Hi Everyone,
Well, just look what Julie of The Intrepid Thread (great on-line fabric shop...it ROCKS...and so does Julie!...check it out!) whipped up for you as a free tutorial for The Quilted Fish Design Team! Oh, my goodness. It is so cute and so clever! Just this morning, I was thinking, "I wonder if I could have made something for the 4th of July out of that Sugar and Spice fabric that Amanda sent us." Well, Julie sure figured out how to. I think this is just adorable! Click here to go to the tutorial to get the instructions for making it. You can download the instructions there, too. Kudos to Julie for a really cute project and one that is oh, so clever! It is so fun to be part of this group!
I sure hope to get back to regular blogging here soon. I'm still trying to catch up a little. I have been back on the diet since I've been home. Did okay while I was gone. Was trying to lose more while being gone, but gave that up and just hoped for maintenance about 3 weeks into the trip. Well, I actually lost 1.4 pounds while I was gone, so that was good! And I've lost a little more since being home. So far, in total, I've lost 18.8 pounds. Wow, it feels like it's really starting to add up, and I can get into some clothes I couldn't before. So, I'm psyched.
I'll have to give you a photo soon. I got my haircut today, and I told the gal I was sick of fighting my curls and tring to pull and iron my hair straight. I decided to let it go curly. I'll have to see what you all think. I feel like I need more highlights now, as I think it looks too dark all of a sudden.
Better run. Hope to be "talking" with you all more soon. I am working on catching up on blogs, too! :-)
Until next time,
Mama Pea
