~ Show and Tell Friday~Stair Railing ~





 

This last week our Friend Mr. B had to leave back to the states.  Before he left.  He finished a couple of projects that he started in our " House that God Built".  He went out onto our land and found small trees to make our railing and spindles.  It is such a neat thing to watch how God keeps leading and designing our house design.

 

 If you want to join us  just....


~Make a Show and Tell Post and make sure it is wholesome. It can be pretty much what ever you want to share.  It could be about you ...or your family ....or what is going on in your homeschooling.

~Some how link me ( Canadagirl ) so others will know where to go to join S&T.

~Come back to me and  let me know you posted your S&T by using Mr. Linky. ( I need you  to tell me each week that you want to participate  , okay ?  )

~If you want the S&T button to put on your blog go HERE

~Then
please go visit other gals wonderful Show and Tells !  Oh,  don't forget to comment.  EVERYONE  loves comments.

OK...THAT was weird...HSB said "CAN NOT VIEW THIS PROFILE" Then the comment box popped up!
Lol...late nite and the internet....

Anyhoo, what an extremely cool railing! You are so blessed! I've been following your story, and the Lord is really watching over you all.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for letting me participate!

Hi Mary,

Those stair posts are awesome. Your house is all so natural. I love that! I'm not going to be able to join in for S&T this week. I don't have the time. Maybe next week.

Neat! That Mr. B is quite the craftsman. I love you stove in the picture too! Is that where you heat water for tea?

I posted an entry, but it's not S&T - well, it could be, but I want it under the "Homeschool" catagory, else I can't think of anything to S&T - perhaps a messy kitchen or a messy/torn apart daughter's room. Time to clean.
Have a GREAT day my friend!

That's really neat, the way Mr. B put them up. It's so cool the way you can soak the limbs and bend them into the positions like that. This is a really awesome stairway, can't wait to see the final touch. (Big Smile) Take care, and hope Mr. B will be back really really soon.

Blessings your SSIC,
Debbie

What a guy! That is just about the coolest banister I've seen. Very creative, those curved slats. Fun!
Oh...when in June are you coming down to the Seattle area? Marla and I want to know.

Mr B is so talented. You can get away with that in Canada, but not in Califonia we are regulated and permitted to death.
Awesome look!

Sorry I couldn't participate today in S & T. I had a dr. appointment today - got my cast off - and it's our wedding anniversary - my hubby stayed home! So, I'll catch you next week with something special.

I'm still enjoying reading about everyone's posts.

Have a great day.

Sadly no. He is moving on and will be traveling the world some more. God brought him in for a period of time and blessed us .

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 10, and 8. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
