Some Ramblings -

-
Well - to start off - I was up this weekend at WW. Course, after last weeks loss - I didn't really expect to have another big loss - but I wish I would have maintained at least. Oh well. Course, then yesterday it was such a beautiful day - took the kids to a few parks - and we ate outside - more than I should have of course. Lots of pretzels - salt will catch up with me today or tomorrow - so drinking lots of water. Going toa local amusement park today to celebrate dd's birthday - so probably another day of not so great food choices.

I do have on my pedometer today. My goal this week - never go to bed with under 10,000 steps. If 8 pm rolls around and I'm a bit short - I'm hopping on my treadmill. I've said it, so now I must do it.

A friend from my WW meetings let me borrow one of her cookbooks - I'll browse that tonight and see if there is anything new I'd like to try. This weeks menu - not so sure yet - tonight will probably be pizza. Tomorrow will be chicken thighs on the grill - I'll cook early cause the kids will be swimming at night. Tuesday I think I'll do fish of some sort. Wednesday maybe stuffed shells. Thursday - meatloaf? And Friday of course, leftovers.

Been hunting around for a private trainer who would come to the house and work with us as a family. So far - no go. Our swim team coach has said something about it - maybe I'll ask him if he could work with us. Gotta do something to get dh on track.

Better get moving - will catch up later.

Hi Jerzy,

Miss you over at Healthy Mom. I'm glad you're still at the healthy stuff. Hope you can find a trainer, that seems like a great idea.

Take care, Toby

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
