Laughing More and a Hexagon Tutorial

Yesterday Lindsay told me I need to laugh more. He said he misses my uncontrollable laugh... the one that makes my eyes water and my smile hurt.

What he doesn't know is that I do laugh like that. All the time. It's just at him and I don't want him to hear! Just kidding. He is right. He hasn't heard my laugh as much as usual.

I am kind of caught in this funny little place right now. I am worried about lots of things like my kids and stuff. At 37 years old, I feel like I am still, in some ways, finding myself and parts of that self I'm not really ready to share with the world. So dramatic, so cryptic, so not me!!!

But I do still laugh... just at things maybe other's think I shouldn't be laughing at. This graph really explains it well.

Those of you who know me very personally, will appreciate this more than the rest of you. The rest of you will just have to take it at face value. I'm sorry. I hate those darn inside jokes too, but at least this one is funny on the outside as well!

Here's another bit of funny that had me rolling.


And one last one for you that sums up Ethan's ordeal!


So there LINDSAY MOORE!!!

OK, onto hexagons. Let me tell you they are way easier to deal with in paper than fabric! And super fun to use in projects. To cut them you will want to get this handy little quilter's template.

Cut your paper in a strip the width is says, for the size hexagon you want.

Then trim the end and flip the strip around 180 degrees.

Now cut the next end. You will have one hexagon. Take the template and position it for the next cut.

Cut shapes like this until you run out of length. These are fun to play with too and make cute banners!

To finish off the hexagons, you will just take this shape and trim the other end with the template.

Layer them up, use them as a background, embellishment, whatever. I love them!!!
