Weigh-In Wednesday

Well, no change this week. Which is OK, because I've been very cranky over family issues the past few days, and have been making poor food choices.

Lots of knitting is getting done, but progress photos wouldn't show much change on that big ol' shawl.

Wednesday Weigh-In

One pound lost this week. Slow and steady wins the race, right?!

Eh, can't think of a title!

This is what I have to put up with when I sit down to knit:

She has it rough, doesn't she?!

I love. love. love. that I was able to get this picture.....
No, this little guy isn't dead, I think he was just trying to cool off:


Here is the start of one of the side panels of the shawl. I'm on repeat 3 (out of 12):

Wednesday weigh-in

Well, all the splurging I did last weekend caught up with me :(
I gained one pound, which isn't too bad, since I had actually gained FOUR pounds over the weekend, but was able to lose three of them right away. I have no regrets...the food was great! We went to Red Lobster, plus we went to the local ice cream parlor so I could get a scoop of chocolate peanut butter swirl (my favorite!)

Less than 20 rows to go to finish the back portion of the shawl!

Shawl update

Almost done with the back triangle of the shawl!


Here are my cupping supplies. I am having so much fun learning this technique; my clients are happy to let me practice on them during their treatments! I have only had one person so far say they didn't like the cups, everyone else is raving about them.

L to R: facial cups, body cups, reflexology cups with magnets

This & That

I have to post that I lost another two pounds! Yippee! I decided that my reward for reaching my first 10% goal will be another pair of Cloggens. It took a week for the ones I ordered to arrive, but oh. my. gosh. are they comfortable!!!!

I am back to working on the shawl, and I promise to post a picture soon. My fingers are itching to start another project, but I really want to focus on this shawl for as long as I can.

And FYI, I took the word verification off my comments, because I hear it's been a real pain in the arse lately.

Wednesday Weigh-In

Went up a little (1/2 pound), but I'm feeling great!

No knitting news to report, I've been taking a little break and concentrating on a new massage technique I'm learning via home-study....Massage Cupping. I am so excited about integrating this into my practice!

Ahhhh, finished!

The blanket is done!


I finished last night at 10:30 and just blocked it. I still don't know who's getting it, but I love the way it turned out!


Here's Lexie getting a drink of water out of Sir B's glass:



Yummy!!

Shoes!

Are these not the cutest shoes ever?!



They are "Cloggens", and I had to order a pair as soon as I saw them (yesterday)! I don't normally spend $50 on shoes, but, well....... too cute!!

I am sooooo close to finishing the baby blanket, hopefully today or tomorrow, and I'll post a pic then. All I have left is the little side flaps to cover the steeked crapness edges. Then it's back to the Cancun shawl.
