2009 Harvest Is In The Books!

It is with great joy that I post today. Our harvest season is now in the books, which had started many weeks ago. At the early part of September we knew that it was going to be a long one for us, we just didn't know how long. Thankfully we are done and finished up last week. My thoughts and prayers go out to those farm families who are still working on shelling corn. The weather has been quite the challenge this fall for many, including us. Finally things are settling back down and I have been able to get most of my Christmas decorations up both inside and outside as well. After church I plan on getting the little things out and tweaking a little before I will be finally finished. Pictures will be coming in the future of my finished decorations. As you may know Christmas is my favorite holiday and I am very excited and full of happiness and joy when I decorate knowing that we are celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior!


I will leave you this morning with some pictures of what it looked like during our harvest. You will even get to see what it is like to take a ride in the combine! :)





This is what the corn looks like after is goes through the combine and then out the back. Except here it looks like it missed a couple of cornels. Kinda cute huh :)



Ever wanted to know what it was like to stand in the middle of a corn field, where here it is! (lol) You can't even see our barn that is straight ahead next to the tree on the left of the picture!


Here comes my DH down the field again, hopefully this time he will stop and pick me up! hahaha







YEAH! He is going to stop and get me! I love to ride in the combine with him. :)


Well, unfortunately my loving husband is busy and does not turn around for a picture as I climb up in the combine with him, or maybe he doesn't want his picture taken? Hmmm~ He really is such a cutie!!! teeheehee



Well the combine is full now and we need to get it put into the semi truck, so here we go!!! I never get tired of seeing this beautiful yellow corn going into our trucks!





Alright, now this is what it looks like from the inside of our combine. It is just incredible to think that with just a few small seeds, lots of tender love and care and the grace of God that a beautiful crop of corn grows this large and gives so much bounty.





Well the truck is full now! Isn't it amazing!!! Time to go and get another truck to fill and send this one to be dumped in the grain bin to be dried.

So, how did you like your ride? Fun huh!!! As if you can't tell, I love being a farmer's wife and would not change it for the world. It has been something that I have known my whole life that I wanted to be, as well as a mother and be able to raise little ones with the love and respect that their daddy, mommy and grandparents have for the land and their passion for working with God's creation.

May you all have a very blessed day and I will be sure to post more pictures of my Christmas primitives.

Blessings and Perfect Prims,

Stacey

Our Bedroom Makeover

Well prim gals, this is the color that our bedroom WAS, UH HUH! No joke! Talk about wanting to scream everyday. Pink is NOT one of my favorite prim colors. For a little girl, maybe, but then again, I probably wouldn't paint it this color anyway if we ever have a little girl. Okay, I know you are all wondering then why in the world was it painted that color? Was it a little girl's room? Nope. Were you crazy when you painted this room? Nope! Alright, the reason the bedroom was painted this color has to due with my husband's ex-wife and her love of odd colors and style. Let's just say that I have had a lot of work to do around our wonderful farmhouse, and yep, there is still a lot of work to keep me very busy for a very long time to come. She loved what seemed to be crayola crayon colors, as you will see in the future in other rooms in our homestead. This is certainly a little bit much for myself, but that was her and what she liked. So, when my husband came home one day from work, and well, you see what she had done to their bedroom?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!! YIKES!!! was my reaction when I first came to visit Scott when we were starting to date.

Thankfully I finally got the bedroom painted over this past Labor Day weekend. What a relief it has been to actually get excited about decorating it for us and making it reflect our lives now. I will be sharing pictures of our bedroom a little bit at a time, because I took pictures tonight and was not really very happy with them. The new color on the walls seems to be a bit different in each picture, so you will have to stay tuned as I reveal more pictures of our bedroom. I really hope you enjoy the few pictures that I have to share with you now and am looking forward to sharing more with you real soon.

So, what do all of your bedrooms look like? I would love to get some more ideas on how to make our bedroom more prim perfect. Come back again soon as I will have more pictures from the daytime to share with you which will hopefully give you a better picture of the color that I chose for us. Thanks for stopping by.

