Weight Watchers

I forgot to post and let you know of my most recent weigh-in. I have changed meetings to a Thursday morning as I am clerking for a former colleague (from when I was a Leader). I had not been weighed for just over three weeks and had lost 3.5 lbs - including two days off over Christmas! It took me to just over my 2.5 stone mark. I am so chuffed and it has made me even more determined to get to goal. The thought of Spring being around the corner is also keeping me going, as I must admit that the last few weeks have been hard, what with the horrible weather.

Swarovski Heart Necklace - Daisy Beaders

This was the necklace that I made at this month's 'Daisy Beaders' club. It was lovely to make, even if it was Right-Angle Weave. Those of you who know me, know that I hate R-A-W with all of my heart! The chain for it was simple and cute, and, more importantly, fairly quick to make up. I am now proudly wearing it, to test its strength, and then it will be going in my Folksy shop.

More Cards...

I am back into card-making again for a while. Some I am more happy with than others, but it is nice to be back in the card frame of mind.

Blogiversary

Today is my second blogiversary! I am really chuffed because it means that I have been making things consistently for that time.

So, raise a glass of the fizzy stuff and here's to another year!

More 'Thanks' Cards, With A Valentine...

The valentine's day one is an idea that I had today. It is a work in progress but I am aiming to adapt it tomorrow.

Another Stripy 'Cordoba' Bracelet

This time I used 3mm cube beads instead of 4mm so the bracelet has turned out narrower. The colours are hard to see (blooming winter light) but they are kind of 'egyptian' - turquoise, gold, bronze etc. I am really pleased with how it has turned out and it will be going in my Folksy shop asap.

'Thank You' Card

This is one of the cards that I am making for Max to send to people who sent him a Christmas present. I need to make 4 more and photograph the other one I have already made. Then, I have to get him to actually WRITE them! They should get them in July then...

Home Weigh-in

I might have mentioned that I weighed in on my home scales before Christmas, so as to get a comparison weight afterwards. I had gained 2 pounds over the two day festive period, which I was, if not happy about, happy to accept. I definitely ate well on those two days - and by 'well' I mean badly! It was lovely to have a two-day break and I was fairly confident that I could get back on track.

I weighed myself this morning, as I am changing my meeting to Thursday mornings from this coming week, and I didn't want my loss/gain to be a surprise. I had lost the two pounds plus another one, which is fantastic news!!!

Gold and Bronze Bracelet

This has been adapted from the 'Cordoba' bracelet from Spellbound Beads. It looks fabulous on and has gone into my Folksy shop.

I really love the look of it on the wrist and have decided to give Folksy another go. Last year things got a little dark for me and I stopped believing in myself. This year is going to be more productive and happy, I hope.

Happy New Year to you all x
