Routine

Just sitting and waiting hasn't been good for my hand work. I would have thought that it was but I wasn't taking into consideration the emotional side. So while I was away I hardly lifted my needle.
But now that I'm back home I am making up for lost time.

Dorian is holding down my fabrics to keep them from blowing away, apparently

The red and white hexies were just too boring. So I had planned to remake them.
Here is my first bright and colorful hexie. Quite a difference!

The plan now is to use red, Orange, pink and purple. The background fabric that the hexie is laying on will be the linking constant throughout the quilt.
I'm hoping to complete a row each week. First week, 7 hexies. Second week, 6 hexies. And so on.

I also started a new idea.

Blogger likes to mess with me and rearrange my photos after they import!
My new idea using a few of my new reds that I recently ordered.
I'm just going to take my time with this and see where it goes. So far so good. I'm liking the color combo. It sure seems dull compared to these new hexies, but it's still me.

Now back to hexie two.

No one can say these are boring!
These are great fun to work on in front of the TV.
They are quite easy. The hardest part is choosing fabrics. The actually sewing doesn't take much time at all.
I turned on Netflix and was looking for something to listen to. You know, something to hear and not necessarily watch.
I've heard a lot of talk about Downton Abbey and I had watched a few but I just wasn't into it. Maybe because I was watching mid season and didn't know the characters yet.
Anyway, I turned it on and started listening. before I knew what happened (it may be that I related to Mary) I was hooked.
I finally turned it off about 10:30 last night. Of course that doesn't mean the fur babies sleep in any later either. But I may have to catch up with Mary before I have a nap.

Take care, Brandie
