o move out yet i told him that he needs to make sure he is ready to move out because once he s gone rooms are being arranged and i will finally have a crafting room again haha if you follow me on pinterest i ve been pinning room ideas like crazy and already organizing my things well i wasn t planning on a family update but might as well finish off with the middle child amariah just turned 16 but she took driver s ed at school which put her behind on getting her license on her actual birthday she ll be getting it next month my babies are growing up anyway crafting and creating has taken a back seat for the past couple of years it has always been my way to relax no wonder i m so uptight lol i rented a booth with a friend at the grapevine in claremore ok last year it was hard to keep up with it though while working part time at the lodge homeschooling football basketball and golf was going on we just pulled out last week but it was a neat place and a fun time this picture was taken when i first moved in my friend wasn t in here yet i m going back to claremore towards the end of summer to get another booth my etsy has taken a break also so i m planning on opening it back up i have seriously missed crafting so very much my dslr camera is broke so i have only been taking pictures with my phone they re decent but it sure is hard to blog without pictures it sure felt good to get back to blogging i have always loved it even when others were leaving to go to facebook i knew i d always be here i might have to take some leaves of absences haha but i will always come back if you still follow me thank you so much for staying with me while i was gone looking forward to getting around to everyone s blog and seeing what you ve been up to these past couple of years i m

tuesday november 11 2014 recovering hey ya ll hope you are enjoying what s left of this fabulous fall it has been a nice enjoyable relaxing one for me thank you from the bottom of my heart for the prayers and well wishes on my surgeries finally getting back to normal kinda still having to slow down and sit down every once in awhile my body is constantly reminding me that it s not that young anymore hehe but god has blessed me with a wonderful family that took amazing care of me and never complained well to my face anyway with this forced relaxation time i have been catching up on my pile of the past 2 year s worth of magazines coming back to blogland and watching a little hgtv sure miss the good ol shows but i do enjoy the property brothers drew and jonathan attended an estate sale down the road from me that i never even realized was there but i found it in the last hour so all of this was originally 40 but with the last hour discount i only had to pay 5 vintage linens old books the dictionary is old yellowed and falling apart but will be perfect for the many book page ideas i have been seeing on pinterest i also picked up an old bible that is ripped and falling apart there are more pages here than i can craft in my lifetime so if anyone is interested in some pages to craft with shoot me an email and i ll gladly share with you berryhomespunprimitives at gmail dot com i m not supposed to be sharing this on social media because of the isis threats that are targeting military and their families darn it why does the world have to be so cruel but i just can t help it i know my god is our protector and he has already won all victories for us we attended my son s basic training graduation during fall break and it was wonderful to watch the ceremonies seeing the soldiers march through clouds of green blue and yellow smoke as they sang their cadences and just spending time with our son since he s been gone for the past 10 weeks here is his graduation picture love this kid so proud of him happy veteran s day and thank you to all who sacrifice their lives to keep ours safe posted by angie berry berry homespun primitives at 4 03 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday august 14 2014 dining room shelf i was able to get a small project done this year i forgot to take a before picture and i just love looking at other s before and afters but here s an in the process photo i bought this nice sturdy wooden shelf at a garage sale for 3 robbie is always my helper no matter what i m doing he finds me and asks to help i let him put the first black coat on since it s going to be painted over a couple more times a close up of the red undercoat followed by another coat of black on top i finished it off with black bri wax and loaded it up with a few prims it s a nice addition to my dining room especially with all the natural wood best of all i love how it only cost me 3 a little paint and an afternoon of fun with my little guy oh and look at the tiny butter mold i found barely 1 1 4 i was so excited it s the little round wood piece on the lower shelf it has an acorn design adorable thank you friends for your prayers and sweet words of encouragement on my last post i m grateful that i can come here to express my feelings and be showered with love when i need it the most i ve been staying busy since ryan left we re cleaning out bedrooms getting ready for a garage sale next month lots of kids clothes and toys to pass on thanks for stopping by wishing you a grand week posted by angie berry berry homespun primitives at 1 23 am 13 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday august 2 2014 my year i ve been a little occupied this year friends and quite honestly i m having a hard time this kid here went and did this in february and this in may so here i sit a crying mess because tuesday morning i send ryan off to ft jackson for boot camp then he will have training to be a chaplain s assistant in the national guard he is my oldest and the first to leave home i ve been on an emotional roller coaster this year so proud of him yet so selfish and want to keep him safe at home what keeps me going though is to see his excitement when he talks about it this kid is ready to do something with his life and this momma is having a rough time with it his influential years at home have come to an end and from here on out i have to trust god that he will watch over ryan and keep him safe i ve heard moms talk about this time in their lives but i never thought i would feel this heartache with there being 2 other kids still at home so if you would ryan and i would appreciate your prayers thank you my friends it probably doesn t help my emotional level that i found out 2 weeks ago that i have an enlarged uterus with fibroids i am scheduled for a hysteroscopy on aug 22 followed by a robotic partial hysterectomy on sept 5 doctor reassured me that it s not cancerous and nothing to worry about enough about me not much going on around the homestead to blog about because i have been wrapped up in my family and our last few months with ryan but i have spent some time outside i went a little petunia crazy this year well i should say amariah did we have pots of red and pots of striped red white in the backyard by the pool she picked