WordGirl week 34 Item #2

Well, I'm slow on my blogging, but last week's 3F2E was pretty inspiring! I drew #2 - "Eat at least one salad this week." As you can see from my white board, I was successful. I made an effort to include more salads in my meals. It's so nice in the summertime when fresh veggies abound! (Plus a neighbor had made too much of the Thai peanut chicken salad and gave me a container of it . . . ) This was a really fun one. It probably helped that I spent Sunday and Monday of last week taking a road trip to Missouri to watch the eclipse with "Salad Girl," aka my sister Ann!

I set as my "One Thing" to finally unbox and set up my Juki, the sewing machine I bought in June. I got it out of the box, started reading the directions, and have the basics, but haven't yet actually sewn anything on it yet. I really, really need to get into my sewing room!

Week 8 Item #33 WordGirl

Okay, so this is a bit late (Wednesday), but I was not successful (yet) in doing this one. I haven't given up on it, but I am moving on.

#33 is "have a fix and repair session (glue broken stuff, repair damaged clothing, etc.) at least one day this week." I have a bin of stuff to be fixed, but that's more Louie's department. I'm not really careful . . . and though I can use superglue, I prefer to leave it to someone with patience and steady hands. I thought about repairing some clothing items, but my "One Thing" was more important to me!

I got my One Thing done!!! "Do Mystery Quilt February clue." I'm not going to add a picture here, because I don't feel like going up to my studio to snap it, but I spent about three hours (or more) on Saturday picking the fabrics, pressing, cutting, sewing, etc. They aren't great, but they're done!

I have a great extension on my work computer (in Chrome) called Momentum. Each day, it gives me a lovely picture, a greeting, a quotation, and asks me what my focus or goal is. This morning, I entered the goal. Kind of sad, but I made it! (It was a super busy day for me at work.) I think I need to clean the camera lens on my phone . . . but at least I didn't have a stroke!
