Lifestyle

Yesterday I thought I would go up to New Minas to look for a few items and some fabric daughter wanted pictures of. I left only to realize the quilt shop wasn't open on Monday. I went into our community to look for the plastic rings for the Halloween wall hanging and a tub for the knitting needles. I got the tub but not the rings. As I was getting into my car from the 4th store, my friend texted to say she had found hers. I got 10 from her. 

We had a good visit talking about several things and then I was home to make dinner. In all it was a backwards day for me. 

I ate well yesterday with portion control. No snacks or sweets. It went well and I was satisfied. I will continue to eat on my plan so I can get rid of the weight. I know some of my soreness is from the extra weight I am carrying. 

Sewing

I sewed in the morning and finished the 2 pot holders. I am pleased with the collection. 

I plan on selling it as a collection but will price each piece individually so people can buy what they want. It is all on the cutting table waiting for me to put away into a tub. I have to put ribbon on the mug rugs and see how I will package the potholders. 

Knitting

I knit the first pattern and have a cable completed. 

Only 9 more repeats to under the arm. I hope to knit 2 repeats most nights. 

Thoughts

    I walked 1.2 km yesterday looking for the rings for the wall hanging. I was a bit sore from it but I did it. I need to walk more so am looking forward to walking on the indoor track at the arena. I have my stride back and am not hurting like I was. 

    I am getting back into alignment as I had only 1 pop last night. Better than a crack. My torso muscles are not hurting which is great. I am hoping that everything stays in place so I can do more each day. I lost a lot of strength while recovering from the SI joints being out. 

    I was thrilled that my friend found the rings so I can complete the wall hanging. She has a jar full of them and uses them on occasion for her projects. 

    I didn't look at decluttering the sewing room yesterday. I have to find a box for the books and go through the patterns. Yesterday was archives which are items you put into a memory box or binders or file boxes. Most of my archives are on display as I have the space to do that. I archive most of my work on my blog and my tetra drive. 

Today

I am going to finish my list of chores from yesterday. I want to finish the wall hanging and work on the books and patterns. Tonight I will knit on the vest. It is a stay at home day for me.
