this day......

The joining process has begun. Well at least part of it has.
I really didn't think this project through when it all began. 

I was so happy when I finally found a lovely hexagon and for the life of me can not find it again.! (Once I start working on a pattern and repeat it over and over again....I remember it in my brain and when it's time to share...I forget where I found it....I have to work on that!)

Any who, I have about 80 hexagons made up and after working on the same old pattern day after day for about a week now, I thought I would start joining and get a more visual of what it's going to look like. So far.....loving it!  My back is not loving it to much. I have this large area in my living room where I can spread out and for someone my age and "out of shape" hunched over 'is not the best position to be in, but .......I am pressing on. 

I'm joining each hexagon with a tapestry needle and whip stitch in a dark gray color instead of using a light color. I think it makes each hexagon " pop out" don't you think?  Plus it gives it a look as if it is quilted....well that's my opinion anyways. 

I also lost all will power to NOT start another project before this one was finished but I just couldn't help myself when I stumbled across THE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS CROCHET SQUARE. You can find the pattern if you click on the link.....it's easy and so pretty!  

Once I got to the last round in the pattern I kept looking at it thinking how lovely this square would be if I kept going and going with a sc crochet.....so I did and now I love it more it will be turned into a cushion!  I'm going to make the backside a little different just because I wish to. I'll be back soon with a updated on it. I am most certain I will finish this before I finish that blanket.

On another note.... I've noticed a few new followers to the blog today so I want to give you a warm welcome to my little space here. I'm so happy you joined in!

Also, thanks so much for all the wonderful comments on my last post.
Sometimes it's hard to respond to each one but I do read them!
I especially want to give a lovely "thank you" to Gilly at " GILLY MAKES"

It always makes my day when others find love and inspiration in the things I make

Be back soon
