Creativity is the greatest pleasure you could give a child as a lesson in life on how to broaden their views. Looking at nature, takings twigs, stones, moss and making fairie houses for the little critters in the garden . My granddaughters loved that and they actually spent eight hours transfixed in creating theirs. Each week I watch my three grd kiddos and all they want to do is go up into my studio and play with clay, paint or cut and glue using old magazines. We’re making new bird houses now for the farm and they’re excited to see what bird will pick their creation come Feb and March.....we also are making nesting material bundles to set around the new houses. Creative play items is the only gifts I give at Christmas.....one grd daughter will be getting a weaving loom because at twelve she’s often bored and I hope this will give her a chance to make hats, purses and a kitty blanket for her pet....I think it’s great you’re showing others how being home can be such a great fostering of togetherness...thank you.
🤗Oh, your coffee grinder🤗 I’ve home roasted my coffee for over 20 years and refuse my morning peace to be interrupted by an electric grinder. I just ordered a new hand crank grinder... my old one simply wore out. I have never seen one like yours, must be an antique you were thrilled to find. I do not covet your’s... yet completely appreciate and “get” how you must enjoy and treasure it.
The whole Elliott clan hits it completely out of the park yet again; what a poignant & palpable expression of warmth , creativity and art.... it’s beautiful and the concert was a delightful surprise. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us
I love everything about your videos! Even though I am 65 and in a different stage of life from you, you inspire me. I needed to hear what you said about being in the times we are, making time for being creative because that is the ting that really rests me.
This is one of the most inspiring and beautiful videos you've created. It really brought a lump into my throat. You've inspired me to get out of the slump I've been in since having my fourth baby and being sick with Covid and dealing with so much in the world today, and to start fostering creativity in my kids and myself again! Thank you for showcasing that lovely truthful scripture, also. ❤️
You and your family are so talented!! I'm glad to got to see that it was your husband that was playing your music for your vlog, the melody has always been so pretty and seeing that your family is the one playing the guitars makes it even better. I am still so amazed at your creativity and the grace you are able to project while giving us a snapshot of your lives. Your children are so adorable! I have so enjoyed watching them grow up! You give me craft ideas I can do with my grandchildren when they visit. Thank you for sharing your journey through life with us.
There is a warm glow coming from the side of a mountain in Wales UK after watching your wonderful talented family. Fab music and absolutely wonderful still life photography. Awesome. xx
Lol, your little girls orange looked like "Wilson" from the Tom Hanks film. Made me laugh. I needed that. I love your relaxing country videos. Reminds me of a younger me. I'm learning to crochet , and giving the child size blankets to the sheriff's office to give to kids they have to take away from parents, or who've been involved in bad accidents. Anything traumatic. Its healing for me, and I hope comforting to the littles who receive them. Its good and true. God bless you!
Shaye! Wow! I LOVED this so much! What you said, the lemon photograph (my heart smiled), Stu and his brother’s exceptional musical performance, your daughter painting..... ALL THE STUFF. Love 💕 Blessings beautiful mama. You certainly blessed me.
The guitar duet was so beautiful and delightful, thank you for sharing. Your art at the end inspires. My eight year old was amazed at the photography that looked like a painting to her eyes. Lovely!
We have loved using Charlotte Mason's philosophy of education in our home too! Home is the heart of it all. Loved this quaint reminder of the simplicity and joy in creativity and handiwork. The guitar duet was amazing too!
I cannot express how very much I LOVE this video!! This was "simply" the best! A feast for my eyes, and ears (love, love, love the acoustic guitar duet)! This fed my soul and got my creative juices flowing!! I am sure the coffee is helping though too, and it is nice and strong this morning! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
Really enjoyed your video, we can tell there’s a lot of love and peace in your home and with me being a pastor it was great to hear you incorporate the scriptures in your video. May GODS BLESSINGS be upon you and your family continually. 🙏🏻👍🏻😇🙌🏻
I love that you quoted Charlotte Mason! I homeschooled in the 80s and 90s and used Charlotte Mason philosophy. Keep up your beautiful videos. I really enjoy them.
So much beauty! I loved this video very much. I needed to hear your words. Beautiful food, beautiful message, beautiful music, beautiful pictures (art). I can't get enough of it. Hugs and love ❤
We watch Townsends here on youtube to learn about cooking over a fire. I bet you would enjoy them :) This is so beautiful and inspirational. We moved to the woods this past year. It's been a culture shock and much harder than I expected. But this has reminded me of what we were thinking when we bought this place...CREATIVITY!
I love all of your videos, but this one is by far my favorite. It was so beautifully shot, the music was fantastic, and the message was on point. Great job and thank you!
WOW! You channel is BETTER than ANYTHING i have watched on TV in the last 20 years if not EVER. ( although have NOT had a TV in the home for the last 7 of those years). Well done Mrs. Elliot, and dare I say... Merry Christmas to the Elliot Family.
Just love you videos, your family and your way of life. That was the perfect verse to share, thank you for that! You and your family are a blessing to us ❤️
Shaye, you never cease to INSPIRE! My kids and I were at our dining room table doing watercolor and nature study when I pulled up your video. The winter months ahead are FULL and BRIGHT with ideas (as Charlotte Mason always said). Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your life with us. Blessings and Happy Christmas!! (from Tennessee)
You and your family are wonderfully blessed to be able to live this life. We should always give thanks to God for each and every blessing in our lives. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life and family. May God continue blessing you all.
What an inspirational video! I love your still life photography series......the photos speak to my soul. Your home is just full of magic! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Fantastic! Thank you for these few minutes of peace and tranquility. Your photography is outstanding! Absolutely loved the guitar duo. Blessings to you and your family for a magical Holiday Season. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful... thank you for the reminder... this made me feel so heart-warmed... my creativity may not be yours but I do have my own , however that may be...💕💕🐾🐾
1st Thessalonians 4:11 is my favorite verse. " Make is your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you." Earlier this week, my boys did or said something that caused me to repeat the verse to them, the next evening our devotions book asked us to read that verse, and now I hear you repeating the verse as well.
Great video! People love to do homesteading for different reasons; to some, it is a job, and to others, it’s a relaxing hobby. We actually sell land which can be a good location for homesteading. This info is helpful for those who like to spend time away from the city.
Wow! what a really, really special video!...Perhaps I've found a new place to find some serious calm-down. I guess for me the starting point is that I really like the winter season, love snow and there's only two reason's I have any remaining love for Christmas. Thank you very much for your video here, it's beautiful!
You both and your kids have a lot of style and blessed be to you both and your kids the way of life and please keep on showing more beautiful things to do in life and take care of yourselves and be safe out there okay and peaces out 👍🙏😇👍
Shaye this video was so very lovely to watch. Thank you for inviting us into your home and sharing those words of encouragement. I feel like I have a dear friend in you, which is a real gift during this crazy season.
Boy was this a treat! I’m learning to macrame and find simple pleasures in the weird holiday season. Love Stewart’s elements and Shaye, you are doing amazing work. I appreciate you so much.

