NYE 2025

-

 Wow - what a year 2025 has been.   I've accomplished so much - 

Who is that person?   I'm having a really hard time with my identity now.   I see myself in the Ring camera and it doesn't look like me.   When you've been super obese, seeing yourself as a normal person, well, my brain just isn't making that connection yet.

I did get an email this morning from Zozo Fit that if I made my end of the year video - I'd be entered to win $500 !  How cool would that be !! Here's my end of the year video: 


Pretty cool right?   You don't "NEED" the super suit to do scans, but I still have my original suit when I weight 300+ pounds - maybe they'll send me a new one if I win LOL 

My coach with Macros Inc is running a new 6 month Challenge starting Jan. 5th.   I've gotta say I'm super excited to be working with her for another year.   She doesn't take clients anymore - she's moved up the corporate ladder - I'm her last one ...... thinking of Mae Mobley right her, she was also the last one - and if my coach walked away from me right now, I'd pound on the window just like little Mae Mobley.  If you check it out, and decide to hire a coach - or do the free trial (I think it's 2 weeks) shoot me a message here or somewhere - I have a $50 GC that I can send ya !!

Oh - and my final stats from 2025 ... 

I lost 76.8 pounds this year.   Total - 166 pounds gone.   My biceps are coming back.  I feel freaking amazing.   My "Word" for next year is "RE" - because I need to redefine my identity, reclaim my life, reimagine what that life looks like, and reawaken the soul inside that I've allowed to nearly disappear.   I'm going to rethink and rediscover who I am and what I want for my new future.  See ya in 2026!

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 !
