One year and counting

It has been a little over a year since I have decided to create a list and complete it. In one year we have done a lot and there are still a lot of things that I want to complete.

I do need to keep posting more regularly and I am starting to see that I have more time to do things now that the babies play more independantly.

Currently, I am finding my creative side again!! I missed it. I have finished the drawing/sketching the sihoulette portrait of Madelyn and Grace that I started. Now I just have to paint and seal it. I am all done cutting the fabric for Madelyn's quilt and I hope to sew that while she is gone on a camping trip in the next few weeks. I have also started a scrap block quilt for my mom. I hope to have this done for her by Christmas. I am also working on my Christmas cards - that are clean simple designs. This makes it easy for mass production.

As time passes my kids tastes change. I started a Dinsey mural in my daughters playroom when we moved back into our house - since then Madelyn and Grace have decided to no share a room and toy room is now Madelyn's. Madelyn's new room is going to have a Tiedyed/Peace theme. The wall that the mural is drawn on is now going to be covered with tiedyed fabric wallpaper. So, I am not sure how to go about this part of my challenge. Either I start a new mural or I nix this from this list....I will ponder this for awhile. Also with the girls bedding projects that I started some time back (rather bought the stuff for it) is not being used for their original plans. I am lucky that I did not start Madelyns pillowcases - as now she is not interested in High School Musical anymore. So hers are going to be dyed for her new room. Grace's tinkerbell sheets were started and I think I can still finish those for her as she is young and likes anything girly.

To the weight part of this challenge. I had a very hard time with the Weight Watchers points - I spent too much time durning the day calculating points. With working and the kids and a busy schedule I need to try a different method. I know I need to limit my portions and be more active. I may try the weight watchers again, hopefully I will stick to it.

I hope that I can start posting some of these yummy recipes that I have found. It is canning season again so once all of that is done I will try to post them :)

I am glad that I am still actively trying to complete this challenge even if I am not posting as often as I'd like to. As I go through this next year I hope to accomplish more - I want to see more items in blue in the sidebar.

Thanks for the support!!
