Picture of the house that I grew up in from the age of 6. I thought that since my young sister has left her home state to go back to the place where her children are I thought that I'd do this for her Birthday with the old key to the back door . Sadly the house is no longer there due to our Father passing away . I had the photo printed onto Fabric and then I embroidered some flowers over the original flowers by sorting through designs and taking out the flowers that I thought was as real as the ones that were there. Dad being a great gardiner. My friend Diane( Mumfinch) framed the picture for me Hope you all like

Juanita, thanks it was a really old house, by the time it was sold, poor old thing had seen better days

by roslyn 29 Aug 2011

The first house where we were till I was 6 is now a "bra outlet" and being only young never had any photos till this one. It means a lot to Robyn as she was born here as well as the other brother.

Need I say that I am her Favourite sister and she is mine. We get on so well together But things had gone down the gurgler for a number of years now we are so close again.

Thank you . I am rather pleased with the way it's turned out

by roslyn 29 Aug 2011

I think she will, Hope she has room on her walls for it

by roslyn 29 Aug 2011

Thank you Joanne. Had this idea a few years ago and glad now that it's completed and turned out well. I could still have done more to it but I was rushing against time. Left things to the last minute

Thanks Shirlene. I was going to do one for me. I've just been thinking I might do one of the MIL place and give to the SIL Still thinking on that idea

Thank you. The tree to the right of the front door was a "camelia" tree and was always loaded with flowers. and to the left was "hydrangas" in bluey/purple

by roslyn 28 Aug 2011

Thank you

by roslyn 28 Aug 2011

It was an old house and there were 5 of us children so where did we sleep? as it had only 2 bedrooms and the "outhouse ". at the back. Yes we did have great times we were poor but always had food on the table.

by roslyn 28 Aug 2011

Thank you Maria. As you can see the house was really getty past it when this photo was taken. We think the house was built in the lat 1800's but not too sure

by roslyn 28 Aug 2011

Thank you so much

by roslyn 28 Aug 2011

Don't worry I already have the "hankies" packed.

by roslyn 28 Aug 2011

Thank you so much.

by roslyn 28 Aug 2011

I was going to give this to Robyn for her Housewarming a few years ago and din't get around to making it then. BUT now that she has moved interstate it will be well received I think

by roslyn 28 Aug 2011

Thank you Monika

by roslyn 28 Aug 2011
