Saturday...

First a  big 
...THANKYOU ... 
to all out there trying to help me with the Mgazine...
You are amazing!!!
Happily everything have been solved.. think the magazine is on its way!!
Thanks to Jane!!! :o)

Otherwise ...
Have to face the facts that I have a really messed up head....
Cant´sew... cant decide on what to sew... 
and definitly not chose colours...!!
Ahhh!!!

So while I aint sewing  I shop!!! :o)
These I got just after Christmas...
Bought a cute bundle from Brenda Riddle at the Acorn Company!!

Georgia Lou
Havent touched it yet... 
yes touched and touched.. but not SPLIT!!  :o)

And I also bought these...
So Yummy!!!!
Brenda is the sweetest!! 
She even added some extra goodies in the mail...
some extra wool pieces... 
What  a lady!! 

 Yesterday I decided... 
I have to get out of my 
Sewing Blues...
Maybe there is some kind of step program for this...
(step one.. touch fabrics..  and so on..lol )

So I grabbed this pile!!!
Brew me some tea.. 
and even picked out some nice patterns...
went upstairs..
and NOPE... 
I just couldnt!!

BUT...
Had some lovely emails from Shirley...
and I think she have to be my mental coach...
Cause she got me into this!!!

Hexagons!!
A one step program for getting back to sewing..
She called it 
...One Stitch at A Time...
"The Healing Power of Stitching"

And I am so Happy that I actually have used needle and thread
Three Flowers are Sewn.. Yippie!!! 
Thanks Shirley!!

So this is what I have done today...
prepared more hexagons so I can sit and sew 
and watch tonights competition and vote for which song that will compete
 in The Eurovision Song contest in May, Dusseldorf, Germany!
So see you ..

  5. That's my girl. I knew you could do it and that it would be beautiful. Before you know it that fabric pile will be transformed into something that has your own unique style stamped all over it. Meanwhile, a hexagon a day keeps the blues away.
    Love Shirley.xx

  8. Oh, those Georgia Lou fabrics are delicious to look at...so pretty. I would have a hard time splitting them up. All I want to do is stare at the beautiful colors.

    You're so funny :) :) It's hard to decide on a sewing project ;) :) I want 10 pairs of hands so I can make a bu nch of things at the same time. Your hexagons are beautiful. The lines are so neat and clean. Mine are messy...:) :)

    Have a lovely weekend :) :) Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)

  11. Jeg syntes de ordene:The healing power of stiching ,var så bra at jeg måtte ha dem med i et innlegg hos meg!
    Lekre farger på stoffene dine, og hexagons er veldig kjekke å sy:)
    Ha en fin dag !

  13. WOW, for noen vakre stoffer du har. Jeg kan bekrefte at det hjelper å ta å føle på stoffene hvis du har sy-vegring. Et aldeles nydelig innlegg fra deg.
    Ha en strålende og kreativ uke:-)

  14. Oooh, hey now, I like those sweet little birds in the center of the hexagons! Too darn cute!

  15. Oh I do love that pile of FQs you got, the colors are right up my alley:-)

    I often hav a problem with what to do next when one project is finished. But I have another (and bigger?) problem - when I sew I don't read books and when I read good/great books, I can't find the energy to sew. I don't think even hexagons would help:-O
