90 Day Challenge

-

 My coach at Macro's Inc talked me into entering their 90-day challenge, pretty simple really, you send in a starting photo, and whomever makes the biggest progress wins - real money!!  Now for me to share a photo of myself on social media?  Doesn't happen often, and rarely happens without one of my kids in the same photo.   But here is my entry photo 



The note was to show the date, but also a note to my MI coach Hannah who has more faith in me than I do myself.   Anyway - challenge has been entered.   My weight Sunday was 243 so that's where I'm starting - let's see what I can accomplish in the next 90 days. 

Weight Loss - Still taking 7.5 Tirzepatide, not real sure what this one is compounded with, but my excema is clearing up from my hands, so that's good.   Dropped another 3 pounds since the last time I posted here - about 10 days ago, so happy with that.   In checking my last few weigh ins, I'm steadily losing 1.4 pounds a week - without trying.   These meds have truly been lifechanging.   It's amazing to go to bed at night not thinking about what you are going to eat the next day.   It's amazing to eat half a burger, realize you are full, and put the rest away (or horrors upon horrors, I've actually thrown food away)   After the Mochi fiasco, I have enough meds for the next 6 months.  I have to check expiration dates on all of them - I know the one I just received from MEDVi came from Boothwyn Pharmacy and it's set to expire June 25, so even though I just received it - I'll use that next.  I'll use the original ones from EliLilly last as they don't expire until July 2026 (not compounded).

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 !
