My lovely friend Sheila, sent me a gorgeous table topper for Christmas along with these pretty purple blooms.
Another lovely friend, Lynda(no blog), sent me this project holder for my birthday. I just love it & have a project already in mind to store in it. :)
Here is a full view of both outside & inside. Along with the holder was included some hexagon templates. Lynda must’ve read my mind as i need some 1” templates for a project from Natalie Birds Tis the Season stitchery book. Aren’t i lucky to have 2 such lovely friends. :)
As it is Thursday i’m a day late with posting my hexies. I was going to stop at 100 with the 1” hexies & decide whether to add a path or not. I’ve not counted the hexies for a while & decided to do so today. The count for the 1” hexies is at 107, bit over the 100 i know. :) The 1/2” hexies are at 66 & the 1/4” are at 22.
The 1” & 1/2” hexie blooms,
& the 1/4”.
I decided this year not to make a gingerbread house but to make a star tree. I really hate the recipes supplied with the cutters. I managed to get the dough to work in the end but the stars didn’t cook properly. I think my oven was going out on strike with all the cooking it did on the 24th. Lol. With a bit of determination & luck i managed to get the stars stacked & decorated.

Ah, how nice of your friend...that looks like a great project holder. And as always I love the "baby" blooms!!
I can't believe how many flowers you have made! I love all your gifts and the star tree is wonderfully different! Wishing you a very happy New Year Jeanette!
Very nice present and you made a lot of pretty flowers.
You've got some great presents from your friends. I really love the projectholder.
And the hexieflowers you've made are so nice (and so many...). A pleasure to look at. As is your star tree!
Best wishes for 2011 Jeanette.
Hello Jeanette,
Wonderful flowers you have made and lots of them!
Looks like you have some great presents from your friends.
Happy New year to you and your family.
Hugs, Carolyn
You've made soooo many flowers. That's amazing! Such nice pressies too!! I like your star tree a lot! I think that would be a fun little project to make with my girls.
Hi Jeanette, I don't know why I haven't come across your blog before. I was born in Ipswich but moved away many moons ago. Live in Newcastle now, but still have cousins up there. :-)
I have been making hexie flowers for a craft forum swap, they are quite addictive. I also love Bronwyn Hayes stitceries. I plan on doing Jenny Elefantz BOM and Vicki/Dawns BOM as well.
I am a follower of your blog.
Bye for now, Sandy.
