My creative space


More with the hexies...

I knew I had an appointment thismorning where there would be a bit of waiting, so lastnight I very dutifully made up a nice little batch of hexies to take with me.



Unfortunately I forgot to factor in that the appointment was with the Eye Specialist. So in the first waiting room, I was squeezed in shoulder to shoulder with no room to get out my little hexie kit.

Half an hour of waiting went by (past my scheduled appointment time I might add - and three people who arrived after me had already been called)! Finally, I was called in to do the testing and have those horrible pupil dilating drops put in.

On to the second waiting room.
Get out my hexie kit and decide on placement of each hexie.
Happy with co-ordination of hexies.




Problem.
Cannot see well enough to thread the bloody needle. Aaaagggghhhh!


So I sat there, and sat there, and played with my phone and stared into space for another hour and a half.

Oh my goodness, I think it sucked the life force out of me. I'm so O.V.E.R sitting in waiting rooms.

So, two and a quarter hours later, having missed a work meeting that I was supposed to attend at 11.30, and $120 poorer, my eyes are still fine even after more than 15 years of taking a medication that can damage them.

After that nightmare, I did what every good crafter does, I went shopping for fabric, cappucino and lemon tart.... and everything was alright in the world again.

Phew!

I had a little photoshoot at my place this week, so I finally re-covered my boring old lampshade with one of my own fabric designs.


Comfy?

Mr Limpy Houdini Dogs friends have gone back home, so he's back to his normal routine:
  • Sleep on Nanas chair
  • Get up and eat
  • Sleep on couch
  • Get up and eat
  • Sit staring out front door and bark at anyone who dares to walk past 
  • Sleep under my feet
  • Go outside and bark at some birds
  • Sleep on couch
  • Get up and eat
  • Go back to sleep on Nana's chair

Most of the creative stuff took place on the computer this week, so I don't really have much to show. Stay tuned though, because there are new fabric designs due to arrive this week. Exciting!

In the meantime, I shall get back to my hexies...

Sunday Snippets

It's Sunday isn't it? I'm still in holiday mode... forgettting which day is what!


I'm dogsitting at the moment... I swear she's Mr Limpy Houdini Dog's secret illegitimate love child.

Are you sensing a bit of theme to my week too?

New! Hexagon Fabric


There's much excitement around these parts today as my new fabric design is now available.



I've had the hexie-fever for a little while now...


.... and I've been dreaming of a hexie dress for summer (after the 422* other things on the wish list)



In the meantime, you can find hexies in either a white base or a grey base in the shop.

*might be a slight exaggeration

My Creative Space


Well there hasn't been any action on the sewing machine this week, but I've managed to spend most evenings playing around with photoshop instead.

Everywhere I look at the moment, I see hexagons. Lots of the quilters are sewing along with their hexagons and tagging them with #HexyMF. I had no clue what the tag meant until I asked Bron.

I'm not a quilter, and I'm most definitely not a hand stitcher, so I'm playing with hexagons in my own way instead.


What I would really love to do is to print my own hexie fabric and make myself a hexie dress.

What do you think?
