The Bum House Postcard


Here is the Bum House Postcard underway. A fair bit of the background will be trimmed away at the end. I have to tell you that it is giving me plenty of entertainment, so even if Daniel doesn't laugh, it has worked it's magic. Did you all notice the black circle between the cheeks?

I used a scrap of fusible web I got from Helen, and have done a little bit of top stitching so far. I learnt from my first card to do all the top first before getting excited and fusing it all together before I was finished. However, I am still not able to get the mirror image fusible web thing. Luckily the letters are all able to be turned upside down or over. The green bit of the house had to be cut and pasted to get the shape though.

Speaking of Helen, she has started her cross-stitch, which is the main thing. She'll get into it I know. It is light-hearted pestering, so don't worry. She won her old-fashioned mother and daughter apron pattern on ebay, so that will be fun.

  1. The Postcard looks great. Great likeness of the BUM house - black hole and all. Love the giant butterflies in the sky. I'm sure he will find it wonderfully funny.

  2. Nice job on the house. I love the background fabric. I wonder if butterflies that big would be dangerous? Lol.

  9. So what's the origin of the name "Bum House"? That house has a shape just begging to be depicted in fabric. Your postcard looks great.
