Hmmmm ... Hexies :)

Still on holiday in the Isle of Man with our dear Mums and having a fabby time. Sunday we visited Ramsey, Monday a walk around Peel Castle, yesterday to Castletown and the marvelous medieval Castle Rushen and today a ride on the Manx Electric Railway to Laxey and then a walk around Laxey Wheel (74 spiral steps ... made me a bit giddy I can tell you!) and a yellow hat for the mines:

With all that gallivanting AND watching the tennis (c'mon Murray!), I haven't made much progress on the hexies! They actually take much more time than you'd think. This is all I've done so far:

And I found Joan's Crafts in Onchan and bought a little bit of fabric! The pinks are for my stash (couldn't help myself ... no - really!) and the yellows and blues are going to make a 70th birthday quilt for my Swedish friend's Mum. Not sure what blocks to make as it's only using the two colours ... what would you do?

On holiday ... no Wifi :(

We have arrived in the Isle of Man for a week's holiday with our Mums. We are staying in a beautiful cottage - The Milking Parlour:

and there was a plate of delicious cakes to greet us:

We are already relaxing on the patio with a G&T! There's no Wifi but am able to write this on my iPhone:) So that I don't go too much into withdrawal, I have brought some hand sewing with me - I don't do hand sewing so this will be interesting! My little sis bought me these for my birthday:

This week saw the finish of my loft / sewing room:

And my Strip Bee strip:

There are a couple of fabric / quilting shops on the island so they'll definitely get a visit this week!
