So my Sister the Artist texts me the other night telling me she has made 180 hexies… in less than a week… and is that enough??. Dang! I have infected her and created a monster!!! She has taken off and passed me by. So as not to have Hexie-Envy or feeling like a Hexie-Failure or being Hexed-Vexed I am going to show off the 25 hexies that I will be sent off to my partner in the Handsome Hexies Swap 2

ETA: I was writing this post on Wednesday…in the midst of it my server went down. It is now 5am on Thursday when I am finally able to get back into my site. See! The Universe is whacko! I did get a nice message from my host
The server mysql-a.mac^&*%$#.com (aka mysql-a.%$#mac.com) is down. We have technicians on scene working to restore service as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we do not currently have an estimated time of repair. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing. About the 5th time in 5 months. I’m moving my site soon.
I apologize. I know I said I would have details here on Monday. The Universe must be whacko because I had 2 big life blows dealt me yesterday and today. One by someone I trusted for many years and one a la familia. As a DEAR friend of mine says “Family makes ya’ ’bout to bust!” To top it off my server went down as I was writing this post. Oy with the poodles already!!

I came across this quote today. I love it
“Today, more than ever, the crafts have the mission to reconnect the human being to the Earth and her substances,
bring healing to the senses and soul,
and foster the creative capacities of the human being” – Renate Hiller
Renate Hiller’s site is Fiber Craft Studio
And a wonderful video by her

I see some of “us” are cycling {ha! get it? cycling??} right along for the Quilt Le Tour de France. I see new photos up in our Quilt Le Tour Flickr group
Me? Well…uh…I have done these! Not my quilt blocks but they ARE cycling related. I gave them yesterday to the All Ladies Alley Cat Race director. 
They will be given as prizes.
