Couldn't Resist

After reading all about a certain vintage sheet hexie quilt top, and after seeing these little beauties, and when for some inexplicable reason I came home with this in my arms:

....the only logical thing left for me to do was to make some hexies.  So I played with one size of hexie:

(too big); and then another:

and decided on the smaller of the two to applique to this little bag I also made.  It's made from a thrifted, then felted pure wool sweater.  It's only for kids, but that's okay (for now).

Inside lined with fabric matching the hexie flower of course:

And despite the warnings of every blog post and book on hexies, I didn't heed them.  And I kept on making more hexies.  For no other reason than just to make them.  And now, of course, I cannot for the life of me stop.  sigh   

But! I discovered I can make hexies while reading a book, eating a meal, drinking a cuppa tea, and even watching several episodes of Battlestar Gallactica with my men (which is a whole other story).  I think I have happened upon the most ideal work suited to my timetable at the moment.  It's satisfying and fun and almost instant gratification.

While taking the above outdoor photos (in the drizzle!! grrr), this little treasure winked at me from my garden ... gosh I love this little rose X :)

And my pooch who spent a lot of time yesterday evening on the couch beside me, being my nice heated furry cushion on which to rest my arm while I stitched. 

Good boy Cody :)
