For the August 2025 Create challenge, I am doing a variation on the stated theme, one that I hope you will enjoy! At 92 years old, I can no longer take the new classes offered on the Create website. Instead, I am going back in time to a completed project from a past class that I took in 1995 with Pam Junk at the NAME Convention in Chicago. While it happened 30 years ago, I still remember vividly the start of the class because it was the day that my first grandson was born.
The theme of the class, titled “the house that Junk built,” featured a 3-story Tudor style quarter-scale home, designed with a magnificent stucco exterior and decorative timber detailing. I am proud to say that I completed Pam Junk’s very complex house kit, it was up to me to add other details and items – some from Pam Junk kits and others of my own creation.
I started my personalization by giving the house a new name: “the Old Homestead” after a family home. In the months after the class ended, I continued to work on the exterior of the house, including: creeping ivy vines (made from model train tree greens) on the façade and several beds of realistic-looking flowers (from a Pam Junk kit) in the front yard. The side yard includes a garden area with a large tree (made of twisted wire and branches from model train greens), a bird’s nest, bird bath, bird house, and mini garden. The other side of house – accessed via a gravel path (made with miniature railroad stones) -- features a trellised arbor, cozy seat and garden with another smaller tree. Pam Junk designed the home’s interior with electric lights and picturesque wood beams, making it the ultimate blank canvas for further customization. But I will save that discussion for a future challenge.

I finished McGregor’s House. Such fun. Here are some photos.
Thanks again Shaun. It was a great class and I’m so glad I was able to attend.
For now, I’m displaying it on the shelf above our TV. I like how the light above the TV illuminates the windows. Plus I can admire it while I’m sitting here in the sofa ☺️
