my wonky house neighborhood

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
You know what's fun? Getting mail from Australia. They have really cute stamps over there and need to use a LOT of them to send stuff across the globe. I forgot to photograph that though, so use your imagination. (think tropical fish, sea turtles... coral reef!!)



These are the wonky house blocks Erika, (@guildthelily on instagram) made me for  the far flung bee we started a while back. Someone got creative! The little weenie dog is my favorite part, not to mention the clothesline and vegetable garden. That confetti sky... I adore them.



The group shot so far, a little funky neighborhood being built block by block by a bunch of quilty peeps across the globe. Gives me the warm and fuzzies, I tell ya. Happy Wednesday!

wonky house bee blocks

My mailbox is starting to fill up with my Far Flung Bee blocks! Essie sent these lovelies all the way from Australia and they arrived just a few days ago.

Aren't they darling? I love the flower gardens in the one on the right, as well as the owl perched up top on the roof. She says the one on the left is a house full of "Bennet sisters," inspired by the book/movie Pride and Prejudice. How neat is that?

As for Elizabeth's blocks, she had some inspiration as well. Since I've spent the last few months falling madly in love with my fiance, Jon, she thought my houses should be in the shape of a heart! I think it's a totally cute idea and am so pleased she thought of it.

While the fabric, style and size of these blocks differ quite a bit, by the end of our six month bee I will have plenty of others to mix in to make a unique, quirky, little neighborhood of happy houses. Have any of you all participated in bees? What do you think of them? This is my first and so far it's been a blast :D
