Sewing happily

Well this lock down has turned off my gardening enthusiasm but switched on my sewing!
I am happily sewing each evening and thoroughly enjoying the tiny stitches. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed hand sewing.
Every separate part of putting these together might seem a bit of a faff to some, as each one has to be tacked into position but I am loving it. 
This photo doesn't do the colours justice but anyone who regularly looks at my blog knows photography isn't my fortè.

Hexies

 I've put my knitting to one side as it does make my arm ache.. saw this on FB and decided it was just what I wanted to sew.
 I've 11 completed and several more hexies ready to sew together.
And it's using up a lot of scraps.
Although I bought fabric to use to sew them on. 

I am absolutely loving sewing them. I love the tiny stitches and have delighted in matching up sets and colours to sew each round.
I bought the papers on line, twice! Twice because I couldn't find the first lot I bought.
This is going to keep me happy for a while, I think.
Nice? What do you think?
