My latest sewing effort. It's a little dorothy drawstring bag. it was such a delight to sew, which might sound a bit silly but I just loved sewing it. I think one of these with some little makeup or shower bits would make a super christmas present. But this one is for me!
It's a nicer sage green than the picture shows and the red fabric lines the pockets and the bag. I am so loving sewing again and I have so many things I want to do.
And now something else that I am doing....
Trying to lose weight has been a battle for me for the last few years, my latest read is this...
I have had this book for some time but never got round to reading it. I had a bit of set back the beginning of the year with the wrong thyroxin dose, but it is all stabilised now and I am back to Slimming World. I have also decided to walk each day. I have been having acupuncture for my hip bursitis these last 4 weeks and the relief it has given me is amazing. So I feel I can now walk where as 5 weeks ago I could hardly walk from the kitchen to the lounge. It will mean less stitching and sewing time, but reading this book has brought home to me how being exessively over weight is deadly!
I am happy to follow the SW food plan and I know from experience it works but I need to alter my every day habits. It is not going to be easy but once I get into a more healthy exercise day I know it will come naturely. I gave up biscuits for Lent and I never ever think of them now. It seems that anything you do for 7 weeks becomes easier!
So I am giving it a go!
Hope you are happily doing what ever you like to do.
