The Five of Us, Spring 2014

What We've Been Up To

25 March 2010


My husband and mother-in-law let me know I've been neglecting you, my dear readers. So, I don't have much to share, but what I have, I give to you.

First of all, I've been working on Elizabeth. I bought the new fabrics I needed and actually found one of the originals in the last store I visited! So, there are 27 different fabrics in this quilt! I've made the 24 Delectable Mountain blocks. Each of the 24 is unique--no two are exactly the same. After some little adjustments, they turned out awfully nicely! I'm pleased. These four are just a representation. But they may end up being the "chosen ones" that become the center of the finished quilt top!

The other tidbit I have for you is my dear Punky Punk showing his punkiest self! :) After seeing a friend proudly sporting his own "BA Barrachus" mohawk, Punk decided he could pull it off too! I actually really like it! It's very fun and makes people smile everywhere we go. He obviously has the attitude to pull it off!

Speaking of hair, Peapoddy will be getting her own spring makeover this week. It's Spring Break, so I'll have time to mess around. We'll be cutting loose the extensions, but who knows what style we'll end up with?! I'll be sure to post (in a timely manner!).

Talk To Me

I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
