First up, Yes, I'm still working on my hex piece! I have to stitch down each triangle...all three sides but it's not easy. Having to fold, lift, maneuver this heavy piece is a challenge for me! Between my arthritis fingers and back, I'm trying to enjoy the process but some days it's not so much fun! But I'm getting there!!!
I'm also working on my beaded project after dinner/dishes, but it's been SO hot here in Michigan, even sitting out on the deck in the shade is too much. We've had 90 degree weather for over a week or two. No hurry on this piece...it's just something to fill in-between my hex piece.
I have to show what I purchased from Painted Lady Cabochons! I love these little birds! They are 2"x1" and just lovely!!!!
Sometime I will incorporate in my work...at the moment I'm not sure where...but I can see these cabochons on one of my little totes??!!
Several years ago, in 2013!!! I purchased one of Brenda's cuffs! You can see that post here. That post shows one of her cuffs but here is the cuff I purchased. I wear it often..folks will comment on it! It sitll looks great!
I've bought my grand daughter a phone holder and key chains!!! Wish I had pics of them!!! Check out Brenda's FB page, Painted Lady Cabochons or her website here.
I don't see any cuffs or other items on her web site/FB page..so I'm glad I still have my cuff!!!
Your hexies project is a challenge for sure, and a long haul effort. But it's a great concept and looking so good. Love the cuff and cabochons, and I must say that your family wins first prize when it comes to holiday feasts! Those meats look delicious, and the whole appetizer grazing area is yum. I think your temps and others have outstripped Florida in the past couple of weeks. It does sap your energy. Hope you get a cool down.
ReplyDeleteYes that is a lot of fabric to wrestle with! Looks like a wonderful spread for the 4th! It has been brutally hot and muggy here too in NE Ohio. I spent the 4th and 5th blowing my nose and stayed home.
