A Wonky House for Pippi!

For some bizarre reason, I was up earlier than usual on Sunday (must have been the anticipation of heading to the coast later that morning!).

Anyways, I had a whole hour to fill before going to church, so I thought I'd have a crack at a wonky house for Bee Blessed.

It only took an hour to make!


This was even more fun to make than the Pippi block! 

There are some lovely ones being released onto the market over on our flickr page!

If you fancy having a go and donating a block to Bee Blessed, here are the tutorials for the wonky house block:

Well, tonight marks the end of my Easter break.  We had a lovely few days away, watching lots of films (Jane Eyre, Real Steel, Hugo to name a few!) and eating way too much chocolate and rubbish!  It was relaxing and lovely (the sun even made an appearance, in between the hail showers!).

Being the 'home girl' that I am, it's always lovely to get back to my own home, and especially my own bed!!  I have to confess to replying to a few work related enquiries today, but that's what it's like being self-employed.

Tomorrow, I'm going shopping for a new pair of jeans (I live in jeans but I've ripped an unsightly hole in my regulars!) and then back into the sewing room!  Wish me luck!

I hope you've all had a lovely Easter break!

    I love that it looks like the front door is left open and the entire house is stuffed with olives. Bliss!

  14. Love Pippi's house! Good luck with the jeans shopping - I'm with Sarah, it's a nightmare! (Such a nightmare in fact that if I find some that fit nicely I tend to buy two pairs as I know it could be years until I find some more!)

  15. I live in jeans too...I hate when a favourite pair rips..but then again, that gives you some denim to do something fun! :o)
