My fingers are sore!!! I set a goal this weekend to finish another section of ballerina. This week I put in 6,880 stitches in her!!!! I just have one section left to stitch!!! I am hoping to have her finished in two weeks. That is the goal..two weeks! I do have 2 Halloween ornaments that I need to stitch up. They will have to wait...I want her FINISHED!!!
Weight:
The week I am proud to say I lost 0.2 lbs. That is it. I know you are wondering why I am proud of that loss..well..it was a LONG week. First, we had staff development on Monday and Tuesday. They fed us Hamburgers on Monday and Tuesday we went out to eat (1st time). Then Tuesday night, I had a friend in town so we went out to eat (2nd) and I really enjoyed my artichoke and spinach dip with deep fried bow tie pasta for dipping. Wednesday afternoon, Mark sent me an email saying he was going golfing and was wanting to pick me up sushi (3rd) for dinner. That is my weakness...I LOVE sushi!! Friday was payday. On payday, my friend Erin and I always go out for appetizers and something to drink (4th ). I had a treat of 1/2 sweet -1/2 unsweet tea, chips dip, etc. On Saturday, Mark decided we needed Jimmy John sandwiches (5th) for dinner....so as you can see I ate out 5 times this week!!! So I am proud to say even with all this eating out I still lost a VERY small amount of weight!!!
This next week I will do better!!!

No wonder your fingers hurt, what great progress! Fingers crossed for meeting your goal.
Wonderful progress on your WIP! It's beautiful! YGG on the weight loss, too!
Ballerina looks beautiful, Vickie.
You have good reason to have sore fingers! Give them a few days to rest (while you're working), and you'll be ready to set them ablaze again next weekend. lol
