Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends south of me in the United States! If you have too much left over turkey and all the other goodies you are very welcome to send some over to me :) Since our Thanksgiving was over a month ago I can barely remember the delicious flavours LOL</div>

For a day in between night shifts I was pretty energetic today. I had my booty workout right after work that put me into a nice deep sleep :) And I could even convince myself to go out for a run after I woke up - the hardest part was getting out of the door. Then it was really fun to run in the little bit of snow that is around. </div>

According to the weather forecast the temperatures are expected to warm up again to around freezig for at least the next 2 weeks!!!! I am getting even a tiny bit worried ... don't want to miss out on a white Christmas! But in the meantime I won't complain. :)</div>

Robin I am for sure not a big fan of spiders ;) but I am a sucker for the fake ones for Halloween - gives me just the right amount of shivers. Oh yeah....I am wondering if you have a blog as well. If so, would you please leave the address in the comments :) I would love to stop by for a visit.<br />

We were blessed with wonderful fall temperatures until the middle of November - no snow on Halloween ... YAY! Tuesday and Wednesday last week it we got some stormy winds and it was so strong that I decided not to run outside....it was kinda scary....but thanks to my belly and booty workout I still got some exercise. Some days I think that I almost see some changes already, maybe not really LOL<br />
But I surely feel some differences when climbing the dreaded ladders to the different roof levels at work:<br />

When the winds finally died down these 2 girls couldn't wait to get outside for a stroll :) The big one laced up her runners and the small one took her bike.<br />
What is your approach to get in shape and be a healthier you? Or are you in the "planning and thinking about it" stage? I would love to hear from you!<br />

Last night I finished "The Diva Runs Out of Thyme" by Krista Davis. It is the 1st one in the Domestic Diva Mystery series. It was already published in 2008 but so far I had never read one of her books. Wow, what a mistake!... It well deserves the good ratings it got on Goodreads. It never gets boring and there a lot of suspects. But they are so well described and introduced that I never had a problem to remember who is who. I am already looking to buy the next one in the series.<br />

I have been stitching on an off , reading and running. Even though I have been running for about 2 years now and I am not overweight I still have quite a few "love handles", some belly fat and some extra fat at my thighs.<br />
I made the decision to start eating clean and do some exercise to strengthen my core and fight the fat. It is definitely not getting prettier the older I get. LOL I thought it would be a good idea to post about my journey here for accountability and to keep track of the changes that I (hopefully) for sure will experience ;)<br />
Here is a picture of me in the summer...you can clearly see my not so pretty belly :(<br />

I started drinking Shakeology once a day to make sure I get all the nutrition my body needs and it also helps to keep the cravings for sweets at bay. I have started cutting back on fast food, frozen meals, sweets and other unhealthy foods. I am not completely there yet but step by step I am getting there. I have already dropped 7 pounds without any problems.</div>

am currently reading "Suede to Rest" the 1st book in the
Material Witness mystery series. It introduces us to Poly (as in
Polyester) Monroe. Poly has recently learned that she is the sole
heir to her great aunt and uncle's estate. The estate consists of a
run-down, closed for 10 years textile store, which has been in the
family for decades. Now Poly has to decide if she wants to re-open
the store or put it om the market. Making the decision even more
difficult is the fact that not everyone wants Poly to stay in "their"
town. Once things turn deadly, Poly is almost ready to pack her
things and leave town.....</span></div>

They made such a difference and I proceeded stitching Mouton Printemps. <br />
<br />
I also got weak and signed up for <a href="http://www.saraguermani.it/" target="_blank">Sara</a>'s mystery SAL that starts on April 1st.<br />
It will be a winter sampler when finished. <br />
<br />
She already released the other 3 season samplers. The spring sampler was a mystery SAL too and just ended in February or March 2013. Isn't is so beautiful?:<br />

I thought about frogging but then I would have to order more of the pink floss from France but I am pretty sure that I can make the border work without taking I out and doing it all over. But it would for sure look better if there was a space between those two borders.... :(<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/woelfi01ca/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCInFzNnAu6aGXA#5858977882451090162'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIng6zDutnEn8qP4UEcySzK5vF5S_NSpn8xlvipvQ7hNZsCTvlSTpaKsGKg0Ag-5pv9wrni37MaM90iCbMbbD4e5QyAjmGMKJgDua1z_w79vNhUTf4JZGJ6lS7_fFQT7ILekmN/s288/4.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />And off to enjoy another wonderful stitching day....

