    Rosemary, what size hexies are you doing? I find junk mail to be great for punching my hexies.
    at election time, loved those glossy flyers for hexies, nice and firm, loved them.

    Pictures, anyone????

    Mary, why can't they all take the same power/electrical cord??? who's in charge of that anyway??

    Lynnie,

    My Nikon S570 camera takes a special cord so I can't just use
    any kind of cord.

    But I love my camera so I "deal" with it.

    As promised, here are the pictures of my Pin Cushion and Needle Case from MelanieLynn!

    The "nest" my little hen is in is actually a Bowl Cozy! However, my little ones were sure it was a nest for the hen, so there she sits! Here is what the cozy looks like on the bottom. I love the choice of fabrics she picked for both my PC/NC and the bowl cozy.

    And, yes, I did stuff my little hen with a bit of polyester. She had just a little rice in the bottom. (No complaints! Just a preference!) Does that make me bad? She was very droopy and told me she needed just a bit more fluff. lol

    I ADORE the Hen with her Nest and what I am calling my Egg Basket!

    Deb -- great p/c & n/c & bowl cozy! I just love those chicken p/c's!

    I just went to grab my hexes & realized that the ones I enjoy making the most are the 3/8" ones. The 3/4" ones (which are really a good size, too) are my next favorite. I'm not fond of the bigger ones I was making first, which are bigger than 3/4" -- maybe 1 to 1/2"? I can't find any of those bigger ones at the moment. Here's a photo of my two favorite sizes:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]506827[/ATTACH]I need the practice posting photos anyway!

    Good grief those are tiny.

    Umm NO THANK YOU lol.

    Think I will stick with just yo-yos.

    I have 7 large (58qt sized) bins full of scraps some day I hope to
    get them sorted and get rid of the majority of them.

    Deb what a cute chicken in a basket you got from MelanieLynn. That must be a popular bowl as I saw several people making them for the craft fairs. Very nice. Ct those 3/8" hexies are too cute but really small. I use the Fiskar hexagon punch that Lynnie uses for the 3/4" ones that I make. They did have a smaller one and that must be the size of your hexies. Too small for me but I bet they will be so cute. What size are the large ones?

    Pat I absolutely love this. What a beautiful old timey feel it has. You must have the patience of a saint!

    love the hen and the "nest". cute idea.
    love the hexies. I too do the crazy thing with the 3/4". I must be nuts.
    love seeing them though and what everyone does with them.

    Love the bowl and chick p.c. the needlebook is very pretty. Ladies your hexies are pretty. Lynnie I don't know why the cords all have a different connector either. I guess to sell the different cords and make money.
