Here are my first two blocks of my new strip project...
"TIDINGS OF COMFORT AND JOY"
It has a (semi-)Christmas theme in colors
--some alternate 4 block sections will use green in place of
those red/maroons..
I am using my Go!Baby strip cutter to "bash my stash" of Fat Quarters for
this one...;))
This will be a gift quilt for someone special-- all my quilts feature a
Christmassy theme on the back--and am making this side first as I have no idea how I will incorporate this fabric on the front as yet:
Racking my brains--on this one...isn't it strange how some fabrics just
stymie you? Do I even want to cut it up, use part of it, use it for borders
or what?? Simmering, simmering away.....I don't like the idea of
partial guitars for some reason....hmmmmm

We went out this morning and did our Wal- [(fahrts!! hahaha)- Mart
I mean, run;
I got my Atkins supplies--today is my day 3 on Atkins--yes oh yes, I have
decided to try to lose--actually I HAVE to lose--this x-tra weight
WEIGHT---BEGONE!!
BEGONE, WEIGHT!!
No matter how you say it...I must....I am feeling better already...I have a notebook where I write down everything I eat....
I plan on 3 phases of 10 pounds each ("I can dream, can't I?" File under
songs for every occasion); three days in and I have lost 3.1 pounds--probably mostly water weight, BUT it's gone--:~))) {hear the sound of flushing?? Hahaha} No time limit, just
push myself on....AND
Trying for 8 glasses of water/day--tough --as I have a hard time digesting water--
seems to upset my stomach somehow--but am persevering......
Will let you know how I am doing..
[riveting reading I am sure...].😉

The sun deigned to come out today--but the wind is very brisk and has quite a chill--so
no outside walking with this cough...
We are SO looking forward to Spring ("Spring, glorious Spring")

Hubster got his pre-surgury call today...he goes for pre-op testing Jan 31 and in for the actual surgery procedure on Feb 1st. Less than one week to go....hopefully this will take care of his problem once and for all....it has been 3 years now and we are tired....ya think??
[FYI: So, if I don't post for a bit after the 31st, you'll know I'm in a waiting room or driving there or home (2.5 hrs one way!!) or falling into bed....]
