I just had to share this picture of the loves of my life :)
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 :)

My new sign
My dad does construction for work... and with that he comes upon lots of demolition of porches, closets, kitchens and baths. Well I would probably barf if i had an idea of the kinds of things he has hauled to the junk yard.... for ex... old porch posts... cabinets... and knottty pine boards. He just DOESNT think about saving any of it. SO i told him to save pine boards... this one was a closet shelf! but it was nice and big... so I whipped up this sign the other day while my lil boy was napping... hope you can see my lil pine branch painting in the corner???Redo bowl
THis is how my ugly halloween bowl redo turned out..much better than I thought it would! I scratched it up really good and beat on it for awhile... painted it all black and then dry brushed it a cream color... stained it and it actually looks OLD! hooray! :)
I like my honkin jingle bell in there with some real greens...I had to wear ugly Christmas attire to get it for half off! SO i got two:)
