Spring seemed like it dragged on for so long this year. The end of school felt a tiny bit anti-climatic so that I've barely realized yet that it IS summer. The weather hasn't helped either to be honest - cool and rainy. I'm still wearing sweaters and slippers. Anyway, it just dawned on me that …

Friday File 84
In spite of the rough start to the summer with my car accident we had a good summer. My arm is healed now although I think I will always have some scarring. Thankfully it no longer looks like the VW logo. We stayed at home this summer just making one short trip to the States …
Friday File 81
This has been a big week craft wise. I cautiously went back to knitting - at first. Then I went at it frantically to finish a hooded scarf I started for my daughter before she went with her siblings to a church snow camp. I finished it just a couple of hours before she left. …
Friday File 74
Uggh. I woke up feeling sick with whatever it is that's going around our house - headache, fatigue and just general achiness. I pushed through my chore list as long as possible but finally had to go to bed. Now it's almost bedtime, and I'm starting to feel better so I'm going to try to …
Friday File 66
No pictures from the home front this week. We had a busy beginning to our week because we were getting ready to go camping. We've left the three oldest at home this time, but by the time you read this we'll be happily camping with the rest of our children. My husband and I have …
A New Kind of Fun – Bullet Journalling
Last month I discovered a new way to journal. It's called Bullet Journaling. I think I saw a post about it come up in my Pinterest feed, and it caught my interest. I read the post and was sold. For a very detailed explanation of what is involved in Bullet Journaling go to this website. …
Friday File 51
I'm still addicted to knitting socks. I'm on my seventh pair! These are my smallest pair yet because they're for my four year old. Here's a couple of pictures. The brown pair is my husband's, the tweed pair is my dad's. Now on to what I found interesting this week on the internet. This post …
Hidden Art – What is Hidden Art?
I would define 'Hidden Art' as the art which is found in the 'minor' areas of life. By 'minor' I mean what is involved in the 'everyday' of anyone's life, rather than his career or profession. Each person, I believe, has some talent which is unfulfilled in some 'hidden area' of his being, and which …
Friday File 45
In many ways this has been a long, difficult week. It started with a sore throat Sunday night. For days I've been dosing myself with colloidal silver, oil of oregano, ibuprofen and lots of hot, hot tea. I think I'm finally back to normal. Then there were plumbing issues which left us without water most …
Hidden Art – The First Artist
I've been enjoying re-reading Hidden Art by Edith Schaeffer in preparation for doing this series based on her book. In the first chapter Mrs. Schaeffer really takes the time to establish that God is the original Artist. God could have created a utilitarian world that just met our needs. However, He created a world of …