these beauties out love the color combination she chose the twilight viola was really pretty this year it looks like pastel pansy something new i tried this year is lantana oh my i love these pretty flowers and beautiful leaves they look so good in the old whiskey barrels wish they were perennial the pink double knock out roses bloomed out beautifully as always along with the single knock out yellow roses oops should have deadheaded and cleaned up around the mulch before the pic hehe i transplanted the hosta to the back yard and must say she is loving her new home look at the lushness of those leaves i just realized all of my flower shots are close and don t show the overall picture but here is one little vignette that will greet you on the front porch i love how the red of the double begonias complements the red and white enamel pot that it s sitting in the cute fence piece was a christmas present from my sweet mother in law i think it s bedtime friends my little mind is an emotional wreck but coming here and putting my thoughts and feelings in writing is good therapy for sure i have not actually talked to anyone about my feelings so this has been good for me thank you for being the best blog friends ever i appreciate you and your prayers i m grateful for the time that i ve had with my son and very thankful that god chose me to raise him sure i can look back at all the if s and where i went wrong but i choose to live in today and try my best from here on out thanks for stopping by friends miss you tons have a delightful week ahead posted by angie berry berry homespun primitives at 11 56 pm 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday january 12 2014 valentine tree well friends i sure wasn t planning on being gone for months and oh how i have missed you all i won t go into details but we had some issues with my youngest son robbie and his elementary school back in august only 9 days into the new school year with rich beside me i went to battle for my child in the end we pulled robbie from public school the same school that my oldest two attended and i am now a homeschool 2nd grade teacher mom yikes so needless to say it has been quite the transition for all of us my oldest two a freshman and senior are still in public school i took my complaints and evidence to the administration i was told that i was in the right as they profusely apologized and was assured that it would be dealt with we ve been around this small town for many years and i know whom to trust i trust that it was most definitely dealt with for those that have been following me for a few years know that i ve had to battle the school in the past on too many numerous occasions we have to stand up for our children we are their only advocate along with this mess we are in full swing of basketball season of which i am the booster club president for 7th 12th grade boys and girls we have around 100 players so there are lots of parents to deal with but we ve been fortunate so far to have no complaining only volunteering thank you lord as we are starting our 4th month of online homeschool i feel that we are finally in a groove i took down the christmas decorations today and not one to leave my year round tree bare i went ahead and added some primitive metal heart ornaments and vintage valentine cards to it i don t know about your area but these cards are pretty cheap around here these were 50 cents to 1 00 these two are really sweet they are dated 1929 it looks like they are to odelia with one being from catherine and one from oneita i like that i m able to display them like they are communicating with each other this is the oldest card i have dated 1926 it actually opens up but there is a piece missing i still love it though these are dated 1929 and 1930 most of these are also to odelia i bought them at the same antique mall but at different times funny that i was able to buy her valentines isn t homemade the best cute little homemade card dated 1927 to odelia from kathern to start the year fresh i emptied my blog reader feedly of the 1000 unread blog posts that i m behind on i was so totally overwhelmed that i didn t know what else to do now i will be able to catch up with you as you have a new blog post i ve missed you terribly i m grateful not so much for this actual blog but for the wonderful sister friends that god has touched and blessed my life with thanks for staying with me i ll be visiting you all between lessons and basketball games have a delightful week posted by angie berry berry homespun primitives at 8 30 pm 22 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday september 10 2013 waxed corn well i tried it and discovered it s not for me i was super excited about it but should have known it would be too dark for my liking i waxed 2 pieces of indian corn and i just hate the way it took away from the natural beauty i m gonna scrape that wax off the whole time i was cutting up the corn i kept thinking how pretty it is and how it s going to be so hard to sell it being the fall lover that i am now i m excited that i ve decided to keep it all lol i gotta tell you about my little man robbie smelled the cinnamon and came into the kitchen to see what i was making he said oooh can i help you he sure loves to help with anything robbie was helping me dip the corn into the wax i told him that i didn t like it all and was disappointed in how it turned out he asked me if i was doing it right ha he ran and got his phone his sister s old phone and googled how to wax corn lol pretty smart thinking for a 7 year old scrolling through the phone looking for an answer he finally gave up and asked me why i wanted it waxed anyway i explained to him that it was primitive looking old looking and i like things that are old and remind me of my grandma the wheels were turning in his little mind you could just see it in his facial expression then he pipes up and said you mean like that one tv show where the guys take old stuff and make it look new again only you take new stuff and make it look old again i love all my kids equally but this one really makes me smile a lot he s always thinking anyway we decided that we liked the indian corn better natural so we got the icicles and started waxing them the good thing is that i will finally have some ready to sell before christmas instead of after this year i ve decided to only sell them by a baker s dozen from now on these have natural twine but the rest will be stained muslin hangers i believe i like that look the best i m really contemplating doing away with etsy mainly because it s such a hassle to keep track of what sells elsewhere and in the meantime pray no one bought it off of etsy making sure to delete it from the shop as soon as possible i created a couple of new pages on my blog and will use this to list my handmades also in lots of selling groups on facebook doing really well there but i m in so many that i forget what i list where lol gotta find a system for tracking anyway that s all that s going on here my mom came to stay with us
