This picture is a bit fuzzy from some
reason... but its my lil snowman
stitchery I stitched a few years ago.
A wreath I put together one year.
Another thrift store mini tree
with candles. I quilted the mini
quilt and appliqued on the wool
candy canes.
This sled I bought at a flea market for 10 bucks!
I just gave it a bit of Christmas flare. Its sitting outside our side door.
Yet ANOTHER tree!
I think I have 9 total this year! haha
I made the wood ornaments which
display words or attributes of Christ.
I just plopped this one into a old crock
and sat it up on a antique stool I stained.
Grown by Grace farm is the name of our 14 acre homestead in Iowa. We came up with this name as it is our desire to grow by God's grace here, whether it be our babies, 4 kitties and a woof, crops, or gardens! Jon and I are both born again christians, which means we have a "new life" in Jesus Christ as we recognize Him as Savior of our sins, by His death and resurrection from the cross. I hope to use this blog to share with you some of the Lords blessings on our lil' country life here :)

Primitive Christmas
My husband was sitting in our dining room a week or so ago and commented on how nice the decorations looked. I took advantage of his bit of interest and bragged about how 80% of it is handmade or from a thrift store! I dont think that surprised him at all... infact he teases me for my "frugality." I just remind him how lucky he is to have a wife that saves him $$! :) So I posted these pics to share with you as well...
Above: My kitchen window buddy in a bowl.
I sewed him out of cream chenille &
added stick arms and a plaid scarf.
His nose is orange craft clay that I molded
and baked to look like a carrot.
My kitchen shelf displays a great goodwill
find... the green clock. It even opens up and works!
I think I got it for 4 or 5 $ if I remember right.
Can you believe I found this snowman family
at the goodwill? The light even flickers. One of
my favorite thrift treasures... I consider them little
blessings from God! :)
Another primitive tree from GW! I did buy the
beeswax candles at a prim shop.
My 3 footer Christmas tree. I made about
half the ornaments. The tree was another GW find.. but it sheds alot.. but I loved the "scraggly" branches.
