(Repost- had to delete and re edit for copyright claim 😛) Nearing the end of an Era- it can be sad, but my goal is to focus on soaking up all the memories made and anticipate the new memories to come. But I’ll definitely be shedding a few tears as the time comes closer. And so I painted 🙂
I was wondering what happend, bc when i clicked it, it says it was deleted by the user, then i clickedit few times and baam, wahlah, ur vlog was there. I thought i was going loco here.
I agree! Paint your home. Your church looks beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Mary, Peter, & Ollie, you always lift my spirits when I'm down and out with my chronic illnesses. Thank you
all good things must come to an end but new door open and new. chapters in life begin its sad and happy all at once . much love to the freys and ollie boy you guys are a blessing to me .
Glad you said why the video was taken down. It was a strange experience to have it disappear while I was watching. Beautiful painting of your church with its proper red doors!
I really love how outwardly appreciative you are towards one another. It’s also touching that Peter is so proud of Mary, and that he tells her. I think even though people may feel that way towards a spouse, it’s not always vocalized. It’s just nice to see.
Love the church painting Mary, they would make Christmas cards too (special addition) ! For the store. So excited for you guys to sign off on the new house, new adventures and praying for much better health in the years to come.
Love all the art stuff in this video. I do that too Mary, where I listen to something and work on my art and then when I look back I can remember what I was listening to. You two are so sweet together, have a goodnight, see ya tomorrow.
To detach the paper, you need a ruler and something sharp (like a very very sharp knife or a cutter)! First you want to cut a bit of the side of the paper where it's attached to the block, just enough so you can slip the ruler between your illustration and the rest of the block. The ruler has to be clean and flat or it will leave marks on the next page (I have made that mistake before haha) Once you get the ruler under the paper, you can use it to lift the paper a little bit and then cut the glue with your cutting tool around the rest of the sheet :) Using a ruler and stretching the glue makes it way easier because if you just cut the sides while the paper is still stuck, you risk cutting the paper itself and damaging it! (Again, I've done that too :p ) I have never found any other way to safely detach my paper without damaging the illustration or the sheet underneath and so far it's been working great for me but it requires patience :p I hope that helps and I'm a bit late of the vlogs so I hope I'm not bothering you with something that has been answer in the most recent one :( Anyway have a nice day!
we have such similar tastes in art supplies mary! Windsor & Newton is a favorite of mine for watercolors, and while i don't use that specific brand of paper i do love my cold pressed paper. its amazing how excited one can get when they find the perfect art materials for them! Art's been a big part of how i stay sane during hospital stays. In fact, my oldest brother got me the paper and the brushes i love so much during one of my stays 3 years ago. It's nice to have that joyful reminder in the midst of what was so hard.
I am caring for my mother who had a bad fall and broke her arm. We had dinner early and went through the process of getting her ready for bed. Then we realized it was only 6pm! She went to bed at 7:30. I sympathize with feeling ready for bed ridiculously early.
Mary, there is a slit in the paper where you insert a pallet knife to separate the paper. I use that same paper all the time for water color. Let me know if you need more help. Awesome painting of the church. The members will love it 💗🙏🏻
Mary, I too listen to audiobooks as well when painting. I am a childhood cancer survivor who survived but lives with lots of late effects of radiation from 1968. I have lots of days I do nothing but paint but I feel like I’ve produced something. I paint home portraits on old slate. I sell quite a few a work on commission. You can see some of my work on my Facebook Lilly Riera. Pray for you guys often
Mary Your painting is lovely You're great at painting glad today was better for You than yesterday You guys are great thanks for vlogging everyday God Bless
Can’t go wrong with Windsor and Newton Paints. I have that same little sketch / travel pallette and also a large pallette that I fill with paint from tubes...I also use the same paper as you. It’s expensive, but worth it. I use both cold press and hot press, depending on the project i’m working on...I was an art major in college waaaay back in 1981....and just this last weekend found some old paintings I had done in art classes ....was neat to find them...I was surprised to remember so much detail about what was going on in my life at that time, just by looking at those old paintings...
I know I have said this before but I love you guys Mary I just went through a Operation and went septic and threw kidney failure. My kidney is getting better slowly. But thinking about your strength it has helped a lot your so sweet and positive ❣️ Peter you’re as almost as sweet as my husband. Mary I believe we won the husband lottery 😁 Keep up the good work you two. Becky
Becky I'm glad to hear your kidney is getting better - even slow progress is progress! And glad to hear you have your wonderful husband by your side through it all! Keep on pressing on!
i LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing the various healthy meals you two make and eat - its rare to see non obsessive gym fitness people (ie the average person) making eating healthy a part of their everyday routine. of course, you need to, as part of keeping well and fighting CF, but its still refreshing. and it makes me want to make sure i eat well too! so thank you :)
Mary, the church you painted is fantastic! We're all with you on this journey. New adventures to come. I can't wait to see your house. I have the utmost respect for the two of you. XO
I'm glad you guys are taking the time to process through this loss. It is a loss. A loss of community and closeness with people you've invested your lives into and who have invested their lives into you guys too. You're doing a good job beginning to process through this now rather than just waiting until after the fact. It will help you transition. Proud of you guys.
So glad you had a better day! You sound good and look great. I see your window box painting, as I said...there it is, there It is! Lol I’ve always like that painting. Have a blessed weekend you two! Xo
I love stabilo pens (the ones you’re using). I’m in Canada and have been using them since the 90’s. There were a few stores that carried them, one was a two minute walk from my college. I still have a pack that my cousin bought my from the hospital gift store from last year.
Hi Guys , Mary you are very good !! I like your painting of your church , so glad you have that talent. Years from now you and Peter will be able to share todays memories far better through your work than just a photo. You folks are doing fine , your fighting the CF war on YOUR terms , good for you , stay strong , and thanks for the vlog. I hope you have a great evening , stay cool , all my best , Gary
that reminds me of my old neighbors from when I was growing up... the lady across the street from us was taking a painting class and she painted our house and then gave the painting to my parents before they moved away. Skip to 20+ years later and my parents still have that painting in the house they live in now.
Haha I'm from Germany and it's so funny to me how people from other countries are so amazed by stabilo markers because I've been using them all my life. on the other hand im kinda like that with sharpies because you never used to be able to get them anywhere but now they're slowly starting to be available in more stores.
I wanted to bad to comment on this earlier and that feature wasn't available. I love that church painting. It reminds me a little of the song Little Brown Church in the Wild Wood. 💗😀👋
Love to you all, thank you for sharing your life, struggles and love with us. You help us more than you'll ever know. I am in an extreme time in my life right now and so much is going on a rounded me and in me I am very much overwhelemd by it. I have ways of coping.....watching your beautiful, quarky always lovley videos really keeps my spirit together. I am very different from you spiritually and yet I am so gratful and thankful everyday for the joyous and hope filled energy you give out to the world from your channel. And Olly is a doggy hero love his curl cuteness and a beautiful service dog, working hard for you Mary with love ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ and Peter you ease my heart with your caring nature and practicality I love woodwork so i can't wait to see what projects you all get up to inthe new place. I wish the best of allthings for your move and a new era. Love♡Peace♡Hope
Jilly G sorry to hear you're having a difficult season right now, keep on pressing on one day at a time! So glad our vlogs can be a source of encouragement for you!
Your church painting turned out beautiful! Have you tried watercolor paint pencils? I ordered some from Amazon and have had so much fun with them. You draw with the pencils, then use a wet brush over it and it magically turns into paint.
So beautiful havnt been on UA-cam much but you guys are why I keep coming back to binge keep up ur fight and your hard work your journey and words are so powerful even if you have a hard time saying them your guys family is Beautiful and full I love I'm so happy to support and watch in 😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗
I’m sure you have figured it out already, but to get the sheet of paper off your watercolor block, take a pallette knife (or if you don’t have one, you may be able to use a letter opener or a bitter knife from the kitchen, and slip it in between the sheets, and run it around the edges of the block. It’s easy once you have done it a few times....I love using water color blocks....so much easier than having to tape down your paper im order to keep it flat when using lots of water for a wash...and no stretching your paper, like you have to do if you buy large, individual sheets of paper. Love your painting!
I love your painting, Mary! I have all of my watercolors just waiting, not being used because of perfectionism. I’m glad you talked about how you deal with it too. What’s that phrase, “Great is the enemy of good?” 💕
I LOVE your church painting Mary!!! Beautiful!!!! Im anxious for it to be posted on your online store. You should be very proud. You should think about offering water painting online classes, I would love to learn, and 'Im sure I'm not the only one. :-) Sending my love and hugs to the three of you, see you tomorrow!
Ok I am very sad today I lost another friend. She died last night. So I'm crying and looking thinking you should be on here by now you always cheer me up. So here we are. There was a moment on here I started laughing. You were in the car just got out of the store talking about the vest Peter looks at you Mary says how you feel about that? You start laughing. Thank you. You both just do funny things I never know when I usually laugh in your videos. Thank you.
Beautiful painting!! I wish I had a talent. I totally understand the end of an era. We just sold our house & will be moving in August. I love this house, but we have stairs & due to my disability I can’t climb them very much longer.
You may already know about these Mary but you can get watercolour pencil crayons! They are sooo cool, you just do your drawing and then go over it with water after and they look exactly like a painting! Aside from the depression and anxiety that I mentioned in an earlier post I also have a disability called Spina Bifida and I use to take my pencil crayon set to those loooonnnng clinic days to doodle. It's pretty easy to travel with. Might be something to look into if you haven't already, I think you can get them at Michaels! I hope you're feeling loads better after your surgery, one day at a time! Sending you lots of healing thoughts from Canada!
Has anyone told you how to remove your painting? It's easy, you just need an exacto cutter. You will see along one side it is not sealed... slide the blade in there and just run it around the other 3 sides. Arches is good paper. You can iron it with your clothes iron later to make it nice and smooth again in case it is a bit wavy.
These blocks of paper usually have an unglued corner and you can insert something flat not so sharp (letter opener or back of a kitchen knife) to run it around the border to get of the first page without breaking the others.
Peter is an amazing partner . Mary you’re a Light, but tonight I’m shining a light on Peter because he’s also a light. Just realized all that he is and all that he does .
Warm greetings from a fellow painter with a variety of health issues! I find a lot of ideas in your videos for dealing with my overall low energy, so thanks for sharing! Is that one of these watercolour pads with only one "loose" corner? If so, I use those a lot and cut the arches out with an ordinary bread knife (I just carefully approach the loose corner, put the knife tip under and start "sawing" along the edge). I would totally put the church painting into the online shop!
That looks like a salad you will love. I made a fresh from my garden tomatoe and cucumber salad today. I tried a new recipe and loved it. Love you art Workin it today . Maybe you should do your house painting to take with you too,some people do that when they move.

