Hexagons. Who knew?

I totally love them.
Hand sewing even.
What?
Crazy, but while hanging out yesterday at my event, I thought I'd give them a try.
I mean, I did circles and half hex's, why not try the cute little ones!

I used this tutorial-kinda. Meaning I used the template. Then used this as my method.

So today, I  decided to make a little bag for Emily.
Cuz, I like making her stuff. She appreciates it and I think she'd tell me if it was ugly?  Right?

Zipper bag behold.

 

 

They need a little work, but still how super cute!

I'm working on an orange baby quilt for ZACK.

Yes, Amelia at my suggestion has named Zeke's baby.

PS Emily, if you don't want this, you don't have to have it.  Don't want to FORCE things I make on you!

What?
Not my favorite of the lines, but four fat quarters for $5...I'll totally take it.
It's so soft and lovely.
Anyone want me to make them something from it?

It's A New Baby!

Today, Zeke used his birthday gift card from Yaya Carlton. (Thanks!)
Since Amelia wont share her 3 babies, we got him his own.
And, like most of the dolls out there, he's pretty creepy.

But, as you can see Zeke loves him.
He even (seriously!) took him for a ride on his 4 wheeler.

How cool is it that it's a boy and "uncut" exactly like Zeke.
Ahhhh, twin wieners.
