TweAkinG, ProJecTs DoNe. DiNNeR.and I'Ve ReAcheD GoAL..

Good Afternoon my fellow friends in blogland!!! I hope your thursday is off to a great start..mine is..I reached goal!!! well the first goal that I set out to make any ways..now I want to lose 5 more and call it quits..I am down 82 pounds and I feel mahvelous Dahling!!!...Ihaven't weighe this since like the year 2000...and it is just feels so good..I have a confidence I didn't know I lost..but man it feels so good to be out walking and gettig dressed up and be able to work in my yard with ease and not be heavy any longer..such a huge weight has been lifted off of me..literally..I don't hurt anymore..I just feel like I have been reborn..only better..and better dressed too...:>)if I can do this..anyone can..you just have to wrap your mind around it..and just do it..look at our little Carmen of primcats..she is loving exercise and she feels great...and Miss Cindy of Cynthia Lynn is losing and feeling great too..its all about eating healthy and eating in moderation..you Can have anything you want.. just in moderation..sweets too..I am a huge sweets fan..always will be..but tell me I can't have it..and you can bet your sweet A$$ I will want it and will have alot of it..but I know I can eat it...I just choose not too..or only have a taste..just to satisfy the sweet craving..I want to work smart not harder then I have too..and I have worked pretty stinking hard to get to this point..and was it worth it? you bet it was/is..hubby is even eating healthier then he used too..so hopefully he will lose a bit more this year..I don't want diabetes.. or high blood pressure...and the healthier I am hopefully I will give my kidneys a fighting chance as well..it can't hurt...

Okay off my soap box now..I found that neat idea above on pinterest..I love that is just a soda bottle dipped in paint..what a neat piece of art..

remember these hair bands...

well I made these on wednesday night..I have more to do..but they are great little hair bands...and even cute bracelets too.. might be wearing one of those for church on sunday..I have more yarn in different colors..so will be making a lot more of these..

remember my hoodie?

I thought I would model it for you so you can see how it looks on a person..super warm too...

I am set for anything in this nice warmer hoodie...I have more colors I will be making this in..so if anyone is interested..let me know..great gifts too..

okay remember the upper curtains..I told you I wasn't happy with them..there just seemed to big of a seperation between the lower ones..and I didn't like it..

so I put these back up..these were the original ones that I purchased for this window..nice and they let in a bit more light..which I love in my kitchen..

these were the ones that were in the kitchen..just too dark..but I love the primness of these..so I put them on an old window frame..Hubby is going to hang this in the upstairs hallway by the bathroom this weekend..and then I will gussy it up..

I put my little Valentine can that Sheila gave me at our recent swap..it looks so good in my shabby chic bedroom...

lit up for better viewing..this is our amoire in our bedroom turned quilt keeper/dvd/vhs storage on the bottom..I have turned this into a cute display of treasures I have gotten from Blog friends, wins etc..

Yesterday after our walk..I played in the yard..I moved the picnic table out from the house and put my blooming jonquills and big grape hyacyinth out on it with a TS plate that I picked up sometime ago..

they do make me smile and when I am sitting on the couch I can peek out that window and see these pretty flowers in bloom..I do love spring and seeing all the flowers peeking up out of the dirt..its like christmas all over again and getting surprises you totally forgot about..I did a bit of weed burning in the yard.so now the yard is weed free and looking good..we are getting our rains back they say starting tomorrow..we shall see..will be getting Tucker out for his walk again today..oh how I appreciate our walks now and love seeing the beauty that surrounds me..and knowing that I am doing something for me..

okay I am tweaking yet again..I moved the wheelbarrow to the front porch and brought out my little picket fence box that I purchased at Joanns a couple of years ago..Sunny is my lovely assistant..

I was up in the garage looking for more spring stuff and found my cute wool felt eggs..I don't remember who made these for me..I think it was Linda..but I could be wrong..a cute little birds nest with a birdie that you put those scented oils in..and my kitteh from Carmen S...and my candles from Tony and a little machine embroidered pillow by me..

okay now for the finished projects..I am having a ball doing these..this is from my new friend Bella all the way up in New Brunswick Canada..she puts out the easiest and best tutorial patterns ever...this is the bay of fundy neckwarmer...

and these 2 are my favs so far...these are the Lumber Jillian hat and neck warmer..I also have the Lumber Jillian wrist warmers that I need to make..and oh they look so cute on..they are like those woolie socks that we love to wear that are gray, white and red..(I have a pair)..

last night I made steakhouse Pizza from The Pioneer Womans blog..oh my gosh is all I can say..it is mighty tasty.;)I opened the oven and got a steam bath..I like to call it my "sexy pizza"..kind of airbrushed looking..lol...

without the steam...

and here it is in all its glory..with the flank streak grilled and medium rare..fresh mozzerella all melty and parmasaen cheese on top..you must make this..I used a pillsbury pizza crust..nice and thin..this will have a bit of moisture from the sauce and cheese..so it won't eat like a regular pizza when you can pick it up..but a fork and maybe a knife and you are in business..you must try this..definitely a keeper..I have steak left over to make another one..or make something else with it..like a nice pasta...we are having left overs tonight.. of Gina's Oxtail Stew from the neeleys..if you want to impress your family or guests..that one will knock their socks off..rich and decadent..well that is it for me today..I hope you all have a great thursday..I just finished up a series on Netflix and am sad its all done..it was Lark Rise to Candleford...it has 4 seasons..and must see..you will love the period..(very prim in the hamlet) and it is set in england..oh my gosh I wanted to be in that show..have a great day every one..:)
