I took a break from making dolls to make five more wacky quilt blocks so I could finish my wacky house quilt. I intend to use it for a Christmas gift. So here are "Creating a Home Everyday" houses 101-105.

DAY 100-CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY
My computer's fixed and here are some houses I finished up so I could make at least 100. I started out with two sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 inch card stock and cut them to make square cards and got 3 cards out of each sheet. The smallest are about 1 inch square. My grandchildren love the "baby" house cards.

DAYS 85-99 CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY
Day 94-99 A house of cards. Okay, lots of houses made from old greeting cards I've been saving. I am trying to get caught up and these are easy and fun. I now have an entire village!
Day 91-93 I made houses cut out of watercolor paintings my two year old granddaughter and I painted. She's pretty good at painting and she had a lot of fun. So did grandma!
Day 90-I spent the afternoon with three of my granddaughters and my daughter and son-in-law at our local splash park. It's free! I took this picture accidentally and decided to post it as a home for the day.
Day 87-89 I found some Amish quilt postcards that I have been saving for years and decided they would be good materials to make houses from.
Day 86-I was playing around with the word house and came up with this design. Very rough I know, but it's hard doing something everyday!

DAYS 66-69 CREATING A HOME A DAY
Day 69-I didn't create this house. It's a photo of one from my collection of houses. I've been collecting houses for years. I love houses!
Day 68-Sunday drawing-This one got a little confusing with the leaves and the checkerboard on the roof.
Day 67-I love this one! It's a collage made from pages of a home decorating magazine. I put it in the journal I made at Artfest last April.
Day 66-I made another house card from our granddaughter Chalee's name. Her birthday is coming up.

DAYS 56-65 CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY
Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. After our son and his family left to go home we had two more house guests arrive for a visit and then our daughter came a few days later with her two kids. So we have a house full and I have gotten behind on creating houses but last night I stayed up late and made seven house cards to get caught up. So technically I should label my houses by numbers instead of days because I'm not actually doing them on the actual day. Oh well, for consistency I will continue to label them the same way that I have been doing.
I found my missing house for Day 37! Here's a house picture made from the letters of the name of one of my granddaughters.
Here's my creation for Day 65. It's my husband's observatory in our backyard.
Day 64-I love the shadows on this one!
Day 63-This wacky house just looks happy! I like it.
Day 62-A wacky windmill.
Day 61-A round house.
Day 60-Take a look inside this house.
Day 59-Townhouses!
This is a creature I made from plant material to inhabit the house for Day 58.
Day 58-A flower house created from vegetation growing in our yard. I can't really call it a garden because stuff just grows everywhere-not just where we plant it. It's kind of pretty though and although I would like a beautifully landscaped yard my husband likes the "natural look" and it's much more fun for the grandkids (and easier!) so for now the "natural look" is okay!
Day 57-My favorite time of the year where we live is the last two weeks of July and the month of August because all of the college kids go home and we start harvesting from our garden. Day 57's house is made from snow peas and raspberries from our garden. The tree is made from what happens when we let our carrots go to seed. Pretty seed flowers though, they remind me of Queen Anne's Lace. I might have to pick some and make an arrangement!
Day 56-Here's a house made from junk mail from an advertisement for the Museum of Women's Art.

DAYS 47-55 CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY
It's been awhile since I've posted any houses. I've been having the time of my life with my sons and grandchildren. See the previous posts for details of that experience!
Day 55-I created a small wool felted house. It's a bit wacky like my cards and quilt squares. I really want to start creating something a little different!
Day 54-This one is different. Day 52's houses all lined up in a row stationery was so boring. I went a little crazy with my house stamp and created this. I call it "Wild Houses Can't Keep Me Away." I really like getting wild and crazy. Must do it more often!
Day 53-I really didn't like the boring house stationery so made this one a little more crazy and added some lines and detail. Looks too much like my wacky houses.
Day 52-The boring houses in a row stationery.
Day 51-I drew a picture of what I imagined it would look like to look in the window of a rich person's house.
Day 50-My granddaughter Jordan drew this picture of a house. She's eight. Isn't it great!
Day 49-My grandson Cameron made this encaustic collage of a haunted house. It's fun to use guest artists to help me out!
My granddaughter Breana made this encaustic collage as a gift for her mom.
This is Jordan's encaustic collage. These three are my oldest grandkids and they did a great job. I didn't even have wax all over my kitchen!
Day 48-Guest artist Breana made this card.
Day 47-Guest artist Jordan loved making house cards. Here are three that she created. Thanks for sharing, Jordan!

Days 45 and 46-CREATING A HOME A DAY
Day 46-I created a pop up card out of card stock and collaged magazine cut outs. It's my dream cottage in the woods.
Day 45-I drew a basic house then made an M.C. Escher type design using graph paper. This is harder than it looks. I had to start in the middle and work out. It was fun. Someday I will try it again using a different house shape.
I may not be posting for a while (is that one word or two?) because my son and daughter-in-law and three grandchildren are coming to visit from Arizona. We are going to have fun!
