So what do you do if your kitchen has no drawers? You make your own, of course! :) I am amazed at how those boxes work just fine as drawers. At least for me. At least for now. heh.



And what do you do if you are saving nickles to afford the new windows which are arriving in a month when you'd much rather buy one of those nifty black entertainment centers you saw at Target? 

You simply remove a couple drawers in a dresser you already own, drill holes in the back for cords and then paint the whole thing black. Not as cool as the Target one I stood in front of and coveted, but we're happy with it. And if you'd like to see the pink 'before photo' again, it's here:





A couple people told me they hope I have the stamina for this little farm. Well, I believe I do, but I also think I have something even better. Grace. Grace is all over me out here. 

She whispers the best and smartest ways and times to do things (like work in the yard in the cool mornings and save housework for later). She gives me creative ideas and leads me to necessary information and instruction (especially for out in the yard) and she gives strength, courage and patience. 

All of which I require above and beyond just the stamina part. Grace. She truly is amazing. With her, all will be well.
