The Little House on 5th East

This is what I have been working on for a long time now. It was interesting working on it.  I had to stop several times because it was just to hard.  But then once I got really going I couldn't wait to see the finished project. (it helped that my supplier was having a sale to motivate me to work through the emotions and finish) 

I often felt more at home at my grandparents house than anywhere else in the world. I wanted to be able to remember the house long after I was able to visit it.   Other than the piece by Brad Caldwell it has no words.  I debated long and hard on that but I wanted those who look at it to be able to associate it with their own memories.  I would like someday to put together a companion piece with memories.  And anyways the book would be too long and I wouldn't be able to afford to print it if I included all my memories.  There are just to many.  But I will record them all soon so that I don't forget.

Great job, but this post makes me a little sad. Sad for your loss and the loss that we all have had in our lives. Grandparents are the best!
