Finally, project done. This month got away from me and how! Three trips to the emergency room with the mil and lots of people coming and going....I had no idea when I signed up that life would totally get in the way of my fun!
I made a little simple something that is practical....especially since the eco-nazi bag police have invaded out little county.
Since one of my challenge fabric was the pink paper dolls, I used them them as inspiration and pieced my handles.
Go and take a peak and some of the other challengers!!

On the Sewing Horizon.............
I shouldn't have.....nope. I need another period pattern like another hole in my head but it is just soooo scrummy!
http://www.lafnmoon.com/ has some awesome patterns. I have made a few and Joann, the owner, is fab is you have any questions.
Her latest patterns................................. yummmmmmmmm
I actually have a regency dress and corset. They fit well and I am happy to say that the corset will soon be too big (yay me) and I have made this particular corset with a group of ladies as we pattern tested it....easy peasy...even if I did put the straps on the wrong way....lol
I can't wait...well, I guess I can wait since I have another one of her patterns and the fabric is all washed and pressed and ready to go...all 8 yards of it!
I just finished the corset and the undies for the above dress. It's a sickness, I know. LOL I do not wish to be cured.
I also plan to make myself a dress for this summer and a linen shirt.....crinkly,wrinkly linen...ahhhhhhhh
What is your current sewing obsession?

Steppin Up
With a little peer pressure and a lot of need/want, and I am getting on the wellness bandwagon. I wouldn't call it fitness because my end goal is just being a more aware and healthy me, which may not be "fit" (skinny and ab defined) in most social ideas. I'm okay with that.
Slim is not something I ever want to be...Hot? well, yeah but at my age, that term mostly refers to personal heatwaves. lol
I treated myself to a little motivator:
I did a bit of research and looked at my old, large, square pedometer and decided on the burgundy colored Fitbit One®. It has a flower that grows when you're active.....scientific choice, I know, but that is what sold me. LOL Also the size....smaller than a chapstick and about as thick as three keys. Even in it's case, it fits in a bra or waistband almost unnoticed and unfelt. It weighs nothing...a few grams.
It syncs with my phone and my computer and I can set it to remind me to get my behind a movin'.
Screen shot...my best step day!
I have a March 30, 2014 start day and I have been pretty darn good so far.
What little tools do you have to keep you motivated? Not just fitness, but with anything in your life....sewing; crafting, long or short term projects, dinner....
Or are you just naturally self motivated and once you make up your mind, that's it, end of story?
I am a little of both, well, I do like my gadgets and a deadline doesn't hurt neither...what can I say.
Off to add steps to my day......
For a more in-depth review...check out this blog post...http://www.tech4mommies.com/2013/02/motivation-thy-name-is-fitbit/
