Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord
Create your oasis and peace
Vegetables+Exotic houseplants+Fruit+Animals
We grow our own vegetables and have started our "mini orchard". We have a small flock of chickens that reward us with laughs, love and EGGS!
Our hope is you can see it is possible on any budget.
Our daughter collects and sells exotic houseplants and can help you find that perfect fit for your space.
What else do we do
Follow your dreams, where ever they may take you!
What we do here is a little hard to explain at times. We "create" many things, or help others to create. From O.o.a.k. sculptures (one of a kind) to redecorating rooms or outdoor sitting areas. From helping musicians to "create" their videos or ideas, to lending a hand to single moms be organized and create their homes. There is no limit to what we do. No parameters, or even guidelines.
The one of a kind sculptures try to capture a feeling or idea in sculpey clay.
We have helped many families de-clutter and banish hoarding tendencies. We have (and are) implementing self-suffiency through our mini-farm and cutting the extras.

Do it YOURSELF
Baking and canning is just a few things that help to keep a home going in trying times.
Having been a divorced single mom on a very tight budget, she learned not only how to "get by" but to constantly improve their level of living, and her home. After working in the corporate world, she realized she was missing out on many joys in her life with her children. The stress of it all led to many complications with her health. Raven almost lost her life.
Breaking the worldly mold of work/sleep only...has led to accomplishing memories and adventures together. A simpler life has brought them even closer to God and provided a healthier marriage, stronger faith and a better life overall.
When Raven is not being a concierge or sculpting, she leads the puppet ministry at Victorian Hills Community Church of Greer and is Youth Director Assistant, working in children's ministry. Light In Darkness (L.I.D. Crew) puppets has been exciting to redefine and they are blessed to produce videos. The videos are published on Youtube. She also plays percussion including djembe.
Her husband Michael works at Joe Hudson Collision Center of Spartanburg as an estimator. Michael is seeking his ordination for Youth Minister and works in the children's/youth ministry as well. He also helps with worship at Victorian Hills Community Church of Greer and writes his own music as well. The kids are grown and moved out but, Raven and Michael enjoy time with their grandchildren, family and church family.
