mystery monday HOW

HOW? 

what did you say??

The Mystey Monday HOW!! (HEXAGON ORNAMENT OF THE WEEK)

Week after week, blog after blog, I keep running across hexies, all sizes, all sorts, layered ones, embroidered, stamped, spangled, buttoned and glitzed.......... Now I made some one inch ones out of scraps from Bethies puprle quilt years ago intending to make a special little quilt.  Because after making several decided a big quilt was out of the question...........so there's about 25 tiny hexie flowers somewhere in my stuff, I gave a few to my aunt who was fascinated that I would do them that small.......

Then comes along Dawn Hay from As Sweet As Cinnamon , one of the Among the Gum Trees designers from down under who posted her new FROSTY FLAKES BOW last week (see my version on one of my  previous posts and her button for frosty flakes on my side bar for link) Anyway, I was hooked again with those little one inch hexies............!!! 
So I was sitting here this morning(writing part of this on Sunday) thinking about my monday mystery project when it hit me....................hexie ornaments..................so the monday mystery project will be hexie ornaments!  Each week, for awhile, or as long as I can think of new designs, there will be a hexie ornament on the monday mystery project.  They will only be available for a short while so if you want them, download them now.  No telling when they will disappear.

Here are the first..........2 sizes, similiar designs.

So if you want to stitch up some hexie ornaments you will need to gather some fabrics, buttons, stiff interfacing, felt and floss.  Then click on the words under the picture above for a link to google docs for a free pdf to download for directions to the hexie ornaments for this week.

 and the backs.................

The Red is a pat sloan fabric.  The stitchery on the back of the brown one is just eyeballed with the hex points, I did not transfer it.

And look at the mess I make when I start creating, I just gather up some things. plop down on the floor and began playing, do you make this much mess?

Seems like lots of mess for two little ornaments!
Hope you are a neater designer than I am!!! lol!!
