 I know I've already discussed how much I love my waist beads for helping me keep track of weight loss - it's only a tool, but just like the scale - it helps ME - and that's the point.   I recently had someone turn up their nose that this set of beads had been around my waist for nearly 2 years.   

2 years of showers, ocean water, pool water, camping, regattas, hiking - pretty much life - and the cotton thread that holds the beads - still white as the day I put them on.  


Adinkra Expo – Adinkra Expo


That's where I bought mine - mainly because the offered a 60" length - which I needed .... in the beginning.   Now I don't, but since I bought a bunch my first order - I can now make bracelets and anklets with the leftover beads - so it's a win.   So no, they don't get dirty, and no, it's not disgusting that they tie on and you never take them off - as long as you shower/bathe regularly.   

GLP-1 journey - still at it.   Realized I was getting hungry really fast after an injection, so I'm assuming that the compounded meds I have on hand are losing their efficiency.   Opened a new bottle today - came from Empower pharmacy - that's who Mochi finally ended up with - so it's the same strength I had been on 6.6 and .5 dose.   Hopefully that kicks in, as I haven't seen any weight loss since the bought of food poisoning last week.   Took my regular .5 dose today - so I'll keep track of how I'm feeling hungerwise, and keep drinking more water!

Weight stats are the same as they were a couple days ago - let's get that scale moving soon !!

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 !
