The Homestead at Hickory View Retirement Community

Part 2 of the wood canvas art project has begun!

If you haven't guessed it by now, we are making string art. The men hammered all the nails in place and created some awesome designs. Check back to see the final result! We can't wait to see how it turns out.

During our weekly men's group, Earl and Frank prepped wood canvases for an art project that they are getting ready to start. They cut, sanded, and stained everything by hand. Stay tuned for part 2 of the project!

Any guesses on what we will be creating?

We have some very talented residents who live here at Homestead. They love to paint and create! They showcased their talents with landscape watercolor paintings.

Ollie has hand-strung over 6,000 rosaries that she has donated to various churches, organizations, family members, and friends over the years. She loves to give back to the community and doesn't have plans on stopping anytime soon!

The residents love to bake or anything cooking-related. They recently made homemade bread and garlic herb butter. They were thrilled at how it turned out and are already planning to make more loaves! Do you have any family recipes that we should try next?

Esther is a lover of flowers and anything related to gardening. We spotted her outside yesterday while she was giving our rose bushes some TLC!

Over the last few months, the ladies have made hundreds of pom-poms for a project that they had envisioned. They turned all of their pom-poms into colorful rugs for their apartments and couldn't be happier with how they turned out!
