“Be the Hands and Feet” Book Review

I have read one of the Nick Vujcic’s other books and always find myself sitting at the edge of my seat, so to speak to learn about Nick’s life without out arms and legs. As before, Nick did not disappoint me in providing a wonderful and inspirational book! “Be the Hands and Feet” is about God’s call to Christians to go out and share His love and word.

Not only does Nick share his own advice and stories from his life and walk with God, but he shares many stories from every day people and the unique ways they share God’s love with others. For the new Christian or even the seasoned Christian, this is a refreshing well planned and thought out guide for how to get out there and do God’s bidding. There is so much information packed in this book that it’s a definite candidate for another read thru (which is saying a lot, because I rarely read books twice!)

Even more meaningful, is Nick and his father’s heart wrenching experiences with illness and death, and how their faith grew. To be able to read of other’s doubts and reactions in really rough times, gives me hope that even I can keep my faith. This book packs in so much inspiration and hope for all Christians of all walks, from the newborn Christian to the pastor that I highly recommend “Be the Hands and Feet” for all!

I am doing this review for Walterbrook Multnomah Books in exchange for a free copy of the book. All opinions are my own.

DIY Pig Feeder

This is our second year of raising pigs for the fair. We've had some bumps along the way, one of them was our homemade feeder of last year. I tend to have ideas, and then Mr. Right gets the pleasure of trying to execute my ideas. Most of the time it works out, but last year, our feeder was a fail. This year, we need a feeder that can go a long period of time, since our pigs are not on our property where we live. Our neighbor made a complaint about the smell of the pigs last year to our landlord, so the landlord told us no more pigs. (Keep in mind, there are only 2 pigs on 6 acres and they are only here for 5 months and then go to the 4-H fair and livestock auction) Thankfully, another neighbor graciously allowed us to pen up a corner of her horse pen, to put our pigs in. This year, I wanted to be sure that Mr. Right did a quality version of the pig feeder that would make it through the entire five months, and hopefully into the next few years! We agreed on

Burlap and Ticking

I found a queen size bed ruffle with a ticking ruffle on it. Immediately, I picked it up (for only $1!) at our local thrift store. I knew that I would combine it with my find of burlap bags. ( I picked up 200 of them for only $10! Yes, that's right, they were only $.05 each! I overindulged in them, and could take no less than 200 because of the price.) One of the problems with my new bags is that they are a little smaller than the printed ones that I have. I personally like really long table runners because I have a really big table, but I decided to get over my own feelings and make this runner as long as I could (the ruffle really helped, too). So here is the runner. I think the ticking and the burlap really look great together. I know how to make ruffles and have ticking, but for $1 I thought that this really was worth using from a different source! You could have it in the middle of a big table like above, or you could have the ruffle hang down the edge of the

Drop Cloth Couch Re-do

It's my 100th Post! What a great big reveal I have in store for you today! Three years ago, I found Miss Mustard Seeds' 6 part How to Make Slipcovers Series and started with watching the first video. I ran out to Home Depot and purchased two drop clothes, washed and bleached them to get ready for making the slipcovers for my two couches, and there they sat folded nicely in my craft room! A year ago, we moved across the country, so I packed those drop clothes up in a box, clearly marked them and put them on the truck. When we arrived, I put them in front of all my other boxes to do first. We even moved again over Christmas, and I moved that box again! Then, I did a pillow re-do, HERE that pushed me over the edge. I just had to tackle those slip covers! Before of the couch and the pillows that began the entire thing! I had a Saturday, where the guys were doing guy things and it was me and the girls home, so I watched all 6 videos! Yes, I did, from start to