I am now working 2 days, 2 nights and then I am 4 days off. That makes the work week so much shorter and I only get to spend one half of the year at work and the other half at home...lol<br />Working as an engineer in a skating and event arena is so much different to what I have done before. But it is quite the fun environment too. Most of the time we have several skating and curling and agricultural arenas and a few event rooms. Now for the Royal Manitoba Winterfair all the ice came out and dirt was put in everywhere for horse jumping and rodeos etc. Lots and lots of stables were built too and when all that is over the ice comes back in until the Mötley Crüe concert. Just too bad that that isn't gonna happen on one of my nights....lol<br /><br />Made a bit of progress on Margaret Cottham. Sorry, I didn't take it out of the Q-snap for the picture....didn't want to waste stitching time :)<br />I changed the last row of numbers up a little bit so that I can add my finishing year next to Margaret's. And I decided to wait with adding the date until I am close to actually finishing it.....you never know...sometimes things tend to take longer around here. LOL<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/woelfi01ca/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCInFzNnAu6aGXA#5858037638597893522'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLwyK8cOWz94efeaOXId-HvcfZrnu4eb7E7L1hMafFySk0JjAWzDx8hMwbXJpWtB1CAeILIR6-yqVrRySyAXKDbfY_v_RY9MRubhScAZ4dQ7cA8TjiYdwAEODyR9whg5CtDOrl/s288/4.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='263' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />After finishing Hare's Lucky Day I started Mouton Printemps by Tralala. I just love to stitch the flowery colours even though we still have a pile of snow outside and -15 Celsius (1 Fahrenheit) plus windchill. But the forecast says only 2 more weeks then we will be having above freezing temps. So soon bye bye to the winter.

I didn't have enough of them to finish a project I started a couple years ago. Somehow I ended up ordering only part of the silks needed?!! Must have had a sleepy moment.<br /><br />The little bag on the left are threads needed for 2 future projects. And Celeste I had to order to make shipping from France worth while.

It seems like there is no kind of thread that they don't carry. Just wandering through the isles of wonderful cottons and silks is stunning. Everybody was so friendly and helpful. Just great service!<br />My stash buying didn't go over board since the biggest temptation for me is always the fabric but they didn't have any 40ct in stock. <br />What made it home with me is "Winter Holiday Sampler" by Victoria Sampler with accessory pack and the white Mori silk to go with it. Then "Snowy Nights" by Prairie Schooler, some Whisper thread which I always wanted to try for Santa beards and sheep. I picked 3 different kinds of red to chose frame for "Christmas at Hollyberry Farm". I ordered the chart and threads a while ago but I don't like the Mulberry. It seems way too dark. So hopefully one of these reds will look nice.<br />The lady that rang in my goodies put a set of needles and a needle threaded in my bag....so nice! I will for sure make good use of them.<br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/woelfi01ca/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCInFzNnAu6aGXA#5850927467418687826'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8r4E37xENcl6J1mftus7SjvR30d00hPXlEm0uOX9T_Rop5FdG73vfDomd4ZYaPkJRUYW7OrWTtvZLynhxAANB8lxT0M_KZLtcrmKsPQyQJOc4fTtvCyNvpRvUZZM5wVDdwama/s288/1.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a><br />I did get a start on Lucky and am working on it this weekend.<br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/woelfi01ca/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCInFzNnAu6aGXA#5850927480940907074'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjancW2nnFjf_j867OUAqWSicjqobkCnLxhYtOph6UwLxs8O-mLup5nTMkgJh9Q1-ExyGBnzJBjpJm1ZHNLnaqgyIV2lM6ulfr4G287omnWZLPYZz2TFpUtbiXKyodtNDWkllyT/s288/2.jpg' border='0' width='254' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a><br />And off to enjoy another wonderful stitching day....

By the time he arrived at home I had everything packed up for a road trip to North Dakota. So he got in the passenger seat and off we went.<br /><br />Devils Lake was where we were headed yesterday.

Since being in a casino we hat to at least give it a try but 10 minutes were enough for us so we just went to enjoy the food and the whirlpool. <br /><br />Today we're probably heading to Fargo.....do I need to tell you guys what's on my list of things to do there? Of course my first ever visit to the Nordic Needle. I am so excited! I got their catalogs in the mail when I still lived in Germany and now I will actually get to go there. Hope there will still be enough funds for a hotel room on my credit card when I walk out of the store. LOL<br /><br />And off to enjoy another wonderful stitching day....

