Home, sweet home! New home canvas designs



Some days are busy ... I have decided to go back to my day job two days a week since both of my boys are at school this year. Due to my organisational side, I have timetabled my time, so that I can fit in my crafty work, housework and any preparation needed for my day job during the week. Needless to say, I am working very hard with the time that I have on the days that the boys are at school. On my working days, I have to be very organised so that dinner can be on the table, homework done and the house clean with the very little time that I have when I come home. However, I am enjoying it! I am loving the big blocks of time that I have to get work completed. I am also enjoying the couple of days allocated to me with my day job - keeping my skills in touch.

Home is a place where I work. Home is a place that I organise and clean. Home is a sanctuary from stresses and worries. Home is a place where I nurture my family. Home is a place where I can relax and enjoy my own activities. Depending on our circumstances and focus, home may look very different, but there may be aspects that are very similar.

I have added to the 'home' canvas design by creating two different looking ones, both sparked by a custom order...

I wanted to create another 'traditional' looking house - one with straight sides and triangular roof, however, this one has one central chimney, rounded door and one rectangular window (complete with lacy curtain).


The second one is a little more modern in design, with rounded roof and small circular windows (with little lacy curtains).

Both have been created to add a little decorative, homely warmth to a house and a reminder that we are blessed to have a home to raise our families, to play in and to relax in.

Thanks for stopping by! Until next time ...

A house with character

There is something about houses that intrigues me... I find myself looking in the real estate advertising pages, admiring the quirks and the features of different homes.

After glancing through a craft book, I found adorable, miniature houses. I was then inspired to create my own version of a miniature house, complete with roof and tiny, little windows. Using the artistic, mixed media style that I have adopted, I then transferred that to the pattern I developed to create a unique, miniature house. I just had to have a feature window (the heart) and a removable base to allow a battery operated, tea light candle to be placed in the middle.

I hope to create more of these 'sweet abodes' soon...
