Happy, happy! It's the third of January and what have I got to show for the new year? Well, I'll show ya.
I spent a good deal of Saturday marking, Inklingoing and cutting several projects, just because I could.


I just love how sweet these little blue flowers look. and I do mean small:

Each side of the hexagon finishes at 1/2"-this quarter covers the whole center. I keep thinking of them as little forget-me-nots. Yes, it will take tons, but I'm not in a hurry and they print up so fast.
The POTC's that I talked about on Thursday?:

I got some of them done, too:

These are similar in size to the hexes:

You can find lots of info on them at
Cathi's site, (and Valentina's,--and I'd give you the site if I hadn't accidentally erased everything on my favorites list-but you can find that on Cathi's site, too. She seems ever so much more organized than I am.) if you search "klosjes",which is the Dutch word. Apparantly, they've been very big in the Netherlands for a while. (I'm late to the party,as usual). A group of people have declared Saturdays as the day to work on your Klosjes. There are a number of sizes and shapes, but I agree with Cathi that there's something special and addictive about this little size. Did I say the finished blocks finish at 2 1/2" square?
Then I did some "old fashioned" marking with a pencil and got a bunch of hearts to top stitch applique ready:

And I worked on my Spring table topper out of the Blackbird design book,
Garden Club.I hope you didn't expect focus this year!
Well, dinner's in the crockpot, but the laundry in the dryer won't fold itself.
later

Oh Linda, This is fun! I love your sewing kit and the way you used the coins to show the size. Very pretty! Hugs,
