Things are Coming Together

Okay, things are coming together with my blog.  I finally figured out how to post links to some of my favorite webpages!  My next step is to figure out how to replace the words for those links with thumbnails.  I think that would really clean things up and make the whole page easier to follow.

Bittle Bear: ** HUGE GIVEAWAY **- Blog and Shop LAUNCH!: It's time that I OFFICIALLY launch both my new blog and also my recently created ETSY SHOP ! So, I figured that we ought to celebrate!!! I...

What an awesome find!!

Anyone ever heard of a craft store called "Beverly's"???  I hadn't either.  I don't know if it's a chain or what, but I went in there the other day (it's about 5 minutes from my house) because the sign on the store claimed they sold fabric.  I figured it was like a "Michael's" thing or something and I would go in and find those pre-folded/packaged fat quarters or something.  I couldn't have been more wrong!!!

I was amazed to find row after row after row of fabric at the back of the store!!  Including an entire row of batiks (my fav) and another row of Kona solids!!!  They even have Gutterman thread and quilting notions!!!  It was like Christmas for me!!!! 

I even found some Dr. Seuss Christmas fabric (Grinch) that I think I will make a Christmas Tree Skirt out of (if I can find a pattern that I like).  I will post a pic of the fabric later when I can get my camera to work!!!  

WTH??!!

Okay, so I joined a gym here near the house.  This week will make 3 weeks that I've been going.

Imagine my surprise when I got on the scale this morning, and it says that I weigh 3 pounds more than I did when I started going to the gym!!!!  WTH??!!

Now, I know what you are thinking, and NO, I did NOT expect to lose weight after going to the gym 7 times, but I certainly didn't expect to gain weight!!?!?!?!?  I haven't even been doing any weight-lifting type activities...my exercise has been limited to use of the elliptical machines and treadmills doing anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour between the two machines.

Makes a girl want to hang up her running shoes.  Know what I mean??
