75 Days Hard

-

 Just got back from a whirlwind trip to Florida - still trying to find "the" area where I would like to spend my remaining days.  Started at DeLand, FL where Adam was rowing and worked my way South to West Palm Beach - didn't really find anything that made me go YES - so the search continues !!

While I was in West Palm Beach I was able to meet up with my old trainer - Coach Strauss, and we got a couple workouts in.   He challenged me to do 75 Days Hard.  I knew a little about it - not a lot - so of course I said yes !!  Made a spreadsheet - you can find it here -


75 Day Hard Google Sheet


If you download it - please save it to your own computer before making changes so that the original stays intact.  Complete all blue boxes - pounds or kg - if you choose pounds here in the USA - the KG will go red so you only do one.   For Protein range - I follow Macros, Inc - I've had a coach for a few years - it helps.  But you can run your Macros for free even without a coach and if you are on FB they have a very active group - if you post your stats and what the Macros were suggested, a coach will come along and either verify them, or change them a little based on your answers to a few questions.  Make sure that unless you are a bricklayer or something similar you choose sedate for your job - most jobs are NOT active!!  If you do end up getting yourself a coach - I would love it if you said I referred you - I think I get $$ off my monthly rate if I do, but not sure !!

OK - off to read my 10 minutes, plan out my meals for the day - order groceries, and clean the fridge.  Goals for the day - and one load of laundry which is already in the dryer ;)

And my word for 2023 - CALM ..... which I got from 



and no, I have no idea what it means LOL

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
