Sew Crafty Friday

Shereen at Waiting for Him hosts Sew Crafty Friday each week. Check out some of the cute crafts the other ladies have been doing.

I haven't done a lot of crafting this week. Basically, I've just been plugging away at my afghan. I haven't worked on it in about a month and decided I needed to get moving so I've been making a couple of squares a night. I still have 15 of the smaller ones in the picture to do and then 36 of a larger square which is just one more row of the lavender. Then I have to join them all together.

However, I thought I'd show you my progress. The purple came out darker than it really is. It's a soft lavender color.

I also made a wreath yesterday and I'm still trying to figure out where to hang it.

That's it for this week. Hopefully, I'll get some more things done this next week.

    I think lavendar and white is the most perfect Spring Color Combination ever!!!
    I love the wreath. I think you should hang it where everyone will see it, maybe even when they walk in your front door!

    I really like that wreath, I was just thinking today how I needed to make one for my front door now that the weather is nice.

    I really like the lavendar in your Afghan, Terri. Is this going to be a baby Afghan?

    Your flower arrangement is beautiful. Are they hard to make?

    Mom,

    No, it's not a baby afghan. If you look at my Sew Crafty post from about a month ago, there is a picture of it.

    The wreath was very easy. I just poked them down in the wreath and fastened them with floral wire.

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
