Thank you for stopping buy to visit. I appreciate it so much.
The photo, above, is to show a few things that can be done without much money, or even using free things. Cotton knit sheet sets which can be stretched over a worn out chair and couch, can coordinate and protect furniture. The blanket and table cover are two pieces of fabric, folded and draped. Florals can be hand made from free instructions in books and online, made from fabric or tissue paper.
No-sew fabric-covered cushions
Old magazines with colors that look good with the fabrics can be used as part of the decor.
What I wore.
The catalog I showed in the video is HERE, which shows various couch covers similar to the way we draped our furniture to protect it:
To make this decorative cushion, I machine-washed and dried a worn-out bed pillow and wrapped a piece of fabric around it (this was previously fabric in a dress), and tied it together in the back.
I found this cute kitchen picture on Pinterest. I hope you'll visit my Pinterest page here.
Be sure to listen, with your sons and daughters, to "When Queens Ride By."
I found this plaid dress at the Dillards website and imitated it with some cotton flannel:
The poems I read on this video:
Sermons We See
Prayer for the Home
A Vow
Greatness
Find some of the Edgar A. Guests poems I read, by entering the name of the poem in the search area HERE.
The scripture I read was I Thessalonians 4:11-12.
I contains the Koine Greek word "aspire" which means to ambitiously and eagerly seek something of high value.
These verses have a helpful recipe for daily life.
I hope you enjoy being home while you listen:

So many things we can do by adding sweet and simple touches to our homes! Love your wonderful and encouraging blog and video ministry, I will listen in soon. Many blessings to you!
I love your skirt and blouse, soo beautiful. Thank you always for such encouraging words. I hope you and family have a very blessed year ahead.
Dearest lydia I wanted to ask if you could share with us the Lamplighter books that you have so far? I do have stepping heavenward and it is my favorite book so far. Thank you 😊
I’m so glad to have another encouraging video from you! Someone should compile all of your best advice together in a book called “How to be a Happy Homemaker”. These broadcasts have made my life at home so much better. ☺️
Love those no-sew pillows! And your flannel dress is impressive. That is a darling pink kitchen. I love it when you homeschool us. Much of what you do with us I did with my son and I'm so grateful for homeschooling. Rebecca S. sent me a cute image with animals baking and this saying: "Their childhood is also your motherhood." I'm so glad I didn't miss out on this! I got bread baking in my breadmaker and cleaned the kitchen while I listened. Here is the link to the short story When Queens Ride By, as well as me narrating it in a video: https://www.beautifulhomemakers.com/2023/11/when-queens-ride-by.html Thanks!