The Frey Life Sorry about the copyright claim. What happened?
What will you miss most about your home and where you live now? 💜
I will miss Peter's sermons. But I'm inspired daily from both of ya'll and your Christian walk. In Christ's love from Oklahoma
Darlene Haley Peters sermons are awesome.
Made me cry to see you painting your church. It’s beautiful. Also I will miss Peter’s sermons in that church.
Hi Mary you should paint your house and take it with you when you move.
rob james great idea!
That is exactly what I thought she was doing when I first saw her drawing. It is a great idea.
I agree! Paint your home. Your church looks beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Mary, Peter, & Ollie, you always lift my spirits when I'm down and out with my chronic illnesses. Thank you
Oh my gosh, I couldn't help but admire the dog nose art on the car windows! 😍😘🐾
I absolutely love all your paintings Mary, you're so talented. ❤️
Awe, your Church drawing/painting came out really pretty. It has that New England charm. You captured that really wonderfully!
Thanks JC! :)
That picture is absolutely beautiful!! You're so talented, Mary!
Thank you MissaLVT!
Thank you for showing me continued strength and joy when I need it most❤️
Awe you're so welcome Jada! Keep on pressing on one day at a time!
Ahh thank you so much!💓
Can't wait to see where the Lord takes your ministry! Praying for you!