Blessings and Perfect Prims,
Stacey

I Love My New Tree!!!

For awhile now I have been wanting to get a new grapevine tree, since the two that I have had for about 10 - 15 years were in really bad shape. So, a couple of weeks ago, I took the plunge and got a brand new 6 foot one. I absolutely love it! This tree is made with the larger grapevine and not the smaller kind that was used with the ones that I replaced. They are really bad and so I did not take any pictures of them, but I am certainly going to share my new tree with you. The old ones had holes you could see through and their shape, well, all I can say is, what shape. Alright so here is my new tree, both in the daytime and at night. Enjoy! I know lots of you have them, and one of my favorite things is decorating it often for the seasons, and not to mention I love, love, love lights!!! My dad says that if I put a light on top of our house then people might think it was an airport! (lol) Yeah, that's how much I love lights!!!!!!!

Here it is...







Hope you enjoyed the pics of my new grapevine tree! If you can't tell, I have clear lights on it and orange lights as well. There are 450 clear lights and 250 orange lights! So what do your grapevine trees look like? I will have to post more pics as I change the colors on the tree for Christmas and the winter.

Hope that you have all had a perfect prim and productive day! Thanks for stoppin' by and come back again soon. :)

Blessings and perfect prims,

I Love Autumn!

Yes, I know that it has been a terribly long time since my last post. Uh huh, May 21st, I believe. Well, the only reason or answer that I have as to why it has been so long is that I have been really busy! I know what you are all thinking, aren't' we all Stacey. With me, when I get extremely busy, like I have been for the last several months, the computer and blogging end up on the bottom of my priority list. If you would like to read all about the happenings over these last few months, then I invite you to go over to my reilly farm wife blog and find out. :)

With my apology being given, I hope that you will come back and see me often. Yes, I have had the chance to go and pick up many neat items at the TS, garage sales and auctions. So, in the near future I hope to be able to take pictures of these items and then post them.

Fall is my favorite season for many reasons. First and foremost I love harvest and what farmgirl doesn't like to be on a tractor! Whew how I love, love, love it!!! Second, I love prim decorating and the colors that the season brings. Third, well, it means back to school time again and as a teacher, I can say that, yes, I do get anxiuos around that time too. Well, with that in mind, I thought that after I took about 40 pictures today around the outside of my home that I would share some of them with you. Thankfully the wind has not been too damaging on my things, seeing how it was blowing at 40 miles an hour last night! Without further delay, here are some pictures from around our farmstead. Enjoy!










Happy Fall Y'all!!! I hope that you enjoyed the pictures that I had to share. No, I do not have much done in my home, but I will be sure to post pictures when I get that all finished as well. Usually I am done with putting up Halloween decorations, but this year I am going to be lucky to get up my fall decor by the middle of October. Thanks for stopping by and come back soon. Until next time, have a blessed day!

Perfect prims and blessings,

Stacey

More Garage Sale Goodies!!!

Well prim gals here are the garage sale goodies that I have gotten this year. Just like my post from yesterday, all of these things I am using outside as part of my garden & landscape decorations. Keep in mind the season is still young! I will be searching through our local paper to see if there are any community sales going on this weekend. If I can remember, I think that there is one going on really close, like uptown. Hopefully the radio did not steer me wrong. Oh well, I will just have to check the newspaper out.

Okay, enough of my rambling, here are the goodies...

I just could not resist this Uncle Sam. The moment that I saw him I knew that I had to have him because he was going to be perfect for my white chair on the front porch. He is one of my most favorite finds so far this garage sale season.

This darling single wash basin was actually bought off of a friend of mine. I really could not believe that she was parting with it and so I told her that it was going to be mine. Over the holiday weekend I plan on putting flowers in it. I can hardly wait to get started on it!

This cute ladder also came from the same friend. She used to use it as an end table. However, I am going to be using it outside to put a nice large pot of flowers on. I also think some grapevine would look really cute on it too. What do you think? Yes, my friend and I do a lot of garage sale swapping each year, which is a lot of fun too. :)

One of my favorite things to look for at garage sales would have to be old farm tools. I already have several and am looking forward to getting the chance someday to display them in our breezeway.

