Take a Word-Home

This week Grannie Annie of The Whimsey Asylum is this week's guest artist at Take A Word and I am Dee-lighted!  I love her work!  She's like, my artist hero!  Truly!
Her creations have a lovely heartfelt story that go with them and it conjures up comfy cozy memories of home and hearth.
But not mine.
When I thought of home, I thought of how I would like to sell my place and move into a smaller home, because I can't keep this place clean-it's way too big for me now.
Thus:
And that's the truth.

    I love this, Electra. It made me smile on a very hot Monday morning here in Western Australia. It is quirky and whimsical and the design is superb.

    Great artwork! Thanks so much for joining in the challenge this week.

    Cheers from Marie, aka Ozstuff.

    I've always said when I'm old and decrepit and in my rocking chair I doubt if I'll be saying "I had such a great time back there cleaning the house ...!" Think about it. Great expressive art. Well done!
