Fabulous Friday Frantics
 
Good morning girls: Today is going to start a series called "Fabulous Friday Frantics".
This month is Breast Cancer Awareness. Apparently there is a facebook contest going around for the month of October. Last year it was for bra color. This year it is along the line of making a man guess why you are 8 weeks and craving starburst (child's thing). Well, I am 12 weeks and craving Gummy Bears. Like that is possible at my age and physical condition. So as a starter to commend those couragous women out there who have survived or going thru such a tragic thing, here it is:

January = 1 week
February = 2 weeks
March = 3 weeks
April = 4 weeks
May = 6 weeks
June = 8 weeks
July = 10 weeks
August = 12 weeks
September = 13 weeks
October = 14 weeks
November = 16 weeks
December = 18 weeks
Days of Month:
1 - skittles

Thanks Cindy, and QuilterMomma. I am soooo happy to have lost the weight. I lost 10.8 lbs. With my doctor putting me on a diet, besides my already on one, and lowering my salt, I guess that helped more than I thought. Even though I love the batiks too like all of you, I have to admit to a little secret. I LOVE florals. I guess because of how much I love working with flowers, so I am one happy person. I will be able to make lots of plans now for so many pretty things to sew. I am doing the happy dance! :D

I am 6 weeks, and craving Reeses's Fastbreak. QuilterMomma this is wonderful. Funny thing is, I always love anything Reeses.

JuneBillie 10-04-2013 04:19 PM

Cindy, I think that is a sign for your dates. :)

Congratulations JuneBillie. That is awesome. Enjoy your winnings. I am taking a class tomorrow that is miniature paper piecing. It is supposed to be a new easier method of PP. I plan to use the batiks I won on this project.
I am 13 weeks and craving bubblegum. (it should have been something chocolate)

So my 17 yr old son just told me that he cut out snacks this week and lost 8 lbs. A little envious here. :) He wrestles and is working on increasing strength and endurance. After wrestling season he plays rugby.

My hair dresser told me she keeps a package of fresh spinach in her freezer and crumbles it over different dishes during the week. I may have mentioned this before. I have a package in the freezer and am going to try it with some vegetable stew I made.

I'm in again and will send my fat quarter asap.
