Blog Change

So far I have failed at the whole blog thing. One would think, with all the stuff I cram into a single day, I would have all kinds of stuff to write about. Right? Oh!!! Believe me I have a ton I could write about its just the motivation to do it that I lack.
That is why I'm changing my original thought about what my blog would be about.  It will from now on be about everything...Wait? Isnt that what I already said it would be about? Yes, but with a different approach.

All of my life I've been...?....you could say "A big girl" but recently Ive been making changes in my life and have so far been able to lose 30 since the new year of 2011. But! I still have another 40lbs to lose before I get to my goal weight. I twisted my hubby to make an almost $300 investment in my health and weight loss plan by ordering me Turbo Fire!!!!!!!!! I have the Punch Kick and Jam from the Turbo Jam series but have never used it. For the few months I've been building my endurance for physical activity by doing ZUMBA!!! Which I love and do not plan on ever stopping but to prepare myself for the awesomeness of Turbo Fire I have decided to start the Turbo Jams and do it for the next week until my Turbo Fire is delivered. I plan on posting videos of my making a fool of myself while exercising soon as well as plenty of picks and updates of my physical changes.
Dont worry though! I'm still goin got be doing all my crafts and posting them too. ......Like I ever really did before, right? www.buyturbofire.com

Long Time, No Talk

Sorry Sorry Sorry!! So....I've finished sewing the blankets and trying to overcome the boredom and finish tacking them.
I have friends/family members having babies in Dec and so I need to get busy with making some diaper bags  and hats and blankets and...lol well you get the point.
I have also started making hair clips and barrettes for my little girls and my nieces. Once I get more made I will post Pictures.

The Next Project

This is a blanket my Great Grandmother made for me when I was...I think...14? Give or take a year. She made My sister, Haddi, and I blankets but in a small more toddler friendly size when we were...toddlers. My mom says she still has them. This one though....is my blankie! I use it all the time My sister, on the other hand, has never used hers afraid it will wear out.It's a pretty simple quilt..... a pc of cotton fabric backed with a pc of super soft fleece like cotton fabric with a thin pc of polyester batting  tacked together by hundreds of little hand knotted yarn threads(you can see the tacks all over in the picture) and every stich of sewing was done by hand....Love went into this!!

Unfortunately, my kids were not able to get to know my grandma and she wasn't able to make them blankets before she past away.. So, I took my kids to Hancock Fabrics yesterday and let them pick out the patterns and colors just like my sister and I did over 12 years ago!! I'm excited to get these done! I am going to use a sewing machine so I will be cheating a little, but Just as much love will be put into these blankets as my grandma put into mine.

I spent a couple hours of my day washing and ironing the material and It's ready to use!!! So hopefully I will remember to take pictures of the Journey Of Quilting and most of maybe I will remember to Blog! lol.

The Starling Handbag

Ok  So I just got done with this handbag. It took me awhile but I did it! It's called The Starling Handbag, I found the pattern on another blog FutureGirlCraftBlog and Had to do it. I added my own touches and am very please with how it turned out.

What a horrible start!!!!!!!

SO......I knew it had been a long time since I started and that I had to get back on here and start again....But, I hadn't realized that it had been over 3 full months!!!!! Geeze, I'm sorry to all the millions of readers I have(I have none hehehe). So again....from here on out I plan on trying to post a blog daily. Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....again

In the begining.......

Well, I've got it all set up. Now, I've got to get into the groove of telling it all to a computer. I've never really done the diary thing but am very excited to make an electronic map(story) of my everyday life. WARNING: I'm not holding back on here or going to worry about what people think of what I say...do...feel...whatever might end up on here is a mystery but be open to opinions people. I'm a busy bee and love to do crafts and extra curricular activities, so there will be lot of pictures of current projects and I'm sure a ton of pictures of my family.
