Wednesday's Hexi-report

Three more Hexi-flowers for the sea-side garden.
I really love how they are turning out...
and looking forward to seeing visiting more garden-parties later today!
Can't wait to see what my Fellow Gardeners have been up to!
:)

It seems that these Rainbows of Charm Hexies are the only project truly thriving and slowly multiplying in the Summer Heat...

I love how these Yummy Candy Colours...






... are becoming deliciously cool Charm Diamonds!

I still have not stopped long enough to count how many 1" hexies I have prepped so far. But when I ran out of papers a few days ago, I decided it was time to take plunge. And guess what... Fresh never looked so Cool!

I am so happy with this project, and so far no repeats!
Ahhhh, life is Good!
:)









Thanks for helping me get through the heat. Your perspective, lovely wishes and wise advice is really making a difference and helping me cope. Thank you, guys...

  2. Valentina, WOW! I never saw so many hexies in one place, and they're gorgeous and an inspiration, as is your whole blog. Thanks for visiting my blog and "following" me! I DO love my backyard - peace and tranquility, and wherever that's found is God! Till we visit again, take care.

  17. Ooooooo Valentina....it is almost a pity to take any hexies out off these gorgeous boxes!!! Then again.... the diamonds are absolutely stunning too. Did you notice how the 3rd row almost looks transparent? Of course you did...it is just great design!

    I had a hard day today, trying to get work done in this heat, but then I was thinking of you and the really long summer with small children and I thought I'd better not complain. Hope to see you (I am finding a way..) while I am still here

My Patchwork Family Through Adoption

A Bit of Africa and China
Came knocking on our door
And in a home where there was longing
Now empty rooms no more

Like a Quilt of Many Colours
Our Family stitched together into One
God's Love and Grace for us Abundant
In the Miracle of our Sons
