I finished another pumpkin hat up the other day...a friend from spin class ~ who had ordered one for a baby boy ~ found out that the baby's brother wanted one too...so I made one for him too!
I also began (and soon after *finished*) a winter hat for Madelyn. It is made from the softest, most beautifully colored yarn! I loved watching how it came along round by round!
Madelyn loves it and I am thankful it will keep her head and ears warm over the blustery-cold winter months ahead...
Yesterday afternoon, after schooling and lunch were finished, an old friend from high school came by with a fun fall-building-kit for us all to do! It was similar to gingerbread house making but with chocolate cookies instead! These photos aren't in the right order (Blogger's photo upload thing-a-ma-jig has not been cooperative the past few months...) but they do capture the fun of the day!
A fall *tree* with leaves all around!....
Finished, after two hours of extensive building and decorating! Here's a view of the one side...
And the other side (with the builder-extraordinares posing with their creation!)...my friend Allison, Jaxson, Xavier and Madelyn in the back...
Good friends are such a blessing, aren't they? :)
Weightloss update:
I started spinning, now, five times a week. It feels great! I have lost a total of 43 lbs. so far. It seems to be slowing down a bit (the weight loss) but I am healthy....truly...so, so much healthier than I have been in a long time. I expected to hit a plateau or at least, slowing of the weight loss, anyway so I am just going to continue doing what I am doing. :o) It will come off in time.
Thanks for dropping by! I hope you all enjoy your weekend ahead!
Warmly,
Katy
Beautiful! What big smiles!
ReplyDeleteOh, I must make some hats, some mittens, oh, the knitting I should do!
ReplyDeleteGood to see what you've been doing.
Congrats on the weight loss.
Blessings,
Laura
Looks like fun with the cookie building! Glad Allison can come enjoy your kids! :)
ReplyDeleteMad's hat is cute... nice yarn!
I am ROASTING today... HEAT WAVE, I tell ya! ick!
I've been having a problem with uploading pictures in the right order too, but I thought it was just me. Did you know you can click on a picture and drag it to where you want it? That's what I do, just upload the pics, then click and drag to be in the correct order and add captions, or whatever.
ReplyDeleteWow! 43 lbs is a great weight loss. You should be proud of your accomplishment. Keep up the good work. As always, I enjoy your postings. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the weight loss. You probably aren't eating enough to go with the increased activity. Crazy as it sounds eat a little more and you will lose more. When you increase activity without calories your body thinks it is starving and tries to hang onto fat. I had the same thing happen when I went through my big weight loss.
ReplyDeleteGreat hats BTW.
that pumpkin hat is the cutest! my daughter had a strawberry touque when she was a baby and I love it - your weight loss and commitment is inspiring! I tried spinning once and just about lost my lunch - it's no joke. xo
