This little delapidated house was my great grandmothers home, My great Grandfather Robert built it.They lived there and had over 20 children in this very house. There was no power, no running water, and no phones. its a long way from the nearest town or hospital, so when babies got sick and died, they were buried on the property. This little house, leans badly, has termites, and is unfit to live in anymore, but in the late 1800's and early 1900's it was filled with laughter, heartache and joy... They fended for themselves, grew and raised their own food, there was no towns or shops to visit.....It has 4 rooms, eating, cooking, sleeping rooms x 2. The kitchen had a dirt floor, with a big old wood stove, and a sink, but the water was from the well out back. We have no idea how good we have it today. It was recently sold for a pittance, and im told will be demolished for an industrial estate in that now growing region.....a treasured memory. I used the wonderful scraps of darkness October All hallows eve kit.....www.scrapsofdarkness.com and I also used my own handmade flowers that I learnt to make watching the tutorial by jen (Jrabs) over at scraps of darkness.....you should try it.....they are gorgeous!
