A couple of days worth of hexies....

 This is not what I was going to do with my days off this week, but once the mending and hottie cover I mentioned in my previous post were taken care off I fell down the hexie hole. And I have a happy pile of hexie flowers to show for it.

There are some very pretty fabrics being used in this latest batch of flowers. The flower at the top of this image, with the dark centre has more pink in real life. It's still dark here this morning, so the lights are on and as you know that can mess with the camera.

I have a couple of small chores to do today, then my time is my own. I don't plan to stitch hexies, but we will see where my muse takes me. My box of prepped hexies is running low, so I will need to find some fabric scraps to make more.

I do have fabrics pulled for a very special quilt. I have a whole year to make it, so no rush but you know how quickly a year can pass! I keep on telling myself I should make a start. Then we have another cold dark wet day and I curl up in my chair with some hand work.

Speaking of hand work, my cross stitch Bee needs only one wing and some back stitch......

My batik EPP is here waiting for me.....

My Chookshed challenge is here waiting for me.....

The Christmas ornaments I have kitted are waiting for me....

Oh! I forgot to mention... I completed last months Chookshed challenge. I used my rulers while I was quilting the hottie cover. Yay!
