Life Moves....

Well, I have no new sewing to report. My gymnastic suits remain on my desk next to my sewing machine unsewn. We were out of town last weekend for Memorial day weekend, we went boating on the Colorado river at Palo Verde, CA. It was great. We had about 30 people with 6 boats. It was the maiden voyage for our new boat and I am happy with everything about it! Yeah! The week before the trip was spent planning, buying, and packing for the trip. We camped so that is always a lot more planning, buying and packing. The weekend before that I thought I would have some time to sew, but my sister needed some emergency help embroidering some Rodeo Queen sashes.....that took 5 hours, then we went out to eat with my in-laws. And there was a birthday party and a graduation party thrown in there. I have been busier than I like to be! So, I have decided to kick up my weight loss a notch and I joined the jillian michaels website. I read her book Master your Metabolism and it made so much sense to me that I decided it was time to work a little harder at removing the weight! I just started at this (day 2), so I don't have much to report yet. I am just glad that I am motivated to do something! If you have weight to lose, go get that book and read it! I got mine at Target, so it is easy to find! I don't want to go on and on about it, but it made me want to make a change. I definitely want to get some swimsuits going (for my daughters and me) after I finish up the gymnastic suits. My goal is to have the suits done before gymnastics this coming Monday. It is good to have goals...... Later!

Hello! I just want to thank You for Your very inspiring blog about sewing & for the reviews on the patternreview.com. They are very well appreciated as I do not have the ideal "thin" body - much larger than You. You use very nice/becoming patterns and fabrics. I envy Your talents!

Wow! Thanks for the compliment! It isn't always easy finding clothes that look great on a body that doesn't great!

Hi Judy,
Congrats on the motivation for the weight loss. Over the years I slowly packed on 60-70 pounds which need to come off soon. My motivation recently has been to cut the sweets I was snacking on daily. My goal is to lose the weight in 5 lbs. increments. Wish me luck! Btw, the boating trip sounds amazing.
