Oops - totally forgot about a post for today. Full disclosure - usually I write my quilt-y posts at night before I go to bed, to automatically post early the next morning. Well last night I went for a walk late in the evening after it cooled off. Then I got distracted by a group text chat with my girls. Never gave another thought to a blog post. And that is totally OK.
I haven't walked a whole mile in about 3 years - from long before my first hip replacement surgery when the pain kept me from walking much. It's way past time to get back into walking mode so I've recharged my Fitbit, and pulled out the walking shoes. One more 1 mile walk actually happened early this morning. Can I have the discipline to make this a habit again? I'm going to try.
Starting another new project isn't exactly a smart thing to do, but I saw a mystery quilt was starting online at Bear Creek Quilting Company. It's been awhile since I've done a mystery quilt, so I decided to jump in. Monday I went to The Pin Cushion to shop for the 4 fabrics I needed to go with the print I already had so that I could do the first month's clue. BTW - Bear Creek also has some great FREE patterns that I've used in the past.
As we get close to the end of the month and the beginning of a new month, my brain has been sifting through project goals for July. And for this week, which is what is below . . .
* Walk a mile EVERY day!!
* add final border to the Liberty Box quilt
* finish binding the RSC quilt (Rainbow Connections)
* bind small Christmas table topper
* sew RSC Chaser blocks into rows
* Tranquility Mystery Quilt - do month #1 clue
That should be enough to keep me busy for a few days. It's a busy week - and tonight I'm going to a class at The Pin Cushion on big stitch quilting. Should be fun!!
If you focus on your new goal like you do your quilting, I know you’ll be successful.
ReplyDeleteI do my post like you the night before and schedule. Good on walking the mile a day - I wish I had a trail here close to me but I am in the country so need to get in the car to do it so I have a peddle machine here at home and treadmill. Hope all your flooding is better.
ReplyDeleteGood for you and walking, I cannot walk far at all with the RA, but I do what I can, Nice bunch of fabric!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your walking goal. I need to get back to the daily walks too. Between the back and knee issues, those kinda went out the window. You've got a fun list of projects to work on this week. I'm ready for some new projects too, but I'm trying so hard to stick to my finishing goals for another few months.