Both this little bench and watering can came from my garage sale adventures within these last couple of weeks. I am still deciding where to put this little bench of mine. Hmmm? This may take me a little while to figure it out and will look forward to doing that this beautiful weekend. :)

For now that is all that I have to share of the goodies that I have found to use outside during my excursions this spring. However, I do have things that I have bought to use inside my home, which I will be posting about tomorrow. So, stay tuned... So, did you like what you saw? I know I had a lot of fun finding them and am looking forward to getting them all placed and finished like I want them to look this weekend. On Monday or maybe Tuesday I will have pictures of all the finished goodies. :)

Have a wonderful day my prim pals. May many blessings shine down on you this day.

Blessings and Perfect Prims,

I Love Garage Sales!!!

There are so many things that I love about spring, and one of them is garage sales! Every weekend I have been to one since they really got started back at the beginning of May. Below are a few pictures of items that I got last year when I went to a community garage sale day, actually in the same little town that I found my goodies on my trash pickin' adventure. :)

So, here they are...

I really like this little planter. It is sitting on the right side of my garage. It is a really cute little place to plant my verbena flowers each year.


These old sap buckets are some of my favorite finds. I have put pots of flowers in them each year. It gives the front of my garage a really warm and welcoming feeling. I love, love, love red flowers.


I also bought this large bucket and prim box as well. I will be planting red, white and blue petunias in it like I did last year. Any suggestions for what I should put on the inside of my box? It looks really cute in the front of my home.

Here is another pot and crate that I bought. It too is in the front of my home. I also plan on planting flowers or putting greenery in the pot. What do you think? The rocks are in it right now so that the wind does not blow it away.

This summer I am looking forward to actually landscaping around our home. It has not been done in many, many, many years and is so desperately in need of it.

Hope you like what I found last year. Stop back again tomorrow and see what great finds that I purchased this year for the outside of my home. Coming soon in future posts will be the garage sale bargains that I got for the inside of my home. :)

Blessings and Perfect Prims,

Trash Pickin'

A couple of weeks ago I was driving through a small little town, near our home, on my way from school. This little town is so cute and had just had their community garage sales the weekend before, which of course I went to. On this particular day people were getting rid of things that they did not want anymore and were putting them out to be collected by their township. Pretty much anything goes when this once a year event happens. You can only imagine what people were getting rid of. Let me tell you, I have never trashed picked a day in my life. Yet, I found myself turning around for some treasures that I have put to use as yard decorations. The whole time I told myself, I can't believe I'm doing this! Yep, it was fun. There were lots of other people out doing the same. Well, without further rambling, here are the pictures of the pieces I picked up and loaded my van with. I hope you like them. :)



So, have any of you ladies ever went trash picking before? What have you found if so? After the initial oh my goodness feeling, I think that I may have found a new sport. (hahaha)

Primitive Easter Baskets...

I have been doing a lot of planning and thinking about Easter baskets. Actually making up baskets filled with goodies is one of my favorite things to do. I love Easter, it is one of my 2 favorite holidays. Anyways, as I was getting ready for school on Monday, I got to wondering what a truly primitive Easter basket might look like and what I might do to make one. Next week I am on spring break and so I plan on trying my luck. Have you ladies thought of ever doing this or maybe you have done this? Do you have any ideas? Maybe you have some pictures? Like I said, this was just a thought. There are so many great ideas, for right now I just have to find the time to tackle some of them.

Blessings and Perfect Prims,
Stacey

Farm Wife Updates...

Hi ladies!

I just wanted to take a few short moments here and post something new. Many things have been happening around the Reilly farm. Let's see, well, I will quickly update you...

