weigh in & Christmas Decorations

Believe it or not I lost weight this past week. 2.8 lbs for a total of 15 lbs. While part of me wants to rejoice, part of me still thinks the lasagna we had at Thanksgiving will soon catch up with me. : )

I thought I would share with you some picture of our Christmas decorations.

Our main tree, with the girls Little People's Santa village on the table.


My Front tree, Silver and white, some day I hope to have it covered with homemade ornaments.


My husbands tree, full of ornaments his Mother made and the Trains my daughters get him every year.


Our Fireplace Mantel


And finally My FIL's hour glass, My MIL's Candle holder and her Santa Picture I finished.

Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone !!!

I thought I would share with you pictures of my pumpkins, since I asked how to display them. Tomorrow they get packed away and the girls will help me get the Christmas stuff up.

I hope that your day was full of family, wonderful food and memories.

Monday's weigh in

I lost 2.4 lbs !!!! and have passed my 10lb mark, I am now offically at 12.2 lbs lost. I really need to watch myself this week. We are having our traditional Thanksgiving Lasagna and all the extras.

Here is the picture of the DD's that I promised you. They put on their Iowa State Sweatshirts for their Dad.



I hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Until next time, I pray that you will stay safe and healthy.

I finally Finished a project

which since I have a major finishing phobia (I can't sew) is amazing. So now maybe I can get back to stitching. : )

Since the 4 ornaments are for the Dec issue of The Gift of Stitching, I can't show you the entire picture until them but here is a sneak preview.



Now I just have to put up a christmas tree and take a picture for the magazine.

I don't know if i will have lost weight tomorrow or not, I rediscovered two of my food loves Friday, baked goods and tacos. It made for a couple of large point days. I'll let you know.

I'm still here

Just recovering from a cold that turned into a sinus infection. I'm starting my second full day on the antibodics, so I should be feeling better soon.

I did go to weigh in on Monday and it hasn't changed. Tracy says it's probable because I have so much crap in my head. ;)

I'm still not stitching, although I desperately need to. I purchased the last of the stuff I need to turn my pieces into ornaments for the Dec issue of TGOS. I will work on those tonight and this weekend,(there are four of them).

The DD's are DH are doing just fine. It is turning colder here, which I am thankful for. Last week DD#2 and I went for a walk to look at red trees in the neighborhood. here is one of my favorite pictures.

Weigh in

Well today was weigh in day. I was a little apprehensive because I have eaten a little closer to the top of my points this week. I was feeling deprived. But I guess I didn't need to worry, I lost 4.2 lbs and am only 2/10 of a lb away from 10 lbs. Hopefully next week.

I'm still not stitching, I really need to get started on my January Project for The Gift of Stitching. I thought I had the perfect fabric, but the I didn't receive the right size (my fault)so now I am looking for another piece and I don't have the time to order it on line. Darn guess I have to go to the LNS tomorrow. : )

Halloween Pics

Here are some pics of the girls from last night.
