the reverse of
Snowballs
All grays and pinks...
and aquas
[note: since I am trying to lose weight, I won't be eating any cupcakes
in the near future, so at least I can dream and pat them lol]
AND an old favorite:
I am going to iron them today, sew them up tomorrow and then have
to choose more of one of the cupcakes or bicycles for side borders to
make the backing wide enough for Snowballs....
********************************************
Today was Big Y shopping and a (dumb) decision to walk outside--that
darn ole wind was really blowing,
and so FRIGID right off the Sound...
it has taken me an hour to warm up....and a nice cuppa hot tea...
**********************************
I am really trying to watch my food intake--
and so far I have dropped 1.2 lbs...
so at least I am moving in the right direction for a change!!;000
My first goal is 5 lbs....I am not on any specific diet plan; just more
protein , less fatty and sugary foods and smaller portions . It will
definitely take a longer time,
but hopefully it will STAY OFF...
oh---- and some form of exercise each day...oof-dah...

I love your backing fabrics. I use up a lot of stash when I piece my backing. I always watch what I eat. I hate it but it works!
ReplyDeleteGood choices for the backing and hot tea to warm up. I've been drinking a lot of it lately, too.
ReplyDeleteYour backing fabrics sound perfect. Funny how it seems it takes less time to put on weight than to lose it. I too am walking
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be a fun back for your snowballs! We had awful wind yesterday also--complete with snow. I don't think it will ever end for us--stay warm!
ReplyDeleteYour plan will absolutely work! Eat less, move more is a recipe for success. I have been doing the watching what I eat part but not the exercise part. It STILL works! Imagine what I could do if I actually was a little more active. You've picked some super fun fabrics for your next project!
ReplyDeleteIt's snowing here for a second day in a row. We had gusts to 50mph yesterday, but over all it is a mild temp in the 30s. I hope it melts fast.... I could make you a snowball in a hurry here. Lol
ReplyDeleteHugs
Those cupcakes look good enough to eat. Good luck on your better eating. I am counting calories but it takes forever. Guess it's true , the older you get the harder it is to lose
ReplyDeleteLove the choices for backing. I agree the wind here is awful blew over a planter.
ReplyDeleteFun backing choices, I love a touch of whimsy or surprise on quilt backs. Cold here too, and now drizzling. A sewing day tomorrow, I suspect.

Oh such a good choice of backing fabrics - those cupcakes look delicious, guess you'll be avoiding those for eating right now. Good to hear your goal of weight loss is working, I am trying to do the same, I need to shed quite a few kilos!
