Yesterday was crazy. Meetings all morning, work in between and all afternoon. Then my husband and I went out last night to the furniture store and bought a new couch and club chair recliner. VERY excited! Both pieces are in stock so Chris will be picking them up next Monday. So I totally forgot to post my update AND the winner of my little giveaway.

Update on the Wii Active 30 day Challenge. I like it. I went strong until the weekend hit because I just wasn't home all weekend. Nor did I do any exercising yesterday because we got home late from furniture shopping. So I will be starting up again today. But I like it. I work up a nice sweat for the 20 minutes I do the routines. I'm going to forge on.
Punkie is in New Hampshire with my in-laws for the week. They left yesterday and will be home on Saturday. I slept in this morning until 7:00; it was very nice. I have a few evenings of Mama-Free duties so I plan on doing some sewing.
End of last week and over the weekend, I finished quilting the pinwheel wall hanging and I sewed the binding on - I just need hand sew the back. I did a practice run with the machine embroidery with a shirt that I bought Punkie. The design is a bit off-center and a little too low on the shirt but I don't care. She'll wear it anyway. So now I feel a little bit better about embroidering a shirt as a gift. I think with the gift, I'm going to mark the area on the shirt where I want the embroidery in pencil to be BEFORE doing anything. I have a hard time visualizing, even when the machine shows me where the design is going to go. Why do I have these ideas AFTER the fact? I guess that's why we practice.
I will post pictures soon of everything. I would just like to have them all done.
Enjoy your day!

Good for you for trying, I always struggle with my embroidery hoop placement. Get lots of sewing done this week!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Rachel on winning the giveaway! How exciting that you bought a new couch and recliner-- I wish I could do the same. I have an old futon that is a magnet for cat hair. Hope you enjoy your few evenings of freedom and get to do lots of sewing.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing SO WELL! I am so proud of you!!! What are you going to do with those 12 extra days haha. And with the exercise on the Wii - well, you're just going to live forever!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh... will you post pics of the new furniture? And your projects? I want to see how the little shirt turns out.
And thanks to you and the random number generator. I am SO EXCITED that I won your giveaway. Thank you thank you! You're the best, Jen!
Can you even believe how many cigarettes you have NOT smoked. That is crazy. I'm so proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI hope Miss Punkie is having a good time. And I'm glad your gettin some rest.
Soooo where is the photo of the new furniture.We need to see. You know the rules. lol
Congratulations to Rachel -- I think she's taking over my role of winning lots of giveaways! I don't know what kind of embroidery machine you have, but if it will baste a block around the design, do that first on a sticky stabilizer -- then you will know where the design is going to be. Just put your t-shirt on top of the sticky and embroider away. Show us your projects!!!
