    Update on my Artistic Endeavors

    ByMary Crozier March 28, 2019March 28, 2019

    When my second born went off to college, I took my first art class. She will be graduating in May. I find it hard to believe that nearly 4 years has passed. I am not a faithful painter. The easiest way for me to paint is to sign up for 4 to 6 week classes,…

    Storing things

    ByMary Crozier January 15, 2019January 15, 2019

    Someone recently asked me where I put everything. The challenge with having a large property is to not fill it to the brim with stuff. I tend to organize by categories. Some people organize alphabetically or by color or project. But it’s easier for me to focus on the object~~looking for scissors? Go to the…

    Slowly Decorating

    ByMary Crozier December 4, 2018

    I have been MIA for the last week.  It all started Thanksgiving morning.  I woke up full of energy and excitement for the holiday.  Mid-morning I suddenly had the worst abdominal pains, which was the beginning of a wave of vomiting and the “other”.  The good Lord gave me a break long enough to get…

    A Peek into Our Master Bath

    ByMary Crozier October 3, 2018August 22, 2022

    Our master bathroom is my sanctuary.  It is hard to even remember the original layout. Bathrooms have come a long way since the early 1900s. The original master bath looked like this~~love the dizzying wallpaper. The unique cast iron tub from the early 1900s was salvaged and moved to our daughter’s bathroom. We completely refigured…
