DAYS 25-29 CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY

Day 29-I love this old olive oil can and this old book. Put them together and "Voila!"


A house!




















Day 28-Just a fun drawing with gel pens on black paper.

Day 27-A fun drawing in my mini-sketch book.

Day 26-June 26th was my husband and my 40th wedding anniversary. So the home for today is The House of the Lord-the temple-the most important house of all! Here we are 40 years ago. Day 25-Here are my birds looking for a new home in the want ads in the Nester's Journal since papa bird shrunk their old home.

DAYS 23 AND 24-CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY

This is the month we celebrate the birthdays of three granddaughters, two children and our anniversary.
Today our daughter was visiting with her two children and we celebrated her darling daughter Robyn's birthday with a cake, gifts, bubbles and sidewalk chalk. Here is Robyn.
Day 24-Here is my house for today, drawn with sidewalk chalk and a little help from our granddaughter Emma.

Here's the budding artist. Doesn't she have the most beautiful blue eyes? Robyn has blue eyes too but they are overpowered by her Shirley Temple curls!

Day 23 House-"Honey, I shrunk the birdhouse!" I didn't make the birdhouse but I did make the birds!

DAY 20, 21 AND 22-CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY

Day 22-I started a set of notecards using the wacky house idea. They are a lot of fun.

Day 21-We had soup and crackers for dinner. The crackers didn't make it into my mouth.Day 20-My first notecard.

Day 19-CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY

I did this drawing in my little journal during church. It's a good thing I got it done then because we've been on the phone most of the day with family since it's Father's Day. Thanks for calling everyone! (Two more days of creating homes and it will be 21 days. I read somewhere that if you do something for 21 days in a row it becomes a habit!)

Our peonies are finally in bloom. I brought these giant blooms in the house so we can enjoy them.

Days 16, 17 and 18 CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY

Saturday, June 18th. This wacky house looks like it's in the middle of the ocean and rocking on a stormy sea which is about what I feel like today. I have a horrible headache and back pain so it was a miracle I even got this done. When I looked at it I thought, "Ha! That house looks exactly how I feel!" Friday's house--I finally finished another square of my hooked house pillow. Believe me, these are not fun, especially when one is allergic to wool! Only one more to go.

Thursday's house turned out fun! I love these wacky houses. No worries about matching anything. Unmatched makes for more wacky!

Day 15-CREATING A HOME EVERDAY

Wow! It is only 1:10 in the afternoon and I already have my home for today finished and I'm posting it on my blog! All I can say is that these wacky houses are fun and easy. Hope you like it!

Day 14-CREATING A HOME EVERYDAY

Day 14-Today I decided I could sew up a house quilt block in a manageable time frame. I decided to look on line to see if there were any patterns. I found a picture of a quilt that was done as a block exchange. All the houses were "wacky houses." I decided I likes that idea and promptly designed and made a "wacky house" block. These are way fun because they can be as wacky as I want. I paper pieces it which didn't work everywhere so I ended up having to turn some edges under and sew it by hand. The background fabric is fabric I have had for years! It's blue sky with clouds and spider webs of all things. I will probably design lots more wacky houses and make more squares (they are eight inch squares) because I can always make them into a quilt for one of my nine granddaughters.
