Another day, another brain-frying thinking session. Need to get this month over, so time to look back and see how my goals came out:
Getting up and hour early and walking for an hour on the treadmill: boy, did I set myself up for failure on that one! vbg I did manage to do this for 3 weeks, 5 days a week, but boy, is it boring! And then I had a week of things that came up and that goal fell by the wayside. Even had a chocolate binge last week. Lost and gained 2 pounds = stayed the same! Time to rethink that goal.
Fabric buying: Bought the background and border pastels for the two baby quilts -- my stash is pretty much depleted of pastels. Backgrounds are okay, but I also bought some half yard pieces for the bright stars -- probably could have found those in the stash(well, did find a couple in there). Bought baby flannel for the backings -- my stash does not have enough baby flannel to even piece one backing. Last week I bought 4 one yard pieces of background WOW's and need to start buying some off-white, tan backgrounds. Also bought a FQ of the Pledge of Allegiance written all over it -- big splurge! Buying backgrounds is really boring -- especially when you're in a quilt store that has gorgeous fabric overload!
UFO's: Yay -- finished two ufo's, the Ice Crystal mystery quilt and the little sunflower placemat. Used all stash fabrics and battings to finish both of these.

always hard to stick with exercise goals..but great progress on ufos..
Hang in there!!! I love the baby quilt you showed. What a nice pattern!
I hear you about the excersie goal. I've been going to the gym for the last while. My goal was much more modest -- 1/2 hour of biking at the gym 3 mornings a week -- and I have really had to "push" myself to get there somedays... Just know that every little bit counts, and rethinking your goal is an important part of being realistic.
