Hexie Puffs 7 - Shawls 0

Yes, I've joined the swarm who are buzzing about

The BeeKeeper's Quilt

Seems the Queen Bee in this instance is

Tiny Owl Knits  Stephanie Dosen

You've seen and heard about these 'tiny wonders' all over the interweb.

The Tiny Owl Knits Rav group 

is more than 4,000 strong.

And, I know there are many, many more knitting these hexie puffies that aren't on this Rav group.

It's a simply wonderful way of knitting up those sock yarn scraps.

The happy aspect of this activity is that

every color and weight yarn is a candidate.

Caution:  these lovely puffies are addictive ! ! ! ! ! 

That's the reason behind the lack of progress on my shawls.  

They've had very little love showered on them this past week.

oh, oh, I know you want it!

here's the link to the Hexie Puff pattern

Autumn Projects

Our Sycamores have been dropping leaves for more than a month now
and a just beginning turning to rusts and golds.

Crepe Myrtles have been in bloom since the beginning of August and are as lovely as ever.
This is the first year they've come into their own.
Nature must have treated them just so.

These bee Sedum.
Have I told you how much I love my Sedum  ?
They reward me from the time they break ground first thing in the Spring,
blooming during the summer,
fading to a beautiful brown for the winter months,
and acting as snow catchers in January and February
looking as though there's a flowerbed of snow flowers.

If I'm not mistaken DD#2 mentioned just last week that these are her most favorite flowers.
Isn't that so, sweetie?
ker-choo
