My hobby started during the Covid shutdown, after cooking and eating everything in the house, 15 plus pounds what I like to call the "Pound-emic “I wanted to do something that made me happy every day. My husband was so so busy helping people via Telehealth 12 hrs. a day for months, so I decided to craft something that made me very happy as a child. I remembered back to when me and my sisters were young and loved to play what we called , "CARS" we would all take matchbox cars go outside and make dirt roads, bridges and cool driveways ( Susie always made the Best driveways) , (Sheila always had the best houses) , we would use a old bricks we found lying around in the yard to use for houses for our cars. With our matchbox cars, cool driveways and bricks for houses we would drive the cars around on the stick carved out dirt roads and bridges, go visit each other in our tiny town in our make-believe world in the yard. WOW, what fun we all had playing "CARS”. Who knew that playing "CARS” was such impressionable and memorable fun times as little girls. Well, that and of course there was BARBIE........... LOL, that’s another fun story. We are all grown now ready for the next chapter in our lives. After all of us finding and knowing how to LOVE life, successful careers, adventures, many fur babies we have all got incredible memories spending time together, the Great escape the Lord gave us to get to this beautiful life. I love my sisters very much. So, saying all that, my hobby makes me smile every day looking at the tiny houses I make for fun, for others, in hopes that these Butterfly kissed tiny houses make everyone smile. Sandi ferguson

We all need a hobby to get lost in for just a while to clear our head from the stresses and worries that our minds and every day events can create. Today I want to invite everyone to make a list of 10 things you really enjoy or have enjoyed in the past. After the list of hobbies is complete read each one out loud and remember how you felt when...... you rode horses, painted a picture, doodled a drawing, ( yep doodling is a great and wonderful escape) practiced calligraphy, made model cars... etc. you get the drift of the way to find the one escape for you and your mind to create white space, your space, just disappearing from all the junk in your head for a while, for me I start creating a tiny house made from wood , painting, or cutting wood windows, I look up, its been 4 hours with nothing else on my mind. wow, that's pretty cool. I ask you to give it a try. IT WILL BE A HAPPY, PERSONAL GROWING AND FREEING FUN TIME. (for just you)

Today has been a brainstorm kind of day, I have had so many new ideas about my new tiny houses hobby. Working on windows, they are always my challenge, then ready for bed late last night, IT HIT ME! a great idea. I think that sometimes an angel helps me out with figuring challenges out. It hit me like a bolt of lightening . When and idea that is this strong hits you, you have to attack it head on. I stayed up til 1:00 am working on the new bolt of lightening idea. It needs tweaking, but yes it a great new addition to my Butterflies and Hammers tiny house craft. Have a great afternoon.
