Well I have been working this week to stitch them together and realised that I needed more. So I have been working away at my little coloured hexagons again.
I start with all my colours of wool like paint colours, all messily out in front of me and just mix until I get the desired effect.
And what better place to do it than on the veranda in the gorgeous late afternoon October sun. The view from my chair not so shabby...
Well actually I had to stand up for some of those, but I had to capture the loveliness of it all.The kids have had a 4 day weekend. We went Halloween decoration shopping and decorated on Thursday (haven't carved the pumpkins yet as they'll rot as it's been so warm). Friday I left the boys at home to be vegitons and took Ella to my pottery class with me. She made two pots and declared that she'd rather go to school on Saturday if she could come along every week. Yesterday Matt took her and Kit too a Korean birthday party for a one year old (daughter of a guy Matt used to work with). It was at a Korean restaurant in Flushing Queens and they had a ball. Ella game home with 3 gifts of her own! Her she is making watches with her set she got.
Today we are off to Bear Mountain on the Hudson in NY. We love going there. They do a big Oktober fest this time every year. We didn't make it there last year, so we are keen to get out today. And it's another gorgeous day.
And tomorrow Matt had the day off for Columbus day, but not the kids, so we are going to have a "date day" together.
I've just realised you had this other posting about your hexagon making in the sun (I'm madly jealous of course and would love to be sitting out on your verandah doing ANYTHING!) and you've answered my question about where Bear Mt is located!
