"Habitat gives us an opportunity which is very difficult to find: to reach out and work side – by – side with those who have never had a decent home – but work with them one a completely equal basis.

On the Fourth Day of Home Sweet Home, Loveland Habitat for Humanity’s supporters gave to us, a vendor with Beah - u-ti-ful handmade items so you don’t have to fuss!

Beah’s Gourds

My name is Patti and my mother’s name is Barbara. Over the years though, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren have nick-named he Beah (Be-uh). We will be vendors at the upcoming Home-Sweet-Home. I’ve been manipulating hot glass since 1999. At the Home Sweet Home event, I will feature hand blown and painted glass ornaments as well as straws made of Pyrex glass.

My daughter Sarah is one of the lucky recipients of a Habitat home that is being constructed right now in Willow Park. She makes beautiful bookmarks. She digs through my bowl of “orphan beads” made at the torch and combines them with other elements to somehow make what I have rejected, look amazing and beautiful. We’ll be sure to have a nice selection of her artwork on hand also.

But the real star of our show is my mother Beah. She is known state-wide for her amazing gourd art. For the past 20 years she has grown, dried, carved and painted her gourds. She is an amazing artist and somehow captures the human spirit and whimsical animals in her beautiful gourds.

Be sure to stop by our booth and check out the amazing artwork by Beah. Normally she only appears at 1 craft fair per year and there is always a long line. We are so lucky she has agreed to come to the Home Sweet Home event!

Thank You Thrivent!

Jessica and her son are settling into their new Habitat home thanks to the generosity of Thrivent Financial which contributed 55% of the cost of the home and the local Thrivent/Lutheran community who were generous with their time, resources, and efforts. Loveland Habitat for Humanity is one of dozens of affiliates nationwide who have been recipients of Thrivent Financial funding during the past 6 years, leading to increased capacity.

On Saturday, Oct. 22, family, friends, volunteers, and members of the community gathered to celebrate the dedication of her home. Dedications are a time to celebrate all the hard work, sweat equity, and the special moment where a key is presented to the new homeowner. There’s laughter, tears, and realization that another dream of homeownership has been fulfilled. For Jessica, she couldn’t wait to personalize their home with walls “any color they want.” “Thank you Thrivent Financial, and members and friends of the Thrivent and Lutheran communities. Others have stability, hope for a better future, and a safe decent, affordable place to call home because of you,“ she added.
