Sorry...but it's been a bit crazy.

Sorry. I haven't blogged and I've been late on a few things lately but with good cause. We have had a death of a friend, the birth of a baby who is in the NICU due to breathing issues, 2 broken wrists at the same time, a broken collar bone and asthma attacks all over the last 2 weeks. What can I say......when it rains it pours.

Slowly but surely.....

So......as of right now, I'm 25 days into this "Healthier Lifestyle" thing. I weighed myself this morning and took measurements again........15 pounds down and 6.75 inches lost so far. Still have a ways to go but this makes me hopeful that I can get to looking like I did before I had kids. Ugh........damn kids! ;o)

More Crazy!

New Crazy Ex Batts!

Made up some new "Crazy Ex Batts". These babies have everything but the kitchen sink in them!









Each batt could have but is not limited to alpaca, merino, mohair, tencel, silk, bamboo, angelina, faux cashmere, angora, neps and noils. These were so much fun to make!

Lemon Lime Summer Time

I just love this Treasury! The colors are so much fun........and it doesn't hurt that they included me;o)

Holy Water

Dear Our Lady of Holy Water,

Please may I thirst for pure, natural water
and experience with every refreshing sip
its miraculous cleansing powers.

May my sins as well as fat be washed away (FAR AWAY)
and permanently eliminated from my body.

And please,
May there always be a clean bathroom nearby (with toilet paper).

AMEN.





So..........the exercising/watching what I eat thing is going pretty well thus far. 7lbs down in 3 weeks. Though I am beginning to think that it's more the water than anything. I'm trying to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day if not more. If you drink said 64 plus ounces of water or 64 plus ounces of ANYTHING for that matter, you will in fact get a work out.........like it or not.

I spend more time walking back and forth (sometimes running) to the restroom when I am home and when I am out......well, I seem to spend quite a bit of time looking for the restrooms. I must walk a couple miles a day to the john.

It is most definitely the water.
