Little darlings

I have had a lovely week or two.  Lots of lovelies and little darling things have been appearing and time to sew , well I have definitely fulfilled my three hexi flowers per week quota that's for sure and a bit more...so far at least

The glue pen I mentioned certainly has worked wonders even with much smaller hexies .

I have been naughty again!  I have been waiting for this beautiful retro type fabric to arrive in the on line shops I use and it did and I did so have to have it!  It is from a collection called "strawberry biscuit" and I have seen so many things made on Pinterest using it well I just could not resist and when I opened the package I didn't regret the spend one bit!

These are other retro prints I could not resist 

I have a few gifts to make for babies due in the next few months.

I don't know  what  the sex of the babies so I am well prepared now. 

And other things.....

A morning with DH and Dextie spent on the beach...then ice creams on the bench and back home to more sewing ......simple things, this was last Wednesday ..

New Quay....the sea was so blue .. 

Wet pupster with a  sandy nose, 

we met a couple who used to breed Dally's 

from their Dalmatians.  they told 

us that 

our boy was very handsome

with 

 beautiful amber eyes 

a great sign of a good breeding 

if their eyes are so clear... 

and his stance so well formed (?)  apparently.. 

we wouldn't change him.  for anything 

but nice to confirm what a handsome boy we have 

by someone we just met..

who have some knowledge of the breed. 

Then .... yesterday.... this...doesn't seem like May will be here next week.

This carried on and off for 4 hours ..it was so chilly the

heating was on most of the morning and early afternoon

and then back on at tea time!

Earlier in the week I noticed a animal transporter leave the farm next to us with calves that had been born since we arrived here two years ago...little calves the children had named and for a few minutes I felt sad seeing them go...I wandered home ...deep in thought as I do on the odd occasion .  My knee seems to have improved a bit, I have done a bit of driving the last week since my car was fixed .  As
my car is manuel I wonder whether that exercise has helped?  So I have been for the odd wander otherwise the temptation to sit and stick hexies would if I let it take over my day!  Anyway I arrived
home and what a beautiful sight and sound greeted me..... New baby calves, can't be very old, with their mothers and "aunty" who I think must be pregnant too

And their names "blue" and "little pink flowers".   Named by you know who!

I haven't done any gardening yet...I should I know but just have not been "in the mood"
Every pot needs weeding and the soil topping up ....maybe next week...... But with every day hail and sleet I am in no rush!

Both kiddies off school for the last few days , poorly.  ....so not much sewing getting done..just lots of cuddles, sympathy and maid duties!


I found a free printable sheet for 3/4 inch hexies and they are so little...printed a couple of sheets off as  i do not have the die for that size but do for the fabric to fit it .  I think they will make cute brooches and hair slides or to decorate gift bags .... I found a little bag of them  , not sure when I got them whilst tidying up and they do look cute... Hence I thought I would make some more . A couple are in this picture that I have sewn already...

glueing these are a bit tricky 

but I am not planning on making many or very often.