Make sure you watch until the end.... my boys give us a private concert. How rich this life is!
Beautiful!
Gorgeous music!! I really enjoyed listening to their music and watching them play. 🙂💕
Whoa?! Stuart can really play! I sure needed this today. This world is getting me down. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video.😊
I want to be a stay-at-home mom terribly. I’m so envious. Thank you so very much for this beautiful video.
Bravo! Well done.
Love the private concert. Love your shots at the end. Your whole video is beautifully created!

Since retiring, that verse has become even more essential to daily living. I'm am back where I started in this life and it is excellent. D.
What a wonderful way to share the Scripture's practical guidance to living life. Great job!
It's so refreshing to hear a woman and mother say "as much as I DON'T like crafting..." Ahhh. Me too sister.
Can we pleeeease get an album of folk music from Stuart and Jeremy 😍
That would be lovely
I would buy it ❤️
I think this was one of the prettiest ones you've made so far. The concert was wonderful. You've got so much talent in your family. Truly blessed.
Beautiful ♥️ true peace and happiness is only found in Christ and simplicity 🙏🏻♥️
I love everything about your videos! Even though I am 65 and in a different stage of life from you, you inspire me. I needed to hear what you said about being in the times we are, making time for being creative because that is the ting that really rests me.
"Within our homes we can create what is good and still and beautiful" Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️🙏

This is so beautiful and inspirational. We moved to the woods this past year. It's been a culture shock and much harder than I expected. But this has reminded me of what we were thinking when we bought this place...CREATIVITY!
This was so calming. The noise around me is deafening but I can work on making my home a haven of quiet. Beautiful video, thank you!
