Home sweet home...

Today I made some hanging fabric houses. I made one months ago for my Dad as a house warming gift and have been meaning to make more for months. Each house is made from remnants of fabric left over from my other projects, therefore each is a slightly different shape and size depending on what I had left.  No two houses are the same, as you can see not only are they made from different fabric, but they each have a different design, some have lace around the roof, others have buttons for windows or door handles, some have numbers on the doors, others have ribbon; this makes each little house completely unique. I do love a bit of interior design, but exterior design... I would LOVE to live in a house with a polka dot roof!! I am also experimenting with taking different types of photos for my blog. Usually I just do boring photographs of the cards on my table or the bunting on the wall etc, but today I have done a little bit of staging with the houses and some doodling in the background to make a street for my houses to reside on.  Who would like to live on this street, you could all be my fabric house neighbours... xxx

    Thankyou cathy. They are all still separate at the moment, cant decide whether to make them into a garland or whether to keep them separate to sell at a craft fair I'm doing in the summer. I just pinned them together for the sake of the photo. But i think I will make a house garland. I've just realised they are all a bit wonky in the photo! haha, oh well the beauty of handmade is in the imperfections! xx
