Now that the Urban Home Goods Swap {UHGS} is done and my partner, Jamie, received what I made I thought it was time to show and tell. I started with the above sewn together strips. Then chopped them up. Added a little embellishment And Voila! A sewing machine cover!
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 [...]
Dude! Who knew 6 sides could be so creative! Look at these amazing {and some a little creepy} Hexagon examples. What an EdGyKashun I am giving you! Now go out there and get Hexie Wit it! { make sure you watch the video at the bottom } Hexagons: natural and human-made A beehive honeycomb The [...]
The first week of the Tour de France has finished. 2 more weeks to go! I am still working on a wheel block. Trying to figure out how to draft it. I needed a break from geometry. So I did some more hexies! I think this fabric reminds me of the French countryside that the [...]
Once again I have gone down the what-if rabbit hole {me? sidetracked? never} I was thinking….how small can one go with hexies? I used the hexagon generator and plugged in my order for 1/2 inch hexagons…with a side of crazy. I’m on a diet so I turned down the fries. Look like normal size…the kind [...]

Sooooo… I made some 1.5 inch hexagons in Adobe Illustrator, spaced them out into [...]
It is so hot. Duh…it is TexAs and summer. I plopped myself in a chair that was in direct shot of a fan. Yes we have AC but it is very inefficient in a 1930′s house that has leaky windows and doors and no insulation. Whilst plopped I put together some hexies. I was going [...]
you start with a hexagon and string piece around it without rhyme or reason and rules be damned??? I squared it up to 6.5 inches Not sure whether to make more or not. Everything seems wonky… I hab a code ind my d{n}ose
I am known to be easily bored, distracted, sidetra….OOooo look at that pretty… yeah, well I love making the hexagons but I needed a break. I made a needle case with a little pincushion on top. The pincushion part was made by stuffing the smallest hex with some wool roving. Again I apologize for camera [...]
After an evening of noshing on grilled fajitas the C&C Tribe played Texas Hold ‘Em…except me. I played Hexas Hold ‘Em. Get it? Thank you, thank you, I’m here all week at the Coffee & Cotton Comedy Club. I apologize for the below average pics. I am doomed to my crappy camera phone. I had [...]
