YAA IT'S FRIDAY

Only a few more days till the kids go back to school.  They have been really excellent these holidays, but that doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to them being at school again.

I've not got any plans for today at all.
I think it will be a 'stay at home, blob out' sort of day.

Some sewing will probably get done... I've not done any more of the lounger cover, so that could be my mission today.

The kids are happy to amuse themselves most days, which is neat.

I'm also going to get on the treadmill for half an hour... and maybe the exercycle too.  No time like the present to get moving more.

It's all going to help with the weight loss after all.

Well... that's about 'it' from me for now... fairly short post for the day so far!

ONWARD...

I just took 'before' photos of ME.  It ain't pretty, it's almost as bad as when I first started 10 years ago!


The thought of putting them on here is embarrassing... really ashamed of myself... but I'm going to.  This is me being accountable... and well honest.   I lost the plot in the last 6 years and this is the result:


ABOVE:  my new start.  I must be serious!
The biggest 'problem' zone is the bust... OMG !

But, I can fix it.  Just watch me.  There will be a new set of photos taken on a monthly basis.  

Now I'm off to vacum... it's exercise of course.

Well... it's been a good day so far.  I got the housework done, then started joining all the blocks for the lounger cover.  Got that done, then did the quilting... and now I'm about to start adding the backing 'envelope' part so I can put it on the squab.

Dinner is happily simmering away in the frying pan... a steak 'n' kidney stew.  We will have spuds and veges with it.


ABOVE:  finished it.  

Off to watch Coronation Street now...

End of Day:  A nice day... so happy to have finished that squab.  It got so cold down in the garage tonight I had to get my electric throw out to keep warm.  I can't believe how QUICKLY the temperatures dropped here.
Off to bed now... it's freakin' 1 am!

  8. Nice job on the lounger cover. I'm watching Coronation Street on Hulu.com and am now up to 2014... slowly making my way up to date so that I can watch it completely up to date! I watch about 2 or three episodes a day (22 minutes each) - usually while cooking or doing other jobs.

  11. The lounge seat looks nice and bright! I keep saying some day I'm going to make cushions for all my chairs outside but I never get to it.

    WTG on the pics of yourself and getting back to it. It's so hard to "do it again" but you will feel great when you get there.
