Machine Sewing Hexies!

I was in my happy place yesterday, sitting at my BERNINA and stitching lovely curved hexies! And I had the perfect color of Aurifil to match - yay!

Hubby and I walked on the lot we are considering for our new home. I think it will work, though after that 30 minutes I ended up with a major allergy attack. Ugh! Hubby spent most of the afternoon under the house in the crawl space, taking care of some minor issues that were revealed in the inspection. ALL DONE!

Last night we had a date night. Dinner at one of our favorites, BurgerFi! Then on to Walmart to purchase moving boxes. This move is really happening! You know, the entire month our house was on the market I kept repeating, "We're not going to build! We're not going to build!" I have to say that I have finally come to embrace the idea. We've been planning the new home and we're going to have exactly what we want and need. It will definitely be worth the wait.  

Instagram, Anyone? AND A SALE ON RULERS!

So I'm very prolific at blogging. :) And I'm not too shabby at posting on Facebook. But Instagram? I've not been doing great at this.

Yesterday I made a new friend - sold her my extra Featherweight - and she put me in my place (nicely) about my lack of Instagram activity. She's totally right! I need to get with the Instagram program! I promised her I'd post there last night and I DID! And so, thanks to Hollie, I'll be much more visible on Instagram - find me at hexie_love!

Now, what you've been waiting for! I'm having a 2 week sale on my Hexie Love Curved Hexagon Ruler!!!!  To get $4.00 off, use the coupon code MOVING. Yes, I want to move as little inventory as possible! Sale is only good until February 15!

Above is one of the curved hexagons I stitched yesterday. Happy Dance!

Let's Sew!!!

Let's get this party started! I have a lovely pile of baggies full of basted hexies ready to stitch together. And that's exactly what I'll be doing this morning. Fun!!!

And this afternoon? More bookkeeping. Yup. It's got to be done!

I'll say something good about this upcoming move: it's lighting a fire under me to get things done!

So when you know you'll be moving soon, one of things you try to do is eat up the food in your freezer and pantry. So last night I shopped in the freezer and found frozen ravioli and garlic bread. AND there was a jar of spaghetti sauce in the pantry. SCORE! Dinner in minutes and got rid of some stuff. There will be some creative meal planning going on around here in the next few weeks.

Sorry, No Picture

I really hate to post here without a picture. But I don't have one today. Oh well...

I spent the morning in my car with the dogs...more than 3 hours.... while our home was thoroughly inspected, up and down and all around. I made use of the time by reading, catching up on some e-mails, and drinking my morning coffee. Cooper slept in the back seat (good boy!) and Mickey worried me to death in the front seat, as usual. He wanted in my lap. He wanted out of my lap. He wanted this and that and the other! Now that we are back home, Mickey is sound asleep.

I'm not sure when we'll hear if the house passes it's test, but hopefully soon. Meanwhile, I'll keep forging ahead, sewing and writing and working on my bookkeeping. I'm hoping to stitch hexies together later today!

Lot's of hexie love to you all today!!!

Curved Hexie Valentine Mug Rug

We had a little private lesson yesterday...I taught a friend to make curved hexies. And didn't she do a great job? She's making a valentine mug rug once she basted several more of these.

As for me? I finished basting all the hexies I had prepared. Yippee! Today I'll be laying them out, getting ready to stitch them all together.

Also on the list - computer work! I owe a few people emails - I promise I'll get to that this morning. And...still some bookkeeping to do. I just need to DO IT!!!

Just realized the home inspection is TOMORROW! (Thought it was Friday...) And that means a bit of house cleaning today.

Sounds like a full day, doesn't it? But first I need coffee....

And More Basting...

This is the next set ready for basting later today. I got back from Mississippi last night, tired and ready to sleep. Now, back to work today!!!

I have computer work to do, basting, and some move related stuff. We have now transported 3 trailer and car loads to the lake - lawn mowers, tools, etc. These are things we don't want to put in storage. We are waiting to begin packing boxes for storage until the buyers' home inspection is done and their small contingency is lifted - about a week until these things happen. Until then I'll keep sorting through drawers and cabinets, getting rid of as much as I can. This will make packing much easier.

And so, it will be a busy day! But a good one!

Good Morning From...Mississippi!

Yes, we are in Jackson, Mississippi! I'll be at the hotel doing my thing (basting and computer work) while Daughter 2 does her thing. We had a good drive, except that I missed a turn and cost us an extra 45 minutes of driving. Lesson learned: even if you THINK you know where you're going, always turn on the GPS!

I basted this hexie last night - the colors are way off in the photo. The dark is navy and the green is really blue. Either way, I love this one!

Here's a photo of the fountain at our house just to prove that it HAS been very COLD way down south in our neck of the woods. Burrrr....

And here's last night's sunset here in Jackson.

Have a wonderful Monday!!!
