OK, I started committed. Spent the first couple of days working on sewing room so I wouldn't feel overwhelmed by the chaos!

Friday, I got my purse handle pieced, batting and interfacing fused in and sewed three rows of stitching.

Saturday, well, here's how my day went. 8:00 a.m. Weight Watchers with DH to learn about the changes to the program. Got another 5 lb sticker as I have now lost 96.2 pounds total! Then we went to breakfast at IHOP. (We always treat ourselves after weight watchers.) I got egg substitute, ate 1 strip of bacon, and both pancakes with sugar free syrup. All in all, not too bad on the points. From there we went home for 1 hour then back out to drop hubby off at church for a meeting and then off to run errands. I wanted to get some ribbon at Hobby Lobby and then go to JoAnns the hardware store, target and then back to pick up hubby.

Well, does spending almost 2 hours at Hobby Lobby count s sewing time???? All their fall and holiday fabric is 50% off! I bought enough to make 4 bags including a rather realistic-looking faux animal print. Then I went to Lowes and bought some white pegboard to put up in my sewing room so I can get 'more' organized. Never made it to any of my other stops and was 15 minutes late picking up hubby! Then wound up meeting with our pstor for about 30 minutes while I was there.

Sunday was filled with conducting the choir, breakfast with church friends, then taking DH to the grocery store (BIG MISTAKE). We didn't get home until 2 p.m. At 3:30 had to return to church for a leadership meeting, then met with music dept, finally home at 6 p.m. and my neck from the accident was really hurting so popped a muscle relaxer and no sewing again last night. but I DID organize some more of my tutorials and then sat with laptop and my Quilting Board friends until I was about ready to fall asleep with keys on the computer ... then remembered I had clothes in the washer. By the time I finished drying and hanging those it was midnight. Since my day starts ast 5:45 a.m. ... I went to bed!

Will try and do better tonight.
