I am very aware I have gone somewhat AWOL. Things have been a little wild here (not in a good way) the last couple weeks. I am sure I will do a post once I feel on firmer ground. The upshot is that no sewing has gone on. But here are my goals for the month:
May goals:
Sewing-
- Finish ribbon chevron top – border. Back? no.. sigh…
- Complete Ispy tops and backs for nephews. (finish tumbler quilt – back, quilt, bind; make second top) Finished one completely, did not start the other. Need to get cracking on that
- Bento Box back (no ideas on this) Nope, and still don’t know what to do with it. Any ideas?
- finish bloom bloom pow.
(top,back, quilt and bind) Finished the top. Started the back. - Finish cleaning and reorganizing sewing room It’s such a mess…
- May mystery border Had to notify them this will be late. It is a pretty block though.
- Pick off a few things for the city craft pinterest challenge No.

Cleaning-
- Get the baby’s swingset installed!!! This plays a small part in the drama. We may be tackling it next weekend or may just hire someone depending on how various things play out…
- Closet OH! I did start on this. I can actually see my floor now, and put away my winter clothes, but didn’t touch anything otherwise.
- Hang photos Same as it ever was….
- Weight loss Well, Once I got home from the beach I started on My Fitness Pal, which is what my husband has been using to lose 30 pounds the last 5 months. I am mad watching him shrink away and nothing for me. It’s like that one commercial. So I joined and have been counting calories and tracking food and so far have lost 2 pounds (in less than a week). I hope to stick with it and continue to see progress.
- Baby’s birthday party planning This has been such a nightmare. But it seems to be happening Sunday.
- I have a lot of dr appts to make. I was actually going to do this today. And I really need to. We have 90 days to get these appointments in. (There’s a spoiler for you)

Here is the thing with going to the beach. I watch very little tv, I do almost no cleaning, so that leaves tons of time for sitting on the deck, listening to the water and birds (and construction lately) and read:
