Truth:

“I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.”


― Mae West

I've said this a lot to myself in the past few weeks. When I'm tired and don't want to do what I'm supposed to do, when it would be easier to order a pizza rather than cook something healthy at home, walking on the treadmill instead of sitting on the couch... They aren't daily struggles but they do get me sometimes...but when I push thru and cook dinner at home, walk on the treadmill for 45 minutes simultaneously kicking the ball Gabby drops on it, my night goes better, I feel great, and I still get a couple hours of guilt free knitting in before I crash to sleep.
 
Happy Wednesday.

it's always harder to workout when the weather is still cool, I find! keep at it. I still exercise 5 days a week, and I'm convinced it's made me feel loads better.

Thanks Julie!
I am keeping at it...even if some days I struggle I just hop on and plug away...regardless of my surrounding issues...i.e; dogs tossing hazards onto the treadmill turning my walk into a supermario game...

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
