The sweetest house in the whole wide world

Where we love is home – home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.

The house on the picture means a great deal to me. It has such a sweet appearance too, I even like to think it has a bit of a face, a very sweet one I’d say. The picture shows it in all her old-days glory, with thriving blossom in the trees of her front garden. Oh, how much I would want to go back to those days, if only for a couple of minutes!

Alas, I can’t pick up the house and put it in my pocket, but I can cherish the memories that lie on that very spot and take them where ever I go. So…what’s nicer than turning something so dear into a creative project?

I traced the picture and used this site to turn it into an embroidery pattern. (I’m sure there are lots of websites that facilitate it too, this one is in Dutch.) It’s very simple and fast and it’s just the perfect project to do during this wonderful slow holiday season.

I’m taking a small blog- and shopbreak to work on some more creative projects, be with loved ones and relax after a very busy year. Hope your Christmas was cosy and warm. Will be back before you know it!
