| 3rd Finish for 2007 |
No Soliciting is my third finish for the 2007 year. I did this cool little project with my friend Barb. (Click on her name to check her blog out.) Oh, you noticed the sun is square. lol I didn't have a button to place there like the pattern called for, so I stitched it on there. A little odd looking, but who said the sun is round? Have you seen it to know for certain? I haven't! This was a fun project to do and I stitched it on Country French Aida 14 count Cappuccino fabric, which is a pure joy to work with.

| No Soliciting! |
Unless you're selling Cross Stitch Supplies 
This cool little pattern is from Designs by Lisa. It shouldn't take long to complete, the fabric I am using is Country French Aida 14 count in the Cappuccino color. It is so soft and just an absolute joy to work with. Check back in a couple of days for the completed project. Labels: cross stitch, sal |

| Achoo update 3-16-07 |
I have been MIA in this past week and skipped several days of stitching too. Just seemed like everything was needing to be done at once around here. Had several appointments to go to and the Dentist, I am plum tuckered out now. Oh yeah, 3 more pounds are gone, gone, gone. WOOHOO! . Finally an update on Achoo! Can you believe that I am still not finished with the head of the Dalmatian? Hopefully this coming week I can make a huge dent. Did I tell you that Achoo! is being done as a SAL (stitch along) with Glenda check her out by clicking on her name. She is by far a faster stitcher and a much better stitcher then I am. She hasn't updated where she is currently, I assure you it is a lot more then what the photo there shows. . Tonight I rotate over to the Spring MSAL (mystery stitch along) from one of my yahoo groups, Chatty Stitching Exchangers. I will recieve the final part of the MSAL as soon as I go over and sign in, can't wait to see what it is of. . It's raining here with a temp down in the 30's again. Huge adjustment as it has been up in the high 70's and low 80's this week, I even had the a/c on in the car Wednesday. I'd better get going as it is stitching time and I don't want to miss that.

| How smart is your right foot? |
Got this in my email from my dear cousin Tami way down in Watkinsville, Georgia.
You have to try this, it really works. This will only take 2 seconds...
How Smart Is Your Right Foot? This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you can't.
1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.
I told you so...And there is nothing you can do about it. Make sure you pass this on to your friends. They won't be able to do it either.
*****Thanks Dear Cousin, and the point making me feel like a fool is?*****Labels: fun |

| lesson 5 |
| I lost 2 more pounds. YAY!!! A total of 11 with this program and a grand total of 31 since August and a total of 24 since November when the Dr. wanted me to lose just 15 lbs in 3 months. grrrrr Still upset over that one! If I keep doing this good I may not have the gastric bypass, but then I am having surgery anyway to repair my hernia. Have you seen Star Jones-Reynolds lately, OMGoodness!!!!! She has lost even more then when she left the View. I almost didn't recognize her, so slim now, it's like a completely new person. Maybe I will have my GB surgery while they are in there after all. :) I could be smaller then I never have been before. Now wouldn't that be a hoot! Labels: weight |

| Achoo! and spring MSAL |
 The Spring MSAL is coming along nicely. It took me three days to finish part 5 a day longer then any of the other parts. Friday I will get part 6 and then it's one more part and viola it will be completed. Have you noticed the flowers between the two topiary, I did the lazy daisy stitch on them, not the best but it was so much easier then how the chart had it, which you can notice the difference down by the numbers.
Achoo is going great, it's really beginning to look like a dog or uh well a critter at least. You can make out the nose now. It would be further along, but this week has been a slow stitching week for me. Just don't have the drive to push it like my normal routine of stitching late into the night. Instead I have been reading a book by Susan Maria Leach, more on that later. . . Want to send a HEY! out to Greg at the 'bent needle . Yup another Greg and a great stitcher too, now how cool is that, two greg's that are stitchers. (to Greg in Nebraska - WOW on the Evangeline, sure is going to be FANTASTIC. My dog's name is Peajib and her daughter Izzy is running around here someplace too.) Keep up the great stitching. . . If you notice to the left I have a list of blogs and one is LaGattaC Free Cross Stitch Patterns it's loaded with free legal patterns from all over the world, some good ones and some just ok ones. So load up on them, who knows what the future holds and you just need a small pattern for something or other. Labels: cross stitch, msal, sal |

| Happy Dance |
| I lost 7 pounds since last Thursday. WOOHOO!!! YAY!!! YIPPEEEE!!!! I am doing the Happy Dance as the best as I can. lol I was so shocked when she said that. That makes a total of 9 pounds with the Dietitian and a grand total of 29 since September. I can eat what I want, just cut way down on the portion sizes and as far as my exercise it's just walking in the house. I had to get a pedometer to count my daily steps, nothing fancy just a $5 one from Wally World. Oh yeah I gave up my most habitual thing "SODA". I don't miss it either. Not saying I haven't had any, I just don't drink it like water anymore and I drink more Crystal Lite and water now. I have to eat at least 1500 calories a day, it can get hard to get those calories up there too. Basically, what I am doing is not a diet, it's a life change of what I am eating and the amount. Eleven more pounds and the Shrink will ok it for me to have my surgery. But now I am wondering if I am losing weight on my own without being on a diet then why do I want the bypass surgery. Then it hits me I have to have the hernia fixed anyway. Okay 8 more weeks of the course and 11 pounds to go, I can manage that. lol Labels: weight |
