Getting Back on Track

Getting Back on Track...

I need to lose a little weight and try to be fitter and eat healthy. So, this week I went back to eating fruits for breakfast (breakfast for me, is when I get hungry around 10ish), then veggies for lunch and a nice meal for supper. I also use portions so I don't over eat. Monday and Tuesday went well, but after that I was getting hungry or it could be boredom eating. But I am still working at it. I do have the "Gym" up, now that Bob's computer is in the store. But I still haven't had time to get a good workout. I am putting over 9-10 hours in the shop Mon-Sat then 6-5 hours on Sundays. So when I am home it is cleaning or cooking and getting things ready for the next day. I have walked home from work a couple of times.

STITCHING

Finished "File This" by Calico Crossroads

Love her designs, they stitch up so quick. Started and finished "Clean Your Ears"
Also worked on my UFO, WIP, BAP, Challenge project. Yes, all of that wrapped up into one project.

This is what she looked like before I started stitching on her again.This is what she looks like today.A close up. I am using the recommend 28 count material and the beads the patterns says to use.

But as you can see the beads are going to look mashed together.

Can you see where there are 6 beads together. WATER WONDERS - POOLS & SPAS

We opened the shop May 1, 2010. Had several people stop in to see what was in here and a few other people looking for the pet store, by us. Monday that changed, we actually had our first customer! This week we had several sales.

May 21-23 is our Grand Opening, so I had also been working on that. I contacted all the local TV stations to put a free ad in their Community listings. So far WSBT and WSJV has it listed. Mailed fliers to all our local customers and made fliers to hand out next week. We also ran an ad in Saturday's Plymouth paper and another ad next Saturday. Been working on the wed site too and had a few emails from that. I really miss working outside.
