I LOVE FABRIC

I love fabric and I have way too much and I shouldn't be buying anymore but I couldn't help myself.  I bought a kit to make this gorgeous quilt.  When I saw this quilt I fell in love and had to have the fabrics.  I will make it one day after I have finished all the other projects on my list.


Had a busy weekend it was Jarrod's birthday on Saturday he turned 11.  He invited a few friends over and they wanted KFC and pizza's.......yummy........there goes the diet again.



and speaking of diets.  I forgot to post about my weight loss after my 6 week check a few weeks ago.  Maybe because I wasn't that excited about it I didn't lose anything.  Well I lost half a kilo which is nothing to brag about.  Too much eating while we were away on holiday but at least I didn't put anything on.  I have dropped a dress size which I'm happy about and I feel alot better and have bought myself some new clothes.  I've been really good the last few weeks so fingers crossed I have a good result next weigh in.

The quilt I posted about in the previous post is now at the quilters  and I started on some orders.  One down........



Friday is my hubby's birthday we are going out for dinner.............oh no more food!!!! 

And I forgot to post about Julia's birthday.  She was upset with me that I didn't post about her birthday so here she is.  Her birthday was January 14 and she turned 9 years old.  We celebrated while we were at the beach house. 


Ok back to more sewing.  Have a great weekend.

Hi Carol, don't be too hard on yourself for not losing much weight. I think with Christmas and then going away ( I always over eat when we go away) and birthdays it would be very hard to do. I'm also like you I have way too much fabric but it's very hard not to buy anything new! Happy birthday to Jarrod and Julia, they grow up too quick and I hope Julia's finger is all better now. take care, Maryann

You have been busy with so many things since christmas.- birthdays and poor Julias finger. Hope colonoscopy went well.
Diets are such a pain in the butt - something some of us have to struggle with forever (well I do anyway)
Have a great weekend

Hi Carol

You are right, at least you didn't put on weight, it takes time too loose it, you should indeed be proud you've dropped a dress size, now you'll have a good excuse to buy new clothes!

Happy Birthday to your family - wow sounds like a busy celebrating time

As for the material - think of it as an investment

Hi Carol,
You must nearly have that quilt finished by now right?:)
Congratulations on your weight loss, even half a kilo is an achievement considering how much harder it is to lose than to put on!
