I worked a couple of days on Paradigm Lost. I have decided that I want it finished by the end of the year so I need to spend more than one day a week stitching on it. I am happy to report that I finished page 6 and am now officially halfway there. Does that count as a small Happy Dance - or half a dance anyway?
My squares are done for the next Fair and Square round. I have a few things to pick up to put in the package and then it will be ready to ship.
I am busily working away on the gift for Carolien that she won during my Blogaversary contest.
Neither her piece or my Fair Square are available for viewing yet until they are shipped and received by their owners.
On the personal front, I have lost 1.5 lbs. this week. I am slowly trying to slim down. I have some back problems and carrying around an extra 65 lbs. does not help. I have now lost 29.5 lbs. since December 6th. Dani and I are trying to be buddy and cheering section for each other as we travel this path. The biggest lesson for me has been that I am the only one responsible for the food that I put in my mouth. I also recognize that this needs to be a life style change and not a diet in order for this change to be permanent. I have not felt comfortable sharing this for fear of failure but I think I am now more confident of my ability to do this successfully. So, on to the next pound!

And congratulations on losing some weight! I've been watching what I eat for the past 3 weeks, but I can't see any improvment (we don't own a scale).

HURRAY KATHY!!! You go girl...Dani is inpsiring to me and now you are inspiring to me. I once lost about 40 lbs with WW 15 years ago...now I'm middle age and need to lose it again...I went to the market today and stocked up the house with LOW point things...here's to all us being healthier and living they way we should!
PL is looking great, and I love Little Book of Stitches so much that I ordered the full kit from Stitches and Spice yesterday, with some other things of course. Well done on the weight loss, I too need to lose some weight and have been walking with some friends two nights a week.
Love your lilltle book of stitches! I have it printed off ready to do at some point. The hard part i find is coosing a colour as there are so many beauties out there. Well done on your terrific weight loss so far. I am up to 10 but still need to lose an extra 30! xx
All of your stitching is so lovely! Congrats on the weight loss! I'm working on mine through WW right now, myself and it's a hard thing to change years and years worth of eating habits.
Wow! All your stitching is so beautiful!
Congrats on the weight loss. I know that can be soooooo very difficult.
Good heavens you've been busy. And not just stitching! 29.5 pounds--- woo hoo! You go GF!!!!!
The book pages are lovely! I can't wait for you to get it finished so I can see!
Well done on your weight loss!
