I'm BA A aaack!!!

Long time no blog so sorry but its been a crazy past few months.  But now that the remodel at the store I work at is over and I'm not working as many hours I can get back to my quilting and scrapbooking in my free time.  I've also started going back to the gym again.  Been a slacker on that!

So today I went and rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.  Felt great to close my eyes with my head phones on and pretend I was on the trail.  I so can't wait till it's warm enough to ride.  My husband has our board with our goals for this year all set up.  Last year my goal was 500 miles and I rode 1200 ish.  This year Kevin doubled my goal and set it for 1000 for me and 1500 for himself.  Kevin got him a new bike and is planning to ride the rain ride so he will be really training hard for it.  I am planning on doing the reid ride again and may try the double one but we will see.  I'm not a strong rider but I do pretty good and just enjoy myself and that is what matters to me while trying to get healthier.

This is what my trail looked like a week ago.  Can't wait till the snow is gone


On the quilt front:  I've started working on my Celtic solstice mystery quilt again.  I now have 6 blocks completed.  


 I've made the center for the round robin I am in for a quilt group I've joined in Ohio.  I can't wait to see what the next person will be putting on it.



Today I cleaned up my cutting table.  Cutting down the scraps and putting them into the right drawers.  I cut my scraps in different sizes such as in 5", 2.50 and 2" squares.

My Birthday was a few days ago.  My sissy stopped by my work and brought me some balloons and a black kitty and a new pandora bracelet.  I love it sissy!!


I had a nice surprise my family met me at one of my favorite restaurants and my daughter sara bought me a card and star bucks gift card and my dinner.  Thank you sara.


Until next time I happy crafting!
