Purple

As you can see from this new block I have joined this tiny hexagon BOM from Dawn Hay. I had won some Fairy Frost charms and thought they would be perfect for these Snowflake blocks.
One more flower done. The picture looks like it is foggy outside but it was just my camera lens fogging up because of the high humidity we are having. I actually think the picture looks pretty neat.
With Passion,

Carrie, how sweet! I gathered everything I needed to make these little hexies while I travel....and haven't touched them! Guess I'm having too good a time. ~karen

Humid? Are you kidding??

Lovely hexes, both of them. Well done!

FlourishingPalms said...

Those are both great pictures. Is that fairy frost fabric a little more difficult to crease, because it's so stiff?

One morning last week, I thought our picture window had fogged up on the inside. I went to wipe it off and discovered it was on the outside! That doesn't happen very often, but when it does, you KNOW it's humid.

I love purples (of all types and hues). Your flowers are fantastic.
And I agree, this humidity is absolutely awful.

Annette said...

Pretty flowers! I love the quote at the end of your post. It made me think.

Stephanie Hughes said...

Carrie, this is gorgeous. I have never done a hexagon. It looks very difficult. Steph

ranette said...

Sweet little hexie's. If you wear glasses do they fog up outside? Mine do and it drives me nuts.

Like Annette, your quote made me think as well.

Both the hexie flowers are adorable Carrie. I want to try the snowflakes too, but haven't yet. Oh yes, I wanted to say I responded to your comments on my blog and got them back undeliverable today.

Karen said...

The foggy picture does look real neat and isn't the Frosty Flake BOM cute! I have been saving the patterns and maybe this winter I will make a few flakes.

Janet said...

Carrie, I love your snowflake thanks for sharing it. If you'd like to see mine, I've blogged about the first two here and finished the 3rd one last night. Am off to ask Dawn if there's a flickr group because I would love to see all the blocks together.
