You are a role model for us.

I did go last night to my LQS and had a lesson with my serger. I've had it for 4 years and never even plugged it in. It wasn't near as scary as I thought it would be. I've also started on the table runners for DD wedding reception. I'm going to make 10 of them. My weight is a little up and down but over all I'm doing ok.
I think I had my serger for over 10 years & was ready to garage sale the thing for a few bucks. It sat on the closet floor & I never figured out how to thread it. Then one day someone in a class I was taking for my Bernina, told me that she had the Simplicity serger & called it her workhorse! I thought that since it was a cheaper machine ( JoAnns with a 50% off coupon)that it wasn't any good. DUH! When I took the time to read the manual, I found out it was SIMPLE and it did work great. So you are far ahead of me! LOL!!!
The table runners sound really cool, I hope you post pictures!

Ok, I weighted today, and gained one pound. I was just glad that it was one pound. I was afraid it would be more. Beautiful quilt Cindy.

Well tomorrow I will weigh again and hope those 2 pounds disappeared as fast as they arrived lol. Probably not, it's been a bad week for my arthritis & bursitis and I haven't walked as much as I should. I really hadn't thought about my weight going up when my joints are swollen, but it might make a difference of a pound.
Teddybear Lady 32 pounds since January is wonderful! I would be thrilled with that rate of weight loss. Whatever you are doing, keep up the good work.
When I am hungry for a bedtime snack, I usually have toast and peanut butter. (Sometimes just a spoonful of peanut butter
)
