The Last Day of the Year!

Oh boy! It's here and I'm going to make it count. I have several things that I am looking forward to. God, Good Health, Love, Laughter, and most of all a Companion to share he rest of my life with. Twenty fifteen will be here tomorrow. I am so blessed! I am looking forward to my growth by learning from my past and letting go. God Speed! Letting Go is what I have to do!

Teaching . . .

I have to step up my game and be better prepared. Karen asked me to show her how I make the box pouch. I wasn't sure of myself; although I did it. I have to make sure I get my measurements down pact. I have to be able to communicate the desired outcome if you use a certain given measurement. I'm going to make several box pouched and write dow what I did to get each outcome.

Take time to breathe . . .

Today is a day to take time to breathe. I am finishing my laundry and making sure that I put away my clothes as I wash them. I a also hanging up my clothes. I have to start de-cluttering my life and begin a new journey. Soon I will be ending my blogs. I am going to start my craft business. I am going to continue to quilt but I am going to start making items that I want to give away or sell. It's time to move on. I have to throw procrastination out the door.

Celebration! 122814

Yesterday was Johanna's birthday. Her mom and dad had a birthday brunch for her. I enjoyed spending time with my son's future in-laws. I've always enjoyed Jo's mom and dad. They are very down to earth and health conscious people.

Slowed Down . . . 122414 - 122714

I haven't added anything to this blog since December 23rd. I had a good Christmas; spent it with some of my family. Penn bought me the sewing machine today. It was so good to see him; once again I'm not releasing that part of my life. Shame on me. How much longer am I going to keep this up. I will not move forward until I let go.

Wasting Time! 122214-122314

Once again I lost my gumption and didn't make the gifts I was going to make.

Time Waits for No One!

I'm so thankful for all that happens in my life. I have a lot that I want to do before Christmas and I have to stop procrastinating and get it done. Time is not waiting and I know that, but I am always waiting for the right time. The right time is now!

Why?

I was a little irritated today during the food pantry. It was so busy and too much going on. I thank God for getting us through the day. There were close to one hundred people serviced from 10:00 to 2:30. I was glad when it was over. I was able to get the church programs printed. Hallelujah!

Spending Again! 121914

I spent money again. I get so crazy around this time of year. I love Christmas and giving to others. I don't have a lot but I love thinking about others.

Busy Time 121814

I finished my bag for my swap partner. I was so glad to give it to her. I have to add a picture to this blog entry.

Crunch Time!

I'm going to be up all night finishing this tote bag!

Full Speed Ahead!

I started working on a tote bag to give to Margaret Hayter. I didn't like the tooley. I have a few more echoes to quilt and then I'll sew the bag together. I have to work on my lining and my handles. It will be completed before Thursday. I have to mail my cards tomorrow. It's getting close to that time. I want them to arrive on time. Procrastination is a waste of time. I feel so good I went to Johanna's kickboxing class tonight.

Slow Down!

I'm always rushing to the finish line. I made the tool holder and I don't like how it turned out. I have to buy some mat board, but I'm still not happy with the fabric I chose.

Finishing touches . . .

I took the small stand that I had and some candles for the finishing touches. I also added more words to her wall. the last two things I have to get for her are the commands and LED candles. She has such a nice place and I pray that it stays that way. Only time will show how the people in the area take care of their new place.

Yesterday! 121314

Hey, yesterday was 12-13-14. That was the date, interesting! I had a full day of helping and spending money at church. I bought my mom a small christmas tree for her new place. She hasn't had one in a long time. I think it brightened her day.

Forgetful!

I've been busy this week so I haven't blogged. The last time was on Monday, so I've missed three days.

Get Back on Track!

I've procrastinated for weeks now. I have several things to do and have put them off long enough. I have love boxes to make and a gift for my elfster. I haven't done any of this yet. I have to collect items for the boxes. I want to make something to go in the box.

Preparation!

What ever comes my way I have to look at it as a life lesson; know matter what happens I have enjoyed the ride.

Rainy Day!

It's raining again today. I'm so lethargic. I want to just lay down all day.

Beautiful Wedding! 12514

I attended Ashley's wedding on Friday, Dec. 5th. It was in a quaint hotel in a quaint town. Her dress was beautiful. She had a beautiful Harmony. I am so glad I was invited. 

Not Tonight!

I was a little disappointed because the seniors cancelled their quilting session. I really look forward to spending time with them on Thursdays. at least every other Thursday. I guess I should be happy but I still didn't do anything else with my time. I watched Project Runway and Threads. I'm so turned around that I took Friday's medicine. I hope I'll be alright. I have to slow down. Thinking and doing too much. 

Tried Again!

Last Wednesday I went to Jo's yoga/Pilates class. It was a little intimidating and hard to keep up, but I felt good after the class. I made an attempt to start again. So this week. I tried it again. This time it was a Cardio class, and BOY did I sweat. Until next week. I won't give up this time.

Packaged Delivered 12214

I mailed off my Instagram mini swap quilt on Friday, and I was so pleased to see that Debbie received and posted it yesterday. 

It's that Time! 12114

The first of the month is a busy day for me and my mom. It's time to take care of her monthly bills. My sister Deborah takes care of most of them and I just help with some of the online payments.
