No blue yarn left in the charity shop :-( Only grey and orange. I could kick myself for not buying more when they had it, but, I didn't have any project in mind for it at the time. So, this table runner will only be 2 hexagons wide instead of 3 hexagons wide.
I did another two hexagons late last night so 22 hexagons done in total to last night. I did 4 hexagons today so 26 hexagons done in total.

I worked very hard on this table runner today!
I sewed them together but the blue yarn must have been thinner than the white table runner as even though it was 13 hexagons long (same as the white table runner) once it was all sewn together it was much shorter.
So, I did another 2 hexagons to make it 14 hexagons long X 2 hexagons wide.
I sprayed it with the Dylon starch spray and ironed it flat which seemed to make it grow! It has gone from being short, to an overhang of one hexagon each side of the table!

It will eventually go on the table in the conservatory but that is covered in wooden carousel model, paints and bird feeder at the moment!

Anais went on a school trip today to Avoncroft Museum.

Anais opened her jewellery making kit today that she brought on Sunday. She coloured in the stars and then put them in the oven...
...which made the colour intensify. They also shrunk but went thicker and stronger. Anais tried but struggled to add jump rings to them so that is my job for tomorrow to connect them together for her.
I brought some clear glass today so Anais and Roman varnished the bird feeder.
Pictures to follow tomorrow once it has been left to dry for 24 hours.
