Run Forest, Run

So, have you missed me?!? It’s been a little crazy around here. Lots going on. This past weekend, I traveled to Charleston, SC with my mom and some of her friends to do the Cooper River Bridge Run. We did it along with about 44,000 other people. It was pretty awesome. 6.2 miles. Need I say more.
Let’s see…. what else. I have put my sewing machine away. (I know… total shocker, right!)  With so much going on around here, I decided to focus on a couple of things at a time. I still have some hand applique to work on, so I’m not completely shutting down the sewing operation, but it has come to a major slow down. First focus… losing weight. I started after Thanksgiving on a diet/exercise plan and have lost 20 lbs., but I have stalled out for about the last month. I’ve regrouped and come up with a new plan with my trainer and it’s gonna get hardcore. (if I live past what he has planned, I might actually start to look like an after picture as opposed to the before) So… that is where most of my energy is going to be for awhile. Focus #2…. operation organization. I. have. got. to. clean. out. this. house. The amount of crap stuff in this house multiplies daily and it is driving me crazy. I don’t want to be on the show Hoarders, so it is going. Be it goodwill, yard sale or the dump, it is outta here!
I’ve missed blogging and sharing my crafty things, but life gets in the way sometimes. Once I get focus 1 and 2 under control, I have lots of ideas of things I want to make and do…..so stay tuned.

    Health and De-Cluttering both very great goals and will make it all that more fun when you get back to sewing. I need to tackle both of those myself…keep us posted!

    Good for you, Gina! I’m down here now but couldn’t get down in time for the race. I’m not allowed to take the day off before a break. 🙁 I”ll miss your craftiness but I”ll be reading when you come back! http://www.paperstarfish.prettyposies.com

    Good for you Gina!! My daughter ran the race too! Maybe I need to get on the Cooper River Bridge run bandwagon and try it next year if she’s still living in Charleston.
