Do I even remember how to do this? Not so much...no!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

I thought I'd pop in here on a lark and see if you notice a small post from me. I've kept up on some of you my popping over to your blogs every so often but I mostly lurk rather than comment. SO even if you don't see me, I'm usually just wandering through.

SO what have I been doing? Well I have 15 new quilts made.....LOL! NOT! I have not sewn the first stitch since I quit blogging. I haven't had the smallest desire to even do it, still really don't....well I didn't...until I saw Libby's new Cheri mini and thought.... humm...those are nice little quilts to make.

Then I popped over to Cheri's site and up came all these new lovely quilts. She has really wandered away from the "everything covered in dark tea stain" hasn't she. I'm liking it a lot! I ordered 4 quilt patterns. Who knows. I might find something in my hands soon. I DO have all the fabrics.

Other than not sewing I've spent most of my time working on a newer project for a while......ME! It was time to take stock and do some upkeep. The neglect of my body was too far gone and I was paying for the sins. SO I took stock and reined in the free for all. I'm doing fantastic...

55 pounds down and 50 more to go! I exercise 90 minutes a day and I love it.

Hope you all are having the very best Easter Holiday. Don't get excited, I'm not blogging again. Just wanted to send a small update. I'll make up my mind in a few months maybe.

Sometimes you just has to stop and take care of the one who is most important. I think we tend to forget to do that. Happy Easter to you too!

Darlene said...

Nice to 'see' you, Judy. Yes, I've missed you however knowing that you're taking care of YOU is wonderful. I hope you'll pop in again.

Hi Judy, I'm delighted to hear that you have made number one in your life YOU! You've been missed but gosh I completely understand!! Hope you'll visit again real soon.

How wonderful it was to see your blog pop way up the list on my sidebar. I think of you often and have even highlighted the last email you sent to me after Christmas thinking, "I need to email Judy one of these days". We both know how that turned out!! How wonderful that you have lost the weight and are concentrating on yourself. Something we probably all need to do more of!

Hope mine was one of the blogs you were lurking on. Take care and "pop" in again anytime!

Happy to hear from you.. and So much you found some new Cheri patterns to play with.. and congrats on all the weight loss!! Hooray to you!!! :o)

Ginger Patches said...

I noticed! You rock girl...wow that is sooooo awesome 55 pounds is a huge accomplishment!! How are you doing it? I am on a mission to do the same, been walking about 45 minutes a day. I do find that when I get too into sewing I tend to put off the exercise. I took a 13 year break from sewing/quilting!!!

Carolyn aka Silkquilter said...

It's good to pop in once in awhile and let us know that you are still kicking and breathing. Thanks.

Elaine Adair said...

OMGosh - you'll have to stand twice in the same place to make a shadow! LOL - an old-timey comment. Congratulations and stay strong - I am envious of your fortitude!

Nice to see you again. Congrats on the weight loss and taking care of yourself. Sometimes we need to slow down a bit and soothe the sole.

Wonderful job on your weight loss journey...I am on the same path, and so pleased so far!

Evelyn aka Starfishy said...

Ooohhh, congratulations! We all have only so many hours in the day and it seems to me that you are putting your extra time to excellent use! That is a huge accomplishment! Sometimes when sewing for long stretches I will pop in a Pilates tape and just do the warm up - the gentle stretches. Love that! Cheers! Evelyn
