New Month - But BEWARE OF MOCHI

-

 Lots of news to share this week.   Only .4 of a pound lost since March 25th.   Need to move more for sure, plus I've been lax on getting my water in.   Meds still keeping the food noise at bay, but some trashy eating when traveling plus slacking on getting my protein in - taught me a lesson.   Need to keep up "all the things" in order to continue dropping weight at a quicker clip.    

Now - Mochi.   I was happy that I went with Mochi to start my journey.   They seemed reliable and affordable, and professional.   My opinion of them have changed greatly since March 25th - only because more investigation has led to some interesting discoveries.   First - the pharmacy that was close - owned by the same owners of Mochi - that sent up some red flags.   And then all of the people on Facebook complaining that they haven't been sent their meds (some since February) and they have been charged multiple times - and fighting to get refunded.   Nope - that's not for me.  I asked for a refund multiple times since I pay 3 months ahead of time, and they haven't filled March yet - and crickets.   So - American Express to the rescue - I filed for a refund, uploaded all my documentation, and they refunded my money.  Pretty simple and easy.   I do have 2 calls to meet other doctors today - one with Bridgeside Telehealth - this morning.   That one sends their Tirz subscriptions to Eli Lilly - so that will be reliable hopefully - but probably much more expensive.   The other one this afternoon is with Medvi - I think I'd like to go with them because they compound with the same B vitamin that Mochi did and their compounded mixture did not cause me any discomfort or distress, so I think I'd like to go with them - but we'll see.   

Other than that - not much new is happening.   New fig starts are on the back porch - but it got cold so hopefully they'll be okay.   Need to get other seeds started, just don't have the umpf needed.

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 !