Glad you said why the video was taken down. It was a strange experience to have it disappear while I was watching.
Beautiful painting of your church with its proper red doors!
I can’t wait to see your new house and what’s next for you guys! ❤️
I really love how outwardly appreciative you are towards one another. It’s also touching that Peter is so proud of Mary, and that he tells her. I think even though people may feel that way towards a spouse, it’s not always vocalized. It’s just nice to see.
You should paint your MA house for a keepsake! And the church is beautiful!

I love it when you make new paintings! Something different... can't wait to see your new house.
So glad you've had a better day Mary. Love the new painting too x
Thanks Highland Croft Craziness!
Your new painting is beautiful. It will be one that you can look back many years from now and bring back memories.
Thanks Nancy!! :)
I liked that talk about painting equipment. This stuff feels so comfortable and neighbourly ... All the best in hospital!🤗 Kind regards, Susanne
Thanks Susanne!
That is so special ❤️ what a great memory for you & Peter!
I loved to watch Mary paint under the sunlight slipping into the room! ❤️ it was really a nice painting, Mary!
I can't believe how good you look . I am glad that everything is going well. Lot of hugs and prayers for you and Peter 💙
Thanks Melissa!
Mary, i love the way you describe your painting and how you do it. I'm blind and love when people describe their art. Much love to you and Peter.

