed oreos. :) 



                                        Grandpa Max gave Boaz a BB gun...I think he likes it! 



We visited the park before it got too hot...but it was still really hot.  I dont think the kids cared.




                                               Boaz and I his last night as a 10 year old!!

~Good Friends~

 We were blessed to visit with dear friends this weekend! We miss them so much and wish they would move back...but, that's probably not going to happen. :)
