Thank you soo much!
Well it actually is pretty easy. I usually get up about 6 am and my mom gets up about 9 or 10 and so I slip into our studio and work on it until I hear her moving around. :)

I'm sorry, but don't be discouraged. Sometimes that is just the way it goes. The first week I started I did everything right (this was a month ago) and I put on 2 lbs. My dad said it was because muscle was replacing the fat and muscle weighs more than fat. So keep at it!!!!

How exciting to get on the scale, would it be 1&1/2 lbs?? 2 would be better. I lost nothing, nada, ubupcus(SP?). I had oatmeal for breakfast instead. (sigh)

The gold stuff is Clover's fusible bias tape in gold lame. It comes in either 11 yard or 14 yard rolls. It is a 1/4" wide. I love working with it because it makes this stunning effect. I will say that the tape is very spendy. I believe I pay about 18 dollars a roll for it and this particular pattern uses three rolls of it. It also comes in black and forest green and silver plus other colors. The black is cheaper than the gold or the silver. I have used the green to make a Celtic Knot table runner for my father and his wife for Christmas. It turned out awesome.
To sew down the tape you use a double needle (1/4" apart). It is really fast moving and fun to see it come together.
Oh yeah, one last thing, the Clover mini-iron is the PERFECT tool to use when dealing with this tape. Seriously folks. There is no better thing to use.
Anyway, sorry for going on and on. :):):)

I only had 1/4th of a funnel cake with cinnamon and two lemonades and a tri-tip sandwich that was small. I feel so proud of myself. And this morning I had a nice bowl of oatmeal. mmmmmmmm. how is everyone else doing? I will be weighing in this morning to see how much damage I did eating the funnel cake and tri-tip. Hopefully nothing because of all the walking around we had done.

I think rewarding yourself with the pancakes is still a good idea. You don't have to eat five of them but you could still do it.

Thanks Missy. I bought one of the mini-irons a couple of weeks ago. Now instead of having my big ironing board and iron up all the time, I can use a small, table top board and the mini. It works great! And they aren't really expensive. Mine was $6 at Walmart, on sale.

Here is the table runner I am working on for my mom for Christmas.
Be brutal here people! Tell me what you really think about it. I want to know so I can change it if possible before I give it to her. 'kay?
