Tuesday!

     Good Tuesday to you!  I have been busy already this week.  Work is good.  Home is good!  I am steadily working on my food intake.  This does not mean a diet because if you label it that you will never succeed.  I am calling it a change in eating habits.  All the bad food is almost gone from the house.  I have been to the grocery store twice and did not buy any bad things.  It's been all fresh fruit and veggies, with some steamers(but those are good for you I checked) and lots of chicken and even a turkey breast.  Oh and the water intake is GREAT.  I have had no soda for over a week.  I miss soda:(!  The exercise part is slow because it has either been to cold or raining to walk outside so to replace that I have taken up riding a stationary bike and doing Wii exercises.  On to the really good stuff.  I have finished 5 stitching projects.  So I did new a new start.  I really want to do this one each month that it is.  CC new monthly cottage series.  I started January.  I liked Jennifer's idea of doing them singularly but I did the Little House ones that way.  I am doing them all together so we will see how that turns out. 
     I have been writing little daily goals for myself.  Things like drink X amount of water, clean this or that, stitch for X amount of time, eat the right things and remember to think good thoughts about myself and others.  I started this this week so if it helps I will keep it up.  I write them on a post it and put it on my phone so when I look at the phone I remember to do those things.  So far so good.  I'll keep you up to date.  I am really striving for a more positive out look on life.  I hope everyone is too.  There are people out there that thrive on controlling what those around them think and do.  Don't be like that as the saying goes Karma can be a Bitch.  I believe in Karma.  In fact I have been on the receiving end of some.   So I hope you read this and feel HAPPY HAPPY THOUGHTS towards yourself and others. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Cindy 

ten minutes

I just finished two little pin keeps in only ten minutes.  Aren't they just the best little things!  Sherry Sheep and Penny Penguin.  I just love them!!

Together or single?

I sit here on this cold January morning trying to decide if I should stitch CC's January as a single piece or stitch all of the months together. I have to say I'm leaning toward all together. Any opinions? Please help me decide. Thanks!

Ok so I go on for a bit more.

I decided I will keep blogging for now.  I like it.  I hope if you are reading you do too.

So I have decided to set small obtainable goals this year.  The first is to not only talk positive but be positive.
Second to remember I am a person worth knowing(low self esteem).  Third eat healthier.  Fourth finish some of my projects.  Fifth I am going to set aside one weekend a month for "finishing" those projects I stitch and never do anything with.  Finally the big one lose weight.
    The first two are more about me than anything and will just have to work on a little at a time.  The fourth one I have already made some progress.  I finished SB Come Home, I started a few months ago at lunch trying to make it a lunch time project finish in a couple days and be done.  It lasted one day and got shoved into another bag and forgotten. I all so finished SB Merry Wishes.  I just need a quick stitch and evening and it was done.  But nope started got busy with something else, into a bag forgotten.  I finished a third project SB Scaredy Sheep.  I don't even remember starting it but I had.  So that's three finishes for the New Year and all in the first week.  The third is going pretty well my hubby and I have started cooking better less fat less carbs more protein.  This will help with the weight loss.  I have not set aside a weekend as of yet but I'm thing maybe the last weekend  of the month.  Because next weekend I'm seeing a friend and the following is my son's birthday.  I don't even want to think about that at all.
      I have a few projects lined up to finish next so keep watching.

Trying to decide on something.

I have been trying to decide on continuing my blog.  I would like some in put.  Can you help? Is what I am writing keep you reading, is it entertaining?  Thanks.

JOY!!!!

I am writing to express my joy.  My daughter graduated with her Bachelor's Degree!  I am so proud of her!  It took some time for her to figure out just what she wanted to do, but once she did she went for it with everything she had.  I can't express the happiness for her.  She will go on to do GREAT things. 

Oh my mojo where are you?

    I just wanted to update so you know I'm still here.  I really have not been doing much crafting in the last week.  I have been missing the mojo.  I know we all have days where it flows less then others but when it doesn't flow at all, its a problem.  I did order the minky for the back of a quilt I have been working on for way too long.  That should be here this week and I can finish it and give it to it's owner. YEA!  He has been so patient with me.  But I really don't know how I get myself into these things.  Oh yeah, I open my mouth and say I can do that.  I can but we all know it's a mojo thing.  Mine has been hit or miss, mostly miss this year.  I have been trying but it happens when it wants to.  I did do alittle stash cleaning.  Which leads to stash shopping.  It is good to know I would have added these things anyway.  I ordered and received the new Shepherd's Bush.  They shipped so fast.  I ordered last Saturday and I had my package by Tuesday.  I really do LOVE those ladies.  I even had a little surprise in my package.  If you haven't seen them you need to hop over to their blog and take a peek.  After I got my package I realized I should have put them on my Christmas List. OOPS!
