My mood has been up and down lately, so I took a break from blogging as I didn't feel like writing.  Sometimes you just have to follow your feelings, just as I did again today when I knew it was time to start writing again. 

You might remember I posted a pic of my hexies for my knitting bag laid out a little while ago, well here they are made up into a gorgeous fabric - I so want to make a skirt out of hexagons ... must put it on my wish list ...

One side of the bag ...

the other side of the bag ...
It always seems when there's a change in seasons there's always a plague of bugs and infections rampaging about.  Apart from the big boys everyone else in the family has come down with a nasty mix of sinus and ache-y symptoms.  Today I stopped trying to be supermum and sat down in my big red chair, listened to some Florence and the Machine whilst doing some handsewing - see I felt so poorly I didn't even want to get my sewing machine out!   But I did find rest and solace in my hexagons - and to think last night I was wondering if I was actually coming to the end of my hexagon craze (I was taking out the paper templates which I do find very boring).


I'm going to line the bag with this vintage curtain fabric I found in the local op shop - I think they might actually be fabric samples and I've been wondering what I could do with them ... this will be perfect ...

Hopefully I'll finish the bag in the next couple of days and I can post some show and tell pics :)
