Exercise

I went to the gym with Charlie Monday afternoon during gymnastics for the big kids. This is what I did. (rep x wt)

Seated Leg Curl 20 x 30

Squat Press 15 x 88

Lat Pull down (both grips) 15 x 50 (good job!)

Sit ups 5

Lateral Raise 15 x 15

Row 15 x 30

My heart really wasn't in it, but I did it anyway. Especially when restarting, it's more fun to have company. I. did well in the nursery. He usually does.

What's next

Do I want to change my blog? Can I mix recipes with sewing with home school? I don't really want more than one blog, but this one has turned into a sewing blog. Will it feel the same if I start talking about home-made remedies and such?

I want to try making this cream deodorant from Tipnut. http://tipnut.com/homemade-deodorant-instructions/

3 TBS shea butter
3 TBS baking soda
2 TBS corn starch
2 TBS cocoa butter
2 vitamin E oil gel caps (squeeze out the oil)

Mix and melt all but the vit E. Add E and any EO. Put in fridge to set. Rub a small amount under arm to use.

Why my posts are all catch up posts

I've just been busy. And lazy. A lot has been going on but I just didn't feel like writing anything. So here is all of it in a nutshell. Maybe.

1. I did a bad finish in the stash contest on PR. About 16 yards. I could have done more, but I kept getting side tracked. I made an ironing board cover, play napkins, a romper for I, a shirt for E/L, a skirt for me, a diaper changing pad, 4 shirred tops, 3 zippered pouches, and 4 puppet bags. And I managed some mending in there too. I like putting patches on holes in clothes.

2. We went to Birmingham and Fountain Inn to see family. I took the Janome (as usual) and got some done. L got a tea set for her birthday. It came with some tiny, cute paper napkins. I thought to make some napkins for the girls for their sets.

3. Most of our school books got ordered. The kids are pretty excited. We are also trying uniforms this year. The girls are very excited about that. Jacob, not so much. I need to get a picture for the yearbook.

4. Mimi isn't sewing anymore. Not sure about permanently, but definitely not right now. She gave me several patterns and a lot of fabric. I'm glad she thought of me, I just don't want to lose her too.

More later.
