January Tally



The drawn number in January for the Chockshed Challenge 2025 was 6. 

My project no. 6 is these 1" hexagons called Tiny Treasures, by Kathy Schmitz.
It is a year long project, so if I am done by the end of the year, I am more than happy. I have started joining hexies in January. I found the perfect fabric on my own shelf - a light blue chambray. 

4. January my husband and I travelled to Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, for a 3 week stay for playing and learning more Bridge. We had a great time with friends and new friends, and will absolutely go back again.






I did not bring any sewing, and even my knitting was ignored most of the time. It was busy days indeed.

Coming home to snow and ice was hard, but it was nice to have spent most of January in Spain. We came home late 25. January, 2 weeks ago today.

I came home with an inner ear condition that gave me dizziness and pain, so not much have been done since that either. I hoped for the longest time it would go away by itself, but it did not.
This week I seeked medical help. The dizziness is as good as gone now. Some pain and pressure is still present, 
I am happy to say I have got my want for sewing back 😍
I have planned for a busy sewing year!

  1. Our relative in England escapes to Tenerife in winter, too. If you go back seek out the Komitroff salted caramel vodka. Your life will never be the same!!!

    1. Thank you Denice :-) We hope to go back next January. Cutting the winter down was very nice, and we were outdoors all day long. Will take note of the Komitroff salted caramel vodka :-)

  7. Lovely to get away for some sunshine. When we lived in France we drove down to the south of Spain for 6 weeks in January and February to get away from the grey dreary weather. Your little hexagons are lovely and that blue looks perfect Hope you soon feel much better and can get on with #10! xx