So Lisa and I went to the mall to buy a nice little top for me to wear tomorrow night when we go out for my send off :) <br />...hmmmm of course I ended off buying 2 tops. One I would have chosen in a different colour since I have never bought anything purple, but the nice lady in the store (talked me into) convinced me that the purple looks great on me... I decided to give it a try and of course I couldn't leave this oh so sweet black little top hanging there ;) guess I will have to decide last minute tomorrow which one actually to wear....<br />Blog surfing I realized that it is soon St. Patricks day. Thank you Paulette for the cute St. Patricks freebie! It is printed and the floss is picked.

In January I thought if I start now I might actually have it finished up in time for Valentine's Day....since that was the plan I kicked my own butt today after work and finally made this little pillow of it. I even had to make a quick run to fabric land to buy the filling and made it there 5 minutes before they closed. :)<br /><br />But at least (just) in time for Valentine's Day:<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/woelfi01ca/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCInFzNnAu6aGXA#5844611688949167010'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif6ItyYrB-5qf1dhyphenhyphen6RGC9_VGeDw-dHcBUohhWOjQB2Q_5MrI3owZIXD-1lKSn_HDGZ-Xw6iNVnSss1CsMcJWW_g6s25aYbfYeEk44t5AKSJNEgniOoCHK7l7JHf-ucNoonY3Q/s288/1.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Binehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15463877892731331805noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15174698.post-12714375430651544062013-02-11T17:35:00.001-06:002013-02-11T17:35:17.301-06:00Kindle KeyboardFor quite a while now I have thought about purchasing a Kindle Keyboard because of its read-to-me feature. So if my hands are busy stitching or cooking it will read the book to me. Once I finally made the decision to buy one they were suddenly not available in Canada and amazon.com wouldn't ship them here. So I waited and waited because I thought they would come out with a new model but nothing happened so I finally bought a used one on eBay yesterday. I just hope it works..... It is even supposed to be here this week, can't wait to try it!<br /><br />And a little update on Margaret Cottham:<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/woelfi01ca/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCInFzNnAu6aGXA#5843842951885829810'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghbWGzWse69jzVZVUbn4E4SEQ04ivV38BmXlLrsMe8k5lVKTW-ahWEWXUoUm0Ms6xt_T7iSaw4hp9p-Sn8UylrRTcR3hgPxCAJBO8P0897gIYnDlol170uDYfGYg3rpeJ_aNwD/s288/1.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Binehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15463877892731331805noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15174698.post-81238434697507324382013-02-09T23:28:00.000-06:002013-02-09T23:28:26.844-06:00Margaret CotthamA little while ago <a href="http://www.nicolesneedlework.com/">Nicole</a> put her started Margaret Cottham up for sale.

I have never stitched a "pre-owned" project since I always thought it wouldn't really feel like being "mine". Luckily I was wrong. :)<br />

Hopefully i can get a picture in the daylight at the weekend that shows the true linen colour. It is not as yellow- brownish as in the second picture.<br />
If I can stick with Mariska until she is finished? Knowing myself, it is probably not gonna happen LOL. There are just too many temptations out there.<br />

It wasn't my most relaxed stitch due to the fact that I stitched 2 over 2 on 32ct. I used the black 32ct because I have a very big piece of linen that I already brought over from Germany. If I will stitch another design on black, I will try if I enjoy 1 over 2 on 40ct black more. <br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/woelfi01ca/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCInFzNnAu6aGXA#5839765242608226130'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnpxbvc0cg9Zwsp2LaAbD5YXq_65YMalb2gvQnerW8PZ2S1RdH2Wa0sHWzCAx1zA0exY0d9BLmseMxb3A_oO112hOy2LJ9Z1091orJkWMMvm5s_9Pg1rLdJ3Bd2dUoRgpVTPyY/s288/1.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a><br />Thanks you Ranae!!

I got to do some STASH shopping in Edmonton :) Craft Connection is such a wonderful store. Lots of goodies and things to admire. I probably should have taken a picture but I was so busy exploring everything that I forgot....<br />
<br />
I took a couple WIP's for the trip but my old Permin Sampler prooved to be the easiest to stitch on in the truck. The 28ct linen and the stitching with 1 thread of HF thread made it really easy.<br />
<br />
I had it listed in my post of stitching goals for 2011 but as so many things in there I never put any stitches in it. So this is where I picked up stitching:<br />

I wrote my 2nd BCIT exam just after work on my last day of work and got the good news while being on vacation....I passed YAY!!! Now I have to apply to write the provincial exams. I hope to do them both on one day. If I get really lucky I could pass them at once. Which would save me at least 3 months. But that is quite optimistic. So I better get back to studying now that I am back home.</div>
