Here is how I've started my morning with a cup of "Joe" and travels along the mountain trails of Hexagonia. (Are you old enough to recall this song ????
"I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track, and as I go I love to sling my backpack on my back--valdereee, valderaaah, valder-ahahahahaha ....")My backpack being full of hexagons of course, lol.
I often have songs whirling through my head as I sit and sew.....I have found that I can baste about 10 hexies before I begin to feel it in my thumb. It's the holding between thumb and forefinger that does it to me.
So far I have made:
It is a grey, cloudy and cold day here; but my hands are warmed by the simple stitches I am taking.
I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday. I am linking with Hexagon Alley and with Slow Sunday Stitching. Hope to see you all there...
hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse

You certainly have a lot done ! :)
I love my hexies too. Love that little Hummel figurine!! My grandmother's maiden name was Hummel and there are alot of them living in my town too. I think music and sewing go hand in hand. Enjoy your day!
Can't wait to see what you make from those hexies. Hope your thumb holds out!
when you get 'old' we just can't do what you used to, old grey mare, song hugs friend
I sure do remember that song! I started singing it in my head when I read the blog title!
Enjoy your stitching today!
Oh yes, I can remember that song. beautiful blue fabrics you've got there.
Yes, ma'am...I remember that song and now I want to get it out of my head! Gee, thanks!
That is a beautiful blue. Water near Monet's garden, indeed!
Oooh goodie--now I don't feel so old !! I love reading all of your comments on here. Such a fun group you all are.
Sometimes I think my life is a comic opera--being two musicians we have songs for all occasions...I used to sing with my two children when on car rides to teach them all the words...ah yes, the good old days. Hugs to all Julierose
I,too, remember that song. Lots of goodies there in you kit.
I love the little kit you have all ready for stitching. Your hexies are so pretty. Stitch a little, rest a little and your thumb will thank you. Enjoy!
Oh yes we sang that a lot. Enjoy your stitching and don't over do that thumb!
yes I also remember the song and love the Hummel memories, Mum adored them lol
Great hexis and healthy looking plants with music - whats not to like!!
We learned that song in school when I was little. How long does it take your thumb to recover after ten hexagons?
I remember that song! I often have memories of songs as I go about my day and have been known to burst into song as I go about my day... Have fun with your projects!
lol We sang that when we were kids. What a great way to do your hexies!
