I just have to say that today was a great day - I gave myself permission to stay home, rest, weed, cook, clean, and just do things that I never seem to have enough time to do. This morning I started the day with a Yoga stretch class - wow, I have a long way to go to be as flexible as the teacher!! -- and then came home and decided to tackle this quilt. I've had the pieces cut out for ages and ages but never got around to the sewing part. Well, I did that today! I'm pretty pleased with myself and how it turned out. It makes a huge mess -- I wish it was a "no strings attached" sort of thing -- strings (aka threads) are everywhere!! It's not 100% done but you get the idea of how it'll kind of look.
Thanks to Jessica for the idea/inspiration! Sewing straight lines *is* ever so much easier than the stuff I was trying to do!

If you have any other opinions or ideas as to why that might be - keep those to yourself - this is just open forum on which kind of bed to get! ;-) smirk

After I read Rory's blog I decided it was time to write a post about my ... life revolution of the past few months. I decided on my birthday to make this year a year of health. I didn't know exactly what that would look like at the time, but that was my theme. Then while in Hawaii, well - there's something very sobering about trotting around in a swimsuit in public. "You can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't fool any of them when you're wearing a swimsuit!" I was inspired to change my diet and life. It seemed like I'd been slowly adding weight and my 'baseline' was creeping up and up. I wasn't sure how or what would happen or if I could even do it, because I've failed a few times before, but I started making changes there in Hawaii and it has launched me on a really amazing journey - very educational to be sure! It's amazing how much info is out there that I just did n...
