Home Happenings


Welcome HOME!  
Glad you're here checking out the HAPPENINGS at Home Haven.
Here's what's going on.
Daughter here has a flare for fashion and she pieced this outfit together.
The sweater has a fabric flower with a print on it that matched her top.  
She's clever that way!



Santa has gone into hiding...storage....and been replaced by snowmen and angels.
Our newest wooden Angel hangs outside by the front door.
I want my home to be blessed.
Truly.  Lord, please help me. 




We're doing some home cleaning 
to get ready for a Coffee-mate Party February 4th.  
Will let you know how this goes.  
Daughter registered for this and will host a Cafe Party.  
She'll receive an apron, muffin tin and Coffee-mate.
Hope the Neighborhood Women plus some friends attend.
How can a Coffee Party be a drag when you get a group of coffee drinkers
 together to sip and chat...




 This morning the wind was out of the right direction 
to receive PBS on the television 
so SID THE SCIENCE KID was watched.
Today was about frozen fruit and fixing fruit pops in the freezer.  
A great program for Lil Miss since she's 4, but Granny here enjoyed it as well.



Are you familiar with SID???
Class room fun.
Education made fun in a class room with only 4 children.  
Can you imagine only 4 children to one teacher in the public school system? 
I don't think this will ever happen in my lifetime. 




God has made everything beautiful in its time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11

Christmas was enhanced by this beautiful DaySpring gift 
from some of my children that is displayed on top of my antique Dining~room China Cabinet.
Food for thought at a glance.


Quickly I arranged inside my sideboard 
and felt great about getting something done 
that I had been wanting to organize for sometime.  
Sigh...it's done and onto something else that needs a touch.






 FORGOT we had these nifty roast beef utensils.
Sure handy when you have roast beef.  
Guess we need to eat more roast beef at HOME HAVEN.



Recently I came across these pretty pierre cardin ink pens in a case.
Thrifty buys makes my heart flutter and warms my home estate.



May you have a fantastic day 
and a very SWEET LIFE!

What's happening at your home?
God Bless,
~Deanna~

Beautiful share Deanna Sweetie...
I can see you are getting lots done over at Home Haven Ministry.

Love the daughter's creation. She is a fashionista. Love her style and it looked so cute on her. I love the layering look the girls are starting to do now.

Can't wait to hear how the coffee party goes. Now I haven't heard of this one yet. Sounds fun. Who wouldn't want to come to that? Keep us posted please.

Have a glorious Monday sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

Enjoyed your happenings! The Cafe party sounds like fun. I'm about to have a Thirty-One Gifts party, this Friday. Now I have an idea of something to post about! Thanks for sharing your day! Be Blessed!

Hey....I'm lookin' for a friend... I'm lookin' for you!
Sid the ScienceKid is a fun program.

Like the pictures of the sideboard all neat and tidy, and the pens....well it goes without saying that I am a pen and pencil fanatic. I still have the Dietzen Drafting Lead Holders (Mechanical Pencils) from when we were in art class as newly weds 36 and a half years ago. (Plus numerous others).

A lot happening around Home Haven.

So enjoyed hearing about the happenings at Home Haven. We may have youngest daughter moving back home. Not sure yet. She is doing well in her job and does not want to live in the city in an apartment by herself. I don't want her to either. I have mixed feelings but where ever He takes us we will go. Blessings

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
