Fabric Stats

This is a post I will update as I complete my count. So far the balance is:

38.375 yds solid knit 12/31/08
19.5 yds non-solid knit 12/2/08
17.375 yds seersucker 12/31/08
3.25 yds suede, fur, velvet 11/24/08
4 yds satin, linings 12/2/08
154.535 yds solid woven 12/31/08
47.895 yds floral woven 11/24/08
74.335 yds print woven 12/31/08
48.115 yds stripes/checks/plaids 12/31/08
33.625 yds Christmas 11/30/08
11.5 yds fleece 12/31/08

452.505 yds total 12/31/08



I'd like to have all of this done by the end of the year so I will be able to really keep track of my stash-busting. It's kind of fun, but tedious. I think I'll take another box to Beth's tonight. Or I will take my knit shirt muslin to sew. Even muslin counts as using stash, but it isn't as exciting because the stuff isn't wearable.

Today was better but still busy.

Exercise

Well, last night I tried to do the kickboxing video again. It's kind of fun. But, the kids weren't helping. I managed 10 minutes. It's better than nothing I guess. I feel it just a bit this morning. Actually, I'm hungrier than usual which means some aerobic activity happened.

Today is day 1 for the newest AFB.

At Beth's

I took some fabric to fold and got that done. The fabric looks so neat and tidy folded and takes up so much less room. I want to get it all done. I also took some patterns to organize. I finished putting the pattern info on my list and into google pics.

Moving Monday

Bailed on the Y today. blech. right now it just seems impossible to fit it in around Isaiah's schedule. Here are the stats from the last 2 workouts'

I only made it to Publix last night. I did get a few good deals though. The deals aren't fantastic, but I feel better just trying to save money.

Hairspray clearance
GM cereal 4.29/box BIGIF with a $1 cpn on 3 boxes. I got 4 boxes for $7.60 or $1.40 a box.
Publix wipes BIGIF baby club cpn
bottle of alcohol free baby club cpn

Baking day

Today is Day 10 for my AFB. Tomorrow is Day 1 for the new batch. I put banana in this one to make banana bread. It made 3 loaves. Yum! I hope that the kids like it. I hope to start another batch of sourdough tomorrow.

We had spaghetti for lunch. I like using the spelt pasta. It tastes just like regular pasta to me, but it has a lot more nutrients. We're working harder to eat more at home and less out. It's easy for some, I know, but very hard for us. I want to be a better steward of our money and resources.

Tonight I'm going to Walgreen's and CVS to see what's on sale. I'll pick up the freebies of course. I might also go to Publix and check out their sales.

Boy have I been slack

I've gotten many things done, but I haven't felt like posting. A little bit of a funk has settled on me I guess. I exercised a couple of times and bailed once. I am still working on the second blanket for Mrs. P.
