Hi, all!
Monday again, and the start of another busy week! This one's especially busy, because Lilli will be starting kindergarten. A whole different schedule this week, then we start a new "normal" as Emmy and I will be alone together again! And in between all the babysitting this week, I've got plenty to do. But first, let's see how I did on last week's list...
1. Make a ministry quilt for a little boy.
My friend Piper is working on the kit I put together using Spiderman material.
2. Applique the stars to the blue field of the flag quilt.
I didn't get to this one.... :-(
3. Create a plan of what to make for the craft show.
Done! And I feel a lot better about it now - I've got plenty of time to make everything I want to take, I think!
4. Make at least five items for the show.
Done, big time! I made ten crayon roll-ups, seven key fobs, six lanyards, and a quilt top last week!
5. Quilt at least five quilts for Rogersville.
Done! Including the three I took to church last Sunday, I've quilted nine quilts in eight days. Here's a few of them...
6. Finish the guest room.
I did some work on this but when my niece's plans changed, I lost interest...
7. Take care of any other ministry needs that arise.
Done! We had a request for a 3-year old girl just diagnosed with cancer, and this quilt will work perfectly!
And here's what my week looks like this week - - - Monday (today) I had both girls for the day. We had a ball, and I managed to quilt a Rogersville quilt, finish three crayon roll-ups, and make a quilt back, too. Tomorrow I'll be taking Lilli to a movie while her little sister has some doctors' appointments - our last fling before school starts! Wednesday I'll be babysitting Emmy for a couple of hours in the morning while my daughter and son-in-law go to the beginning of the first day of kindergarten with Lilli. Thursday is mine, and then Friday, I have Emmy for at least part of the day. In between all of that, here's what I'd like to get done....
1. Keep quilting one quilt a day for Rogersville.
2. Applique the stars to the flag field.
3. Make nine mug rugs for the craft show.
4. Quilt a baby quilt for the craft show.
5. Quilt a ministry quilt for a woman just diagnosed with a brain tumor.
6. Keep up with any other ministry needs that come up.
I think that's enough for this week - and maybe I can get to all of this before next Monday! Oh and if anyone's interested, the diet is going well - I've lost four pounds since last Monday and I find that I'm making better food choices on the non-fasting days! Woohoo!! And those fasting days aren't so bad - not much worse than a day when I get too busy to eat. Let's hope it continues....
So now the question is - - - what are you working on this week?
Hugs!

Wow! You are making me tired. I made a list myself today but it isn't that impressive. Currently I am working on finishing my Fun and Done. I don't want another WIP. So, hopefully, it will be done this week.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow you are a busy woman! Good luck getting everything ready for the show. I'm sure it will go marvelously! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all your little goodies for your sale. And I think you have a doable list.
ReplyDeleteI have been doing the 5:2 since the middle of May and have lost 17lbs so far. You're right, the fasting gets easier as you go on and now the fasting is just a way of life for me. I found this website really good for tasty recipes...http://www.lavenderandlovage.com Type in 5:2 diet and it will bring up all sorts of yummy things. The smokey tomato soup is really yum.
ReplyDeleteI have also moved to eating more raw foods and that is really helping with keeping me full. Good luck!
