Creative Bits for you this week
Our Daughter-in-Love, Aurora, Is Offering this LOVELINESS That’s Perfect for a winter Weekend!
This darling printable garland makes a cozy craft for a winter weekend, so slow down with a cup of tea, some friends, your people, or just a good old audiobook to keep you company as you craft your heart away. As Aurora shares, “I hope this garland brings a little more joy to this season, whether its strung across mantle, a bookshelf, a window, above your craft corner (as mine is), or as a bunting for a birthday celebration. You could also use the images in your scrapbook, or tucked inside a snail mail letter.” And I think Shiloh and I are going to make one and send it to my Mama for some joy!
I want to make one!
…love this!
So sweet!
Crazy unique!

What we’re Listening to on the Farm this week
God I’m Just Grateful | Acoustic | Elevation Worship & Chandler Moore
We The Kingdom – Let It Be Jesus
On the book shelf this week at the farm:
In Sacred & Still, Kendra, Kristin, and Julie gently guide us through the season of Lent and unpack what Christ’s sacrifice ultimately means for us. Through this beautiful Christian devotional, explore the deep significance of Jesus’ crucifixion and delight in the celebration of His resurrection. As we make space for Jesus in our lives, we’ll rediscover the true meaning of Easter, empowering us to share Him with others.
More than a call to a deeper understanding of Christ’s grace, Sacred & Still is an invitation to carry the peace and love of Jesus into our everyday lives. As we journey through the still and sacred beauty of the Lenten season, we find healing, freedom, renewal, and purpose in His presence.
Gifts and Gratitudes is a daily companion that urges you to savor every moment by recognizing and listing only three things you are grateful for each day. This life-altering practice will allow you to record and reflect upon more than one thousand gifts of blessing throughout the year.
Through the daily and healing practice of gratitude, you can discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of becoming present to God that brings deep and lasting joy.
It’s only in the expression of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we’ve always wanted…a life we can take, give thanks for, and offer others. Come to feel and know the impossible right down in your bones: you are wildly loved by God and showered with His gifts.
Dr. Warren’s new book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, introduces self–brain surgery to anyone who wants to feel better and find happiness, regardless of life circumstances. It might be for you if
• you’ve endured hard things that made you doubt God’s love and care, and you want to find hope and faith again
• you’re struggling with emotional health—anxiety, depression, loneliness, or grief—and you want to feel happier
• you or a loved one is facing chronic pain or an irreversible situation, and you need better ways to handle it
I look forward to every word from Christie Purifoy and keep her books here in their own stack here on my coffee table… deeply life-giving.
Christie’s latest book, A House to Call Home, is a stunning heartfelt collection of lyrical essays offering readers philosophical and practical insights into creating a deeper sense of belonging in the place they call home.
With creativity and care, you can cultivate comfort in the house where you live.
