I love hand sewing and I've been trying to resist but...resistance is futile! I kept happening across little Gardens growing on blogs and the need to grow my own Garden was irresistable. I had promised myself to finish off my Tail Feathers quilt before starting a new quilt...these are only tiny though and they're super quick to make with a cup of coffee so I think they can almost be overlooked as an altogether new project :) Here's my one flower for this Wednesday - would have been more but my preparation time went out of the window yesterday when school phoned to tell me that Matthew was poorly...one nasty 24 hour tummy bug later and he's back running around again I'm glad to say.
1/2" hexagons made the Inklingo way
Now to figure out my get out clause for starting on some Klosjes...I've been eyeing those up for ages. I think the reasoning is the same as for the Garden...they're small, they're a cup of coffee's worth of stitching and they're fun!
p.s I went out into the sunny garden to take a photo of my flower only to find my camera battery was flat...hence the rather uninteresting scanned pic for this week!
That's pretty. I look forward to seeing your garden grow.
Btw, Harry will be on his way home to you very soon.

happend to me too. Looking at the flowers and couldn't resist. I'm trying not to look at the 'klosjes' though. Hope I can resist that until i have some finished projects..
Like the flower!

Your flower is wonderful -- they stitch up so quickly you'll have a garden full in no time! The klosjes? Addictive!!
