Serious Shopping, catching up

-
Finally feel as if I'm 100% back on track. I really like my new WW leader, school at home with Calvert is moving right along - with very little complaining, house is clean, and I even have a menu for the week and a grocery list.

I found a new exercise program online - haven't received the DVD's yet, but I've been using the free interval workouts they have online and I love them ! They use my heart rate monitor that I already have - and boy, I can certainly tell the difference. Then on Monday I went to the new gym and had my free 1 hour session with the trainer - it was hard, but I managed everything. BUT - the next day .... heaven help me. Just today I can finally bend my arms again. I guess that's what I get for telling the trainer I wanted the bottom of my arm to stop waving goodbye at the same time my hand did !

Some great online deals lately -

6pm.com - cannot believe the prices of shoes - and they have hard to find sizes as well. I think I posted about my Ugg deals last month (5 pairs for less than $60). I also got some sneaks, and ordered some new boots for all of us just this week (at $9.99 pair - these boots usually sell for over $75 !) Of course, now I have no more reason to buy shoes ... but I'll be keeping a close eye on this store.

Vitamuffins - if you eat these - subscribe to Hungry Girl's website. She sends out a daily email - so it doesn't cram up your emailbox, but every now and again she'll post a good special. Yesterday it was vitamuffins, buy one case, get one case free ! And only the chocolate ones were in the case !! Couldn't beat it. So I now have breakfast for me for the next 2 months !

Oh, and today's picture of the day - Adam's hat - at his school this week they are focusing on drugs (don't ask me why 5 and 6yo's need an entire week to focus on drugs?) so Tuesday was "Put a Cap on Drugs" - this is what he wore ...





Love that Boy !

LOL, too cute! I love Adam's hat. Good luck with the new gym. I've never done that but maybe I should. My upper arms start waving after my hand and continue long afterward.

I thought it was expected at my age and hate to disappoint anyone. ;)

Thanks Sweetie for the 6pm tip. Just ordered some shoes for standing at work. $17.95, I can do that!

HUGS!

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 !