Maybe you can sell the paintings of the church and have the proceeds of that print to go back into the church in your name ♥️
I love the painting Mary!! You should frame it and put it in the new house!! ❤️❤️
You're making me want to start watercolor painting again! :) Hahaha! But, I agree. The painting is perfect, Mary!
Your painting is beautiful, Mary! So thoughtful. I love hearing more about how you do your paintings! I’ve always wanted to try to watercolor.
Thanks Morgan! :)
Church is not about perfection... it is about loving even through imperfections. Your painting is beautiful!
Love to you guys from Ohio as always!!!! Wishing you all the best on your next journey
Thanks Tonia!
I love stabilo pens (the ones you’re using). I’m in Canada and have been using them since the 90’s. There were a few stores that carried them, one was a two minute walk from my college. I still have a pack that my cousin bought my from the hospital gift store from last year.
Hi Guys , Mary you are very good !! I like your painting of your church , so glad you have that talent.

Thanks Jeri!
You certainly look brighter today. Good luck at clinic tomorrow. Loved the painting.
You look so much better today and the painting is gorgeous
Thanks Lauren :)

It's nice to see you talk about one of your hobbies Mary 😊
I love audiobooks! It helps me so much when I’m feeling shitty and can’t really read myself. And I really love reading. So audiobooks are amazing. 💚
As someone who loves to watch both of your feet walk I LOVE the footprints on Mary’s shirt
I’m sure you have figured it out already, but to get the sheet of paper off your watercolor block, take a pallette knife (or if you don’t have one, you may be able to use a letter opener or a bitter knife from the kitchen, and slip it in between the sheets, and run it around the edges of the block.

Beautiful painting. I can tell it’s being painted with lots of love n meaning 🥰 p.s happy you guys re-uploaded this. Got worried for a sec haha
What you see as imperfection in your work are design elements specific to you! You do great work! ❤️
Thanks Aemummie
I LOVE your church painting Mary!!! Beautiful!!!! Im anxious for it to be posted on your online store. You should be very proud. You should think about offering water painting online classes, I would love to learn, and 'Im sure I'm not the only one. :-) Sending my love and hugs to the three of you, see you tomorrow!
Thanks Debbie! :)
Such a brautiful couple, creating some beautiful memorys to last a life time.
Have you looked at hobby lobby, they always have acrylic, oils, pastel, water colors, and supplies on sale.
Ok I am very sad today I lost another friend. She died last night. So I'm crying and looking thinking you should be on here by now you always cheer me up. So here we are. There was a moment on here I started laughing. You were in the car just got out of the store talking about the vest Peter looks at you Mary says how you feel about that? You start laughing.

We're so glad you're here Tanja!
Beautiful painting!! I wish I had a talent. I totally understand the end of an era. We just sold our house & will be moving in August. I love this house, but we have stairs & due to my disability I can’t climb them very much longer.
That painting is so beautiful. I cannot wait to buy a print!
The painting is beautiful!
Thanks Tammy!
I think the church turned out beautifully.
Thanks Lottie!
Love that you painted the church
Everything that’s part of both of you and Ollie
Means it’s part of us here at Colley Farm
Love you all ❤️❤️

Love hearing how you paint !!!! Would love a water color beginners class!!! Hope you are feeling better.
Excellent, painting is a great relax ant stress therapy!
Great job on the Painting......! xx

Beautiful painting!!!! I want one!!!
These blocks of paper usually have an unglued corner and you can insert something flat not so sharp (letter opener or back of a kitchen knife) to run it around the border to get of the first page without breaking the others.
Peter is an amazing partner . Mary you’re a Light, but tonight I’m shining a light on Peter because he’s also a light. Just realized all that he is and all that he does .
Ohh Ocean State! I haven’t thought about that place since my college days in New England!
Warm greetings from a fellow painter with a variety of health issues! I find a lot of ideas in your videos for dealing with my overall low energy, so thanks for sharing! Is that one of these watercolour pads with only one "loose" corner? If so, I use those a lot and cut the arches out with an ordinary bread knife (I just carefully approach the loose corner, put the knife tip under and start "sawing" along the edge). I would totally put the church painting into the online shop!
Thanks for the tips Frida and I'm so glad our vlogs are a source of encouragement/support for you!
The painting of the church looks so good. Its 100% better then anything I can do. What kind of church do you go to? I'm curious.
Thanks Hannah! And Peter pastors our church in MA Union Congregational Church. www.uniongrafton.org/
Beautiful painting
Thanks Serene Succulent TM!
To get the painting out of the book you can use a razor, sharp knife, or press a ruler down hard and it will tear straight
Painting looks great hun.

Good luck moving to your new house in North Carolina Mary and Peter
