Tropical Hexies

You should have seen me and my hexies in Aruba, a bit ridiculous, they went everywhere with me! I actually think they had a really great holiday! LOL
Seriously, it was really humid and in the evenings it felt like I had to fight to survive the mosquitos. Anyhoo, you get the gist: not a lot got done. But One Flower did,


and actually, when I count all the hexies that got prepped, and the diamonds that got finished from last year, it is not a shabby turnout!


Now, the funniest thing happened: we were driving along and what do I see?


Honestly, I had to drag my hubby the very next day to take a picture: this happened last wednesday and I thought: PERFECT! ONE FLOWER WEDNESDAY! No one will believe THIS! (unfortunately the internet connection was so slow and my laptop battery leaving so much to be desired... Good thing Wednesdays have a tendency of coming along once a week!)



now, really, sometimes too much is just toooo much, even for me!
:)

I can't wait to see everyone's new blooms and gardens, I certainly have missed you all!

    Die ziet er inderdaad behoorlijk tropisch uit. En geweldig, hè, zoals je overal hexjes ziet, als je eenmaal aan de hexabloemen bent begonnen. Mooi, je diamanten!

    A really tropical flower to remember a great holiday! And do the owners of that house wouldn't want to give/sell you a flower?

    Your diamonds look so lovely in the sunshine. I'm tempted to play with diamonds perhaps.
    Hexies really are everywhere! :o)

    How did I miss commenting on this before? Cute story, and the photos are the proof. I think my hubbie would have agreed to go back too. Mine is more involved in what I do than he would probably like to admit.

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
