New Beginnings

I want to share on this blog all things creative and old. I really enjoy making new things and sharing my ideas with others. Rusted, chipped and broken are a few of my favorite words! I love putting new things with old. Lace with metal. Rusted with sparkle. I get so much of my inspiration by all the wonderful craft and home decor blogs. (Look to the right of my blog to find my favorites). I hope to inspire you with my ideas!

Why Grace Lily Lou's? Grace is my oldest daughter's middle name. Lily is my baby's nickname and my dad has always called me Tami Lou. All us girls in one title.

A little bit of info about me:

I'm a 28 year old mother of 3. Raised in the city my heart has always been in the country. I'm a homemaker by choice and wouldn't change my 'job' for anything else! I have two little girls and one very busy little boy (ages 7,4,3). Starting this past Fall, my husband and I, decided homeschooling was something we wanted to try and I have enjoyed doing it! We live in an older home in a rural area on about an acre of land. We are surrounded by trees and quiet and we love it! Along with crafting,re-purposing and thrift store shopping I really try to live a simple quiet kind of life. My husband and I hope to one day own a large homestead (or really?) just a hobby farm would be nice, too.

Stay tuned for craft projects, decor ideas, furniture redo's, room makeovers and everything in between!

Have a great weekend!

  1. Welcome to blog land Tami! I have been homeschooling for 18 years, and have 5 more to go. My kids are almost 22 (in a few days), 18 and 12. None of them have ever been to public school. The two oldest are now in college and doing very well.

    Although we had some rough patches at times, and some days I wanted to pull my hair out, I would do it over again. The rewards far outweigh the bad days.

    Best of luck with homeschooling, the country life and with your blog.
