Day 270 and Stashbusting

Woke up this morning with the same problem in the heel. I think I may have bruised it so had today off from the gym and it's closed tomorrow. So 15 minutes of squats, lunges and sit ups this morning and the same again tonight.

As it's the last day of the year my final stash report.

Fabric used this week 1 metre
Fabric used this year 39 1/2 metres.

I am gong to keep counting next year but will also record my purchases. Goal is to buy 10% less than I use. I had better get started sewing straight away as I ordered 9 1/2 yards as an end of year present to myself today.

I had hoped to have a top finished by today. Found the fabric I had purchased for the narrow border but couldn't find the final border fabric. Guess what I will be doing this weekend.

Day 269

I woke up this morning and the minute I put my right heel down I knew I was n trouble. Shooting pain up the leg. It has happened before but usually comes good quite quickly. I was not so lucky this morning though. So warm up was on the dreaded bike. I then did 30 minutes of weights. I needed to be selective in what I did so I wasn't putting pressure on my heel. Finally came good about 10:30am. One day I must make the time to see a doctor about it.

This afternoon when I got home I discovered the pink frangapani had finally started to bloom. The white one has been out for a coupe of weeks already. Finally starting to feel like summer.

Day 268

Back at work today. I was going to hit the gym this morning but the lure of the finale of Survivor meant I didn't get to bed till very late. So gym this afternoon to again do 3.14kms in 35 minutes. I did burn more calories however as I upped the hills.

Day 267

I did the maths today and realised I had exercised for 267 days straight. Yeah me. Less than a 100 days to go to reach my goal.

A quick 35 minute workout on the treadmill this morning to travel 3.14kms in 35 minutes.

Design Wall Monday

Not a lot happening on the sewing front this week. I did finish one block from the Xmas quilt. Takes me to 7 of 36. Hopefully will not take me another 29 weeks to get it done.

Here's a photo of Cleo after she had finished her crab last night. She could barely move but was one contented cat.

Ally does not usually sat still long enough for a photo but I managed to snap this one earlier today.

Exercise is still happening. The last couple of weeks it has been out of the gym. This morning I hit the treadmill for 35 minutes and managed 3.11 kms.

Using the stash and Cleo

Stash report for this week stays exactly the same. Work and partying were both extreme so nothing done.

Fabric used to date 38 1/2 metres.


I have big plans for the last week of the year however and really hope to get to 50 metres. It involves using most of this bundle-

Even Cleo is tired and couldn't be bothered getting out of her carrier last night.

She will however move quickly when she works out there is crab for dinner tonight!

A late design wall Monday and some Xmas inspiration

Sewing very light on the ground this last week - not even one block completed.

we did however have fun at work with the Xmas decorations this year. Our theme was frosty.
 
Mine was very conservative.

Snowmen were popular.

 

No space was sacred.

This area had a lovely Xmas tree

and even a fireplace!
