The farmhouse is really getting close! We had the concrete extras poured last week. The biggest addition is the driveway up to the garage. We made this so it will double as a basketball court! There is a wire grid underneath the concrete to strengthen it. They...
We celebrated Jenna's birthday with this beautiful cake. Jenna is from Oregon so we wanted to give her a little taste of home with this almond vanilla cake with Oregon triple berry filling. Of course I am on the go so I was looking for easy and tasty! I used two...
Cabinets are one of the most seen and used items in your house. I think they really set the tone of the room they are in. Cabinets are an endless list of choices. The color is the first thing we think of, which is a big decision. The color in the kitchen is...
Color is one decision I've never had trouble making. I am a very visual person. That's how I learn best. I like capturing a moment on film. I like to wear lots of color. I arrange my clothes in my closet by color. The house I live in now is full of color. I love...
The metal roof is one of the design elements from the very beginning of this project that Gary and I both wanted to do! Gary doesn't get to involved in the designing of the farmhouse but this was his baby all the way! My contractor and I kept bantering around the...
Well when you get the drywall put up on those bones the house really starts to become a home!! It is so amazing how much it changes the house. Once the drywall is up and you can't see through the walls any longer it finally gives you the opportunity to really feel...
Once upon a time in a land not too far away, way down in Texas lived two gypsies that you could even watch on TV! They blogged and they made clothes, and made lots of things, and even inspired some style into Sierra Rae! Okay so I’m not Mother Goose, but there had to...
Well the farmhouse turned pink overnight! Yes......Pink! So I thought that was great fun that the insulation is a very bright pink! Who designed it that color anyway? Was it a working man that loves cotton candy? Or a cute working woman who loves to throw a little...
The Big Tin Cotton Gin Vintage Market is the most wonderful understated market that I have been to! I was fortunate enough to be invited to come and blog about the market and what a special invite that was! Pam Vowell is the owner of the cotton gin. She is a warm,...

My daughter Whitney picked up some scrap wood from the farmhouse and made this beautiful reindeer sign. It was very easy to put together. She picked up three pieces of wood and used wood glue to hold them together. Then she chalked painted the wood white and sanded...
It is getting busy inside the walls of the farmhouse! The HVAC people have been in putting in all the duct work for the air conditioning and heating. I kept repeating to the guys.....I don't want to be hot!.....are you sure there is enough cooling power? They kept...
The Big Beams are up! Wow! They were awesome just sitting on the ground and now I love them even more up in the farmhouse! They were such a work of art by the framers. These guys cut these big beams just the right size, sanded the edges and hoisted them up 20 feet...
Windows! Windows! Windows! I just love windows! I believe I have 46 windows all together in the farmhouse. The architect loved windows also, so I even have a window in the laundry room. Actually many of my big windows have their own little windows above them. My...
What a wonderful day we had blessing the farmhouse with scripture and love! The weather was just perfect! Inside the house and outside on the patios was just right! It was so much fun to see people as they chose which room they wanted to write in. I have loved...
We had a wonderful opportunity to bless Heather Chambers recently at our Women at the Well bible study. Heather is a sweet stay at home mom who home schools her two children. She is a task master when it comes to learning and creating with the kids! Her husband is...
My crazy life showed up the same morning as the trusses. I was so proud of myself that I showed up at the farmhouse at 6:15am and the crane showed up at 6:30am. The most unusual part of that, was being up, dressed (not well), and someplace at that time of the...

We had such a fun time at Rocker 7 Farm Patch! The kids loved the petting zoo! Cooper was a tad bit afraid of the big spotted pig that wanted to sniff his toes! Grady loved herding the goats through their little red house and Lucas was just happy to be there! The...
It's hard to believe but all the outside walls are up! The last wall to be put up was the big north wall that has three sets of french doors out to the patio. It has a huge header beam and was a big wall to go up! The farmhouse is really taking shape now. I am...
