Our Hillcrest Homestead

Hi my Prims,
I just want to let you all know how much it means to my husband and I for all the prayers for my FIL. I read every comment to my husband that you all left and it meant so much to him you will NEVER know.
My FIL is doing much better and I care for him everyday. A nurse does come in and makes him walk(with his walker) and do leg lifts etc.

Now I want to show you some things that I was able to get done here at our homestead and to let you know how much our homestead means to us.We bought this house 20 yrs ago and made it into our home.We feel our home is warm, cozy and welcoming. It is our sanctuary.
Until we move to Cobsy, Tenn., and we can't wait. There will be a lot of furniture that I will be buying just for our new homestead in Tenn. It is about 6 yrs off but time does fly by!

Here are some pictures of some things I was able to get done........................

I put this picture of the boy here and I painted the shelf and night stand black and it just came all together.

This is in our living room and the next picture is a tin punch lamp that I bought and I hung it here..

I think I am going to my hubby hang it up a little higher.

Here is my basket that I just adore, I have a few more but I need to buy new greens for them and they are in different sizes and colors.

Do you see my lamb in his basket? I love him!

I LOVE to collect wooden bowls, firkins, rolling pins spoons, baskets, jugs, salt glazed jugs,lights,old mixing yellow ware bowls and some are in different colors. I could go on and on but you get it, I collect anything and everything and it always finds a home. My newest collection is old wooden buckets. I will show you my first one that I bought before my FIL got sick. What do you all love to collect??

Here are some pictures of the snow. We already got 12 inches and we are getting more today about 8 to 12 more inches.......YUCK! I can not wait for Spring and to hear the birds singing and being out in my yard and planting. I really didn't do much last summer but this summer I am going all out!

The snow was so heavy it smashed our bushes but they always pop right back up when the snow melts!

I hope all of my blogging friends stay safe and warm and cozy in your homes. Please don't go out if you don't have too.

I also want to let you know that everyone of you that commented about my FIL, you ALL have a special place in my heart.

With that said lets THINK SPRING girls  ............. THINK SPRING!!!!

I also want to let you know that I will be doing a give away. I have not done one in a VERY long time. It is my way to thank you all for reading and commenting on my little blog and your comments mean so very much to me.

Prim Blessings and Hugs,

Home Sweet Homestead

Hi my Prims,
I had some time to change up a few things in our homestead. I have a lot more to do when I get the time, but here are a few things that I did change up.I hope you enjoy this post.

If you see on the top picture I added the hearts after I took this second picture but I wanted to still post this pic.

Now some changes in our living room.........

I added some of my pewter to our mantle.........

Next is some red ware pieces that my hubby and I found REALLY cheap before my FIL got very sick and I just put them out with my red ware collection....

Those 2 red ware pieces you see are 2 new ones....

The small one near the big red ware vase is another new piece and the vase can be made into a red ware lamp but for know it is up there until we can get to it........

Here is some more pewter. I still HAVE A LOT MORE TO DO and PAINT!!!!!!!!!

My favorite piece it is very old and we LOVE it!!!!!!

My NEW/OLD lamp and then we went out and bought a shade for it.

So there you go. Like I said I have A LOT more to do.

I also wanted to THANK everyone that commented on my last post for "praying for my FIL"

The night before he fell and cut his leg and hit his head so it has been hard on him more than anyone but we don't think he will be able to drive anymore so a lot of this is going to fall on us but that is what we do for our folks. I took care of my MIL for 4 yrs. until she passed away and I will do the same for my FIL.

Everyone of you that commented and that is praying for my hubby's Dad you all mean so much to me. I read some of the comments and I did tear up. They were heart felt and my husband and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. I knew I could depend on my blogging friends.

God Bless.

Warm Hugs and I have a lot more to show you of our homestead when I have time to get things done. I did paint some pieces black that are in our bedroom and I will be posting that on my next post. I did that before my FIL add his stroke and then a week later he was in the hospital again with the gall bladder. It has been CRAZY to say the least.

When my hubby and I come in our home it is so relaxing and warm to us. There is no place like home!

Prim Blessings Friends,
