A good progress

I finally finished the skirt on my Pansy. To tell you the thruth I was getting tired of it: lots of purples ... But once I was done, I was able to move up to the top of her dress. I stitched the green very fast and I even started an arm. It took me 22 days to stitch her skirt ... Now, I think I'm going to run out of the Kreinik that was needed for the skirt (and that sucks big time because I don't have a lot of options: I'll have to make a mail order for it as I don't have a LNS close by ... ) and a purple DMC that I will have to pay a fortune to be able to keep stitching (but at least I can get it here ... ) So there are two possibilities: either I wasted too much Kreinik or I had to buy two of them and nobody told me ... I don't know anybody who stitched it so I can't tell ... It may be me after all.

Have you seen the new Pixies by Nora Corbett? I know some find them very simple. I like Lavender, I like her simplicity but I'm not sure, she will be a good match to Pansy and Sweet Pea. She's too simple, isn't she? What do you think?

My SIL got released from the hospital during the week. They didn't really find anything beside a dislocated knee and a dislocated vertebrae in her neck. What is weird is that she left the hospital with just a medecine. What about her knee? We don't know. They did tell her to loose weight but no words on what's going to be done for the knee ... And once again, it's hard to get informations from here ...

Summer is maybe over but I decided it was time for me to go back to an exercise routine in order to loose some weight. Maybe you remember I already tried, back in january. Unfortunately, I injured myself while exercising and couldn't get back to my routine then I gave up (oops ) Last week, I decided I really needed to loose some weight so I started to walk again with the Leslie Sansone DVD's but this time I decided to do it progressively: first week, one mile, second week, 2 miles and so on ... Because if my brain is ready for exercise, my body may not ... I didn't want to go too fast and injure myself again. I did weight myself and took the measure around my body and will weight myself only in 6 weeks. It may sound like an eternity but I read that's what it takes to really see results. So I'll wait . I created a new blog to keep me motivated, so bookmark it if you want to follow my (funny? ) journey in the weight loss world !!! Here is my new blog ! I hope you'll join me there to encourage me in this difficult quest !!!
