Another lovely September Tuesday to you all.
It's now Week 39 of Quilt Schmilt's Tuesday To-Do
link-up so after you've checked out my progress,
hop on over to see what everyone else has been up to.
You can also check out Melva Loves Scraps' Sew & Tell.
It has been a busy week around here. First we'll have
a look progress in the studio and then we'll visit a bit.
Got your coffee? Let's begin...
* * * Week 38 Priority * * *
Finish binding Simply Pumpkin & Fair Isle Friends
Take pics and list.
These are both complete! Yay!
But no pics and listing yet. Boo!
2) Finish Barberry Bramble, pic & list
Again, complete...but no pics and listing.
(Pretty sure you can guess next week's priority!)
3) Wool project--On hold.
Still waiting for the Shop Hop (Oct6 ) to get rest of fabric
4) Start next quilt--DONE.
Because this is for Monster Mash Blog hop
so not much to share here other than a teaser.
5) Get in 10K steps daily at least 6 days/week--DONE.
And lastly, let's talk about the Walk the Walk Challenge
that I'm doing with Roseanne of Home Sewn By Us.
Oh ho ho! Things are going well here! The Golfing Quilter
is killin' it. With the cooler weather, we're back to walking
(instead of riding) the course again. (I wish I could say
I was killin' it at golf but it's been very up and down there!)
I do not put my watch on first thing in the morning and I take
it off in the evening so if I come up a little short, I'm not too
worried about it--especially if the rest of my week is good.
I did reach my goal of 10K+ at least 6 days.
I think this will only get better as I have plans to play lots of golf
this fall. Incidentally, I looked at my stats for the whole year and
my average daily count was well over 12k (some over 20k) so I
figure I got this. And the impact from just this first full week?
My motivation is coming back and the attitude is more positive;
I'm feeling a little better physically and I've lost over 6lbs.
(I'm eating very well at the same time.)
If you need a little motivation and accountability, we'd love to
have you join us! After you walk the walk, put your results
on your Tuesday posts to talk the talk. Easy peasy.
Other things
We had friends over for dinner and enjoyed dessert and drinks
outside well into the evening. Life has been busy and somehow
more than a year passed since the last time we were all together.
It was really nice to catch up, laughing and having a good time.
Then I went and ruined it by having an embarrassingly bad round
of golf the next morning. So much for the good-weekend feels.
But then the Chiefs won and all the cuteness happened with
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. I don't usually go in for things
like this but I like Travis and they are my daughter's "favorite
two people in the whole world" so my fam is having some fun
watching it evolve--though I do feel a little sorry for them
having to be in the limelight through what should be a
special and mostly private thing.
Anyhoo, life goes on and eventually I'll forget how horribly
I played, right? I'll just remember the better things.
Speaking of better things, how about next week's plans?
* * * Week 40 Priority * * *
Pic and list all three finished quilts
2) Work on Monster Mash project
3) Keep walkin' the walk
Well that's all easy enough right?
Happy walking, golfing and quilting!
Happy walking, golfing and quilting!
Comments
Very impressed with your walking, I don't aim for a number of steps per day and in fact wouldn't come near 10000, however I have made the goal to walk every day. So far so good.
