new project........







Here is my first block of 'Frosty Flakes' BOM from Dawn .I used a red metallic red thread and star buttons and a beige/off white Aurifil thread for the backstitching and lazy daisies, there are some tiny seed beads in the centre of the lazy daisies...but probably too small to see.
These hexagons are small, sides measuring 1/2". A very creative friend of mine is making some neat things with hexagons you can pop over for a visit here. I used Sewline Glue pen instead of thread basting...much quicker and less fiddly...I got my pen from www.thecountryyard.co.nz

OK, Ok ....to all who know me......I think once or twice I've said I wasn't going to start ANYTHING new......BUT a gal has her weakness'!!!!!!
Have a great weekend.

  2. I bought a glue pen, didn't know what I wanted it for, just thought it was a good idea! Thanks for the idea, I may have to do some hexagons... But I have a lot of projects on the go too! But I haven't promised not to start anything new.hehe
