I've been so inspired by all the little houses I have seen cropping up on ETSY and Flickr. I decided that I had to make some for myself. So, I started humming "Little Boxes"...you know, the theme for "Weeds" and got my fingers moving to the music and these are what came of it. This first one above is a little Valentine gift for my daughter and her paramour. I had such great fun making it that I was inspired to make a second to give to a coworker who loves gnomes. I think I'm going to have to make some more. They're addictive.
Unfortunately, I took the pics late one evening and the shadows are a bit harsh, but I wanted to get these done so I could give them. Well, these are great therapy and the recipients seem to like them so all is good.

Hi Elizabeth,
Those are darling!!
What are they made of?
Hope all is well with you.
Best wishes, Nancy
Thank you Nancy...I made them from polymer clay and then I painted them, used bits of paper and glitter. Thank you for checking in on me...Elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth,
I love the houses. They are unique and certainly one-of-a-kind. Just like you, my friend. I know that your crafts are so beautiful and made with gentleness, kindness, and uniqueness....Tina Kaye

These are just wonderful! I used to make little wooden fairy houses for a local show - haven't thought of them in years, but yes, they ARE addictive!! You should absolutely make more of these!
