Focus – Week 17

May 2, 2018

It seems crazy that we are to May!

My accomplishments this week

Focus Photo –

It was a nice night (though a bit chilly once the sun went down) to enjoy some softball.  The girls won two games and tied the third.

Sewing –
  • I should pretty much just say bye-bye to the 52 week sewing challenges, since I haven’t done one for awhile.   I just don’t have the time right now, unfortunately.  The one and only thing I made last week was this top with my fabric design.

  • #makenine progress: Nothing this week.
  • Upcoming sewing I need to get done is to take in a prom dress and hem the 3 layers of skirt.  Super fun.  That was probably the reason why nothing got done last week.  It is hard to get the urge to go down and do alterations.
  • The girl is in need of summer shirts.  The boy probably is, too.  Guess I will be trying to come up with some of that this week in between alterations.
House cleaning –

Instead of going to a volleyball tournament, I stayed home and cleaned floors.  Some times you just gotta get stuff done.

Time with family –

Sunday was more of a family day.  We had a nice long brunch and also went to see Black Panther.  Now to go see Infinity Wars this weekend!

Health, exercising, making healthy meals –
  • Our exercise room was in a shambles, so no exercising.
  • I mostly stuck to my meal plan last week, though the ham finally got made this Monday.  Lots of running last weekend again.
  • Meal plan for this next week:
    • Monday – Ham and potatoes with gravy (yum, yum)
    • Tuesday – Leftovers from the ham
    • Wednesday – 20th Anniversary…not sure yet
    • Thursday – Something simple, lots of sports running.  Probably tacos.
    • Friday – Chicken curry
    • Saturday – Chicken fried steak (I am weak…I saw a video from the Food Network)
    • Sunday – Sockeye salmon with roasted garlic potatoes and salad
Creative Design

I think this was the only thing I drew last week.

Reading –

You guess it…nothin’!


We are counting down until school is done (and mostly school softball).  Only a little over a month and my kids will be home will me all day.  Jesus give me patience!
