Scrap that Poetry's challenge poem is Home Sweet Home by John Howard Payne. A beautiful poem with a lot of inspiration throughout. Instead of creating a layout this fortnight, I chose to do some home decor. I bought a frame from M&S for just £4, and it's so lovely it was just calling out for some chintz. Using up my Fancy Pants - Roadshow papersI pieced together this little house.
I added some lace to the layers in the roof, which also opens up to reveal some hidden journalling about all the places we have lived and where we call home.
I sewed around the edges to give it a more homely feel. And the little "home" sign was embroidered onto some old cotton fabric from an underskirt of one of DD's dresses. Check me out being all thrifty! LOL.
