My accomplishments this week
Focus Photo –
April blizzard…16+ inches of snow in our town. Give or take an inch.
Sewing –
- My 52 week sewing challenge for the week was something woven, and I got a pretty fun skirt done. It is part of a strike off outfit due at the end of the month, so no real pictures of it, yet. Here is a sneak peek. It is pretty fun!
- #makenine progress:
Nothing this past week.
- Strike off sewing – I got one outfit done and just need to do the top to match the skirt above. I have until around the 21st to get the pictures in, so I have most of this week. After the snowstorm, it looks like pictures will be inside.
Sneak peek. 🙂
House cleaning –
Nothing this past week, other than getting the dining room sorted out. This next week I will try to tackle the living room.
When I wake up the morning, before I start work, I’ve been trying to get the kitchen cleaned up, a load of laundry started and our bed made. I figure then…at least I have accomplished something!
Time with family –
We went and saw the movie, The Miracle Season. If you go watch that, bring a box of Kleenex. It was good….but quite emotional, especially as a parent.
Health, exercising, making healthy meals –
- Meals went better this week, and I made most of the meals on my plan.
- This next week’s plan is mainly going along with what I need to get out of the fridge:
- Monday – Leftovers
- Tuesday – Balsamic chicken, au gratin potatoes, asparagus & warmed up bread and dipping oil with a bottle of Carlisle Zinfandel. Not low fat.
- Wednesday – Sauteed Cabbage and Kielbasa, with quinoa (need to use up some stuff)
- Thursday – Meatloaf, carrots, salad
- Friday – Volleyball Tournament – eating out
- Saturday – Volleyball Tournament – eating out
- Sunday – Didn’t get that ham made last week, so maybe baked ham, mashed potatoes, salad
Creative Design –
Most of my creative juices this week were spent trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my strike-offs. I was drawing different clothing designs, so nothing surface-design related last week.
This next week and weekend will be busy. I need to get the strike-off top done, and then I think I am mostly free for a little bit. Maybe I can start drafting my little jacket.
