Family News I worked on my crib quilt tonight for the first time in a few weeks. I was working on it a lot, but then I came down with a major sinus infection and didn’t feel like doing anything, so it got put to the side. Anyway I’m working on the backstitch detail work. There’s a lot of it, but I’m making good progress. I’m guessing if I put a lot of time into it, I could have it ready to put together in a week or so.
I ordered the quilt blocks so that I can make each of the girls quilts. I let them pick the pattern, and they picked some really cool ones. Des is getting intertwining hearts, and Meg is getting an octogon shape with a flower inside. I’ll have to take them on a trip up to Topeka to let them pick out the colors they want for the quilts.
Anyway, I was going to finish up here, and then work on my crib quilt a bit more, but I’m getting tired, so I think I’ll get a light snack, and head off to bed.

Piggy Bank To me the term “artwork prints” could cover a large area. What is art to one person, isn’t art to another person.
I like pictures, and artwork of wild animals. That’s always been my thing, especially ones of horses, wolves, and big cats. In fact I saw this most awesome counted cross-stitch kit for an amazing picture of a male lion. It was just awesome!!! Maybe when I get some of my current projects done and out of the way I can get it.

Piggy Bank I’m not sure whether slimming pills is really what I’m looking for, but you see I have a poochy tummy that I absolutely hate!! I’ve lost some weight over the last year or so, but the tummy stays with me. Ugh!
I had someone tell me that I was cute the other night. It was nice to hear, but I don’t really believe it. I don’t really have the build for cute, or pretty. I’m stocky, or big boned, or whatever you want to call it.

Piggy Bank I have all sorts of storage food containers. I think my favorites are a bowl set, complete with tight fitting lids, that I got from Tupperware a few years ago.
I have all sorts of pans and dishes too. Dad pretty much completed my collection a few days ago with some high quality cookie sheets, and a couple of glass bread pans. So I can pretty much make anything I want, and have the containers to store it in too.

Piggy Bank I know some of my blog entries get a bit repetitive, and weight loss pills is one of them. All I can say is that I do the assignments they send me, while also trying to give them a personal touch. To write what I truly feel about the subject.
Someone asked me why I do the work I do, was it for the money?? The answer to that is “I write for myself most of all, getting paid for some of them is just a bonus.”

Piggy Bank A good natural sleep aid is hard work, or maybe I should term that as “staying busy”. I’m not saying you have to go out for a 20 mile hike, or anything like that, I’m just saying that staying busy is a good way to feel ready for bed.
I’ve been busy here at home today, and I’m feeling calm and relaxed. I’m going to finish up a few blogging things, and then perhaps finish up a section on the crib quilt that I’m working on, and then I’ll be ready for bed.

Piggy Bank You know reviews are great. It gives you a look at what other customers have thought of a particular item.
Perhaps if I were more interested in the hydroxycut reviews I would make it a point to go read them, but right now I just have too many other things that take my time. However for those of you that are interested in Hydroxycut, I strongly recommend reading the reviews.

Family News Well I’ve gotten a lot accomplished today, so I’m happy with myself.
Washed, dried, and folded a bunch of laundry. Swept the kitchen, and vacuumed the livingroom and the girls’ room. Cleaned the litter pans of course, as that is a daily occurance here. I helped the girls make their beds, and did a whole bunch of work earlier today. I also made dinner.
Now I’m back to finish up the last few work items, and then maybe work on my quilt a bit.