~ I have had a colonoscopy and EDG done to rule out some of the possible causes as to why I was having some of the symptoms that I was and thankfully everything came back fine and they were able to give me medication to help me

~ I have been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and have been changing my lifestyle and learning all about this disease and what I can do to help stop any complications from happening in the future

~ My SIL had a baby boy on March 14, which unfortunately had sparked some emotional days for me because my husband and I are trying to conceive and are dealing with some infertility issues

~ My job as a substitute teacher has gotten busier with more days

~ Time around our farm seems to have been running short, or maybe I just had not adjusted to some of the changes that have been made, like going to the rec center and working out more often and learning how to cook better

I plan on posting a lot more. It would be really awesome if I could post everyday, which is something that I hope to do. Let me tell you how much all of you wonderful ladies have inspired me with all of your beautiful blogs and creative ideas.

Blessings and perfect prims,
Stacey

Sorry if anyone has been trying to view my blog, I didn't know that was happening before this afternoon.

Tea Stain Recipe

I found a great site on the web that had some really wonderful primitive techniques for craft making and I wanted to share with you one of the recipes that she has on her site, which is how to tea stain fabric.

Here is her recipe:

Tea Staining ~ Fabric Tea staining has been around a long time and was first used to hide stains on linens. It is one of the most popular ways to stain fabric and gives it a warm antique look. Different types of teas such a green tea, black tea, rasperry and herbel teas will give you different tints and tones on fabrics so don't be afraid to experiment a bit. Hibiscus tea will give you red tones while black teas give more of a soft brown or cream tone to the fabric. Tea staining works well only on natural fabrics- muslin, cotton, linen and wools dye well. It is very easy to do and just takes a few simple steps:

~If your fabric is new be sure to wash it first to remove the sizing before dying

~I have found 4 cups of water and 4 single cup tea bags will dye one yard of fabric

~Bring the water to a boil and remove from heat add tea and let set for about 5 minutes until the liquid turns the desired color

~Remove the tea bags from the water if you dont the tea bags may make dark stains on your fabric

~Wet the fabric in water thoroughly, removing excess before putting in the tea mixture- stir gently

~Let soak for approxiamately 10 minutes checking to see if the fabric is dark enough

~Remember you fabric will dry a shade lighter

~When fabric has reached the desired color remove from the tea mixture and rinse well with warm water and a mild dish soap- if you don't the fabric may become damaged by the tea- tea contains acid which can destroy fibers over time

~Line dry or place the fabric in the dryer. I like to put the fabric in an old pillowcase to protect my dryer and if Im going to put in white clothes right after I will wipe the dryer out if it jeans I just dont worry

~When the fabric is dry if you want it darker repeat the process , if the fabric is too dark wash the fabric in a gallon of water to which you have added 1 tablespoon of bleach this will lighten the fabric- rinse thoroughly and redry

~If I am going to use the fabric for something that is going to be washed I will soak it in a gallon of cold water to which I have added 1 tablespoon of vinegar to set the color.

Have fun tea staining - remember the possibilities are endless -old linens, clothes, etc can all be tea stained! For more great crafting tips and recipes visit our website Two Old Crows.

Happy crafting and blessings,
Stacey

A Shopping Day and a Little About My Posts

Today I spent shopping and got the chance to go to Goodwill. There I found some really neat things that I will post pictures of on my blog Tuesday afternoon. I spent the whole day shopping at different places and of course spent some money, which is what I do unfortunately when I am depressed. To make a long story short, the reason for my depression today was the news that I am now considered a diabetic. My other blog tells of the journey that my husband Scott and I are going through in order to conceive our miracle. Feel free to visit anytime.

Thank you for all of your kind words and prayers. They mean so much to me and my husband. I also wanted to let you know that I will post everyday, the time however will not always be the same. For me it is usually after Scott goes to bed that I post for the next day, like I am now. But, tomorrow, or actually today, later this afternoon, I will be posting again those pictures of my finds at Goodwill. I am very excited about them! The reason I will be posting again this afternoon is because I am a substitute teacher and have to work in the morning, which makes my time to blog a little shorter since I have to get ready for the day. It is so wonderful to have all of you following my blog, what a blessing and miracle that is for me. :) I am going to get the hang of managing both blogs here, it is just going to take me a little time to adjust because I actually go through all of my followers blogs everyday and leave them comments. So, I will catch up on all of your blogs this afternoon since I did not get to do that.

Perfect prims and blessings,
Stacey
