There hasn't been a whole lot of sewing round here but neither have I been completely idle.
There has been some secret sewing...
...and some more secret sewing...
...and with 2 trips to Casablanca in as many weeks, some progress was made on the aqua, orange and grey hexie flowers - I EPPed in the car for the first time and it made a dull motorway journey pass in no time.
There are 88 now and I still have quite a few more hexagons basted. I could continue assembling these for a while as the thought of stitching them together and then appliqueing them fills me with dread.
Here's my handsome boy who was on more than a couple of occasions a bit of a cheeky monkey while his granny was here but he's a very normal little boy I guess and redeemed himself with impeccable behaviour at the 'sbour' (naming party for baby Amira) last weekend.
Linking up with Plum and June's Let's Get Acquainted blog hop here this week.

Oooh, secret sewing, how exciting. And I love your hexies, great progress, I've spent days in the car in the last few years doing them, and you're right, they really do make the time go quicker, and it doesn't feel like such a waste of time! And welcome back! :o)
Your secret sewing projects look exciting! And a little boy who is never cheeky wouldn't be much fun - he looks adorable as always :)

I love the 'secret stitching', very intriguing and attractive. Your little boy is so handsome that i am sure he makes his being cheeky very forgivable!
what a handsome wee chap!! I have an 8 year old cheeky monkey boy and the girl is just as bad at times but quicker to say sorry. I think it's something to do with being a boy unfortunately :(( Can't wait for the big reveals!
Secret sewing looks fab. I just love HSTs.
How big are your hexies? Mine are 2" in diameter and I've got 66 flowers by now. I've never put them together like you have here. Maybe I should, mabye I shouldn't. Not sure whether dread wouldn't sneak up on me, too..
Very handsome Z! I'm digging the colors of the secret stitching , can't wait for more!
Oh wow your hexies are incredible! A cheeky little fella can be great fun, though. I like his spirit.
Patience pays off with hexies, I think! Love your choosen colors, this will be a beauty
; )
Oh those hexies *swoons*! Zaki is an adorable cheeky monkey.
Your project with the Denyse Schmidt fabric really caught my eye! That sure is a lot of hexies! I haven't ever given them a go, but someday I will...
Thanks for linking up:)
I'm loving everything you're working on right now! Those hexies just keep growing too! It really makes me smile to see them all laid out together. :)
Wow - that EPP is so beautiful!
Those hexi-flowers are especially beautiful and I like those colors so much
Keep to a target for a week/day with the hexies and before you know it you will be done!
When is this big reveal then?
