I got may partner for the next flirty apron swap. I am so looking forward to this swap. This swap's theme is Valentine's Day and/or baking. I now have a reason to go out and buy new material, but I have to wait until Thursday when I get paid again. One goal/decision/resolution that I absolutely have to keep is no credit card use unless absolutely necessary. That means, I only go to stores when I have money bugeted and/or when I have to. So, no Joann's Fabric unless I can budget money for it. I am hoping that I can make something with maybe a yard of new fabric and use some of my stash. Now to pick out a pattern. the best part is my partner decided on letting me choose the style of apron so I get to be really creative if I wish. I can't wait, then it's on to quilts for my kids and my sister's soon to be new baby.
I entered a give away on citylifeeats.com for stevia. I wrote a blog about my love for stevia in my tea and am so happy to say that I won free stevia. For some reason, I had stopped using stevia in my tea and started to use honey. I really didn't like the switch so now I am back to stevia. I like honey, but only for certain things. I can't wait to try this new stevia.
I have gotten rid of dairy for my kids and now I need to completely get rid of it for me too! I am doing so much better, that is until tonight. I even had coffee which I drink with cream. That was a really bad decision, but as of right now, I am back to eating the way that I know I should be eating. I really need to work on losing weight. It really hit me tonight, just how much I need to lose weight. I am back on track as of right now! No more fun and games. It's not only important for how I look, but for how I feel and my health! I'm always fighting blood pressure issues and if I can't get my weight and my eating under control, I could be in some trouble! I don't have a ton to lose. If I lost even 15 pounds, it would be helpful, but in reality, I'd really like to lose more like 30 pounds. I guess for now, I'll focus on the 15, then I'll look to lose more.
I can't wait to start sewing and eating well!

We are planning on paying off the couple of credit cards we have with our tax return and then it will be the same- no cash no buy.
ReplyDeleteHow is it going being dairy free? I am supposed to stay away from dairy (lactose intolerant) BUT I have yet to find a replacement for cheese. That is the only dairy we eat.
I can't wait to see pictures of the quilts for the kids and new baby (your niece or nephew)and of the apron.
