This is the fun dress I am working on

Pursuant to my "rules" - I am finishing the one I cut out already. It will be cute, and easy.

trainer and the following and sewing!

Finally I sewed again.  I am doing the finishing on the purple dress. It really is a nice dress though and better for when I am tan so I am not super motivated. I am going to start working on a fun warm weather thing now.

Last night I rode my trainer, sewed then watched the finale to the Following.  I could not believe about Agent Parker.  I think next season is all about Emma.

Emma is alive, others dead

I am tempted to get my haircut again. Or I just may cut some off before I go to work today.

weekend report

I worked out but only on Saturday and no sewing. I suck. But I did work for a few hours on Saturday and did get a lot done around the house including moving the coffee table I hate from the tv room into the car by myself!

Here are some shots. Please note all of the stuff my dad made in the backyard (bird feeder, tables, and gate on back porch)

I require that we sit on the front porch for at least 5 minutes every Sunday. No matter how cold.

This is how the garden looks after Brian worked on it.

Mission accomplished

Not for sewing but for working out. I went and lifted.  Tonight I hope to motivate to ride after I get home. Nothing dramatic - just out and back to Seward Park or something.

Brian and I got invited to the M's game on Friday, the beard hat night.  So we are going.

I am buying my Husky Football season tickets today on line. You get an"appointment" time in February and for me and my ranking I have to wait until now until buy.  It will cost out at about $150 a game.  I am excited for the new stadium. I split the two seats with Jeannine (4 games with her) and Brian (2 games).

Bishop Sankey is going to rock it this year. He and Kasen Williams are among my favorites. His dad played when I was there

Trainer time

I rode my trainer last night. Now that my go fast bike is fixed (thanks to Brian) I may do a short ride outside after I get home tonight.  No sewing, again.  Hopefully tonight. And of course, The Following. I think the lady agent (currently buried alive) will live but I was surprised when Roderick died.

I was surprised what she did to to Jacob last night.  She is one of the scariest, worst, evilest, sluttiest characters.

Sunday report

Yesterday I did not sew but I did work out. I went to the Husky Spring game, in the rain but it was at Memorial so I was dry.

 Brian drove me there and home so that was better than scooter riding in the rain or riding the bus. This is on the viaduct looking towards the port and the stadiums

Today is is something for working out and house stuff, like laundry.  I have temporarily won the battle with the squirrels at the bird feeder.  today Brian and I were totally cracking up watching them try to jump onto it then belly flop on the grass.

Flashback photo:

Please note awesome key chain, halter bikini top and the fact that the parking brake is not set and the Pinto is ready to roll backwards into the Swanson's yard.

Another day of obeying the rules

I procrastinated forever but I finally got on my trainer and did a good workout last night. While watching part of the Office and Parks and Recreation. I love Parks and Recreation.

Then it was upstairs to watch Project Runway. I think Michelle will win win but I like Patricia.  She was my favorite and I am happy she got to the finale. I will be ok with whatever happens now.

Here are some pics for today.

 Driveway basketball. I suspect you are killing me at HORSE

This is a staged scene. It is not from a movie. I know it looks like something from some special effects expert but it is not.

My favorite was voted off Dancing

DL Hugley.  He was a bad dancer but he was super funny and had good hair and glasses.  And I rode my trainer while I watched his demise.



Did you know I used to be a model?

I specialized in velour running suits and big hair.

Monday, lifting - no sewing

But at least I did something. Today I am going to ride my trainer for 90 minutes. Barf.  I have been scanning all of my old pictures to get them saved and into a  fun album. Here is a sample.

 One of the classic Spock Doll photos.

I was looking at those pics from our trip to Disneyland. I totally want to go on another trip like that.

My jerseys in action

I asked Brian to focus on my team (and my kit) at the race yesterady

Hopefully back at it

Last week I was a total loser.  No exercise and no sewing. A total failure. But yesterday I took a new sewing client who I will meet today and I worked out! And I installed a squirrel baffle that is keeping them out of my bird feeder.

The baffle is the black cone thing

And today we re-initiated coffee on the front porch. We could not do that yesterday due to the hail.

TODAY

YESTERDAY

Mariners Opening Day

I liked these seats the best of any we have had, even tough they were far up.  The new screen huge and awesome.  And of course, scooter parking was primo.  I definitely want to go to more this summer.  I have never been when it was hot.

Looking towards the city

I have sucked (again) but I did buy fabric

This weekend was too many errands and crap to get any free time. But I did pass my photoshop final and buy some fun new fabric at Tina's on Madison.

 This is a faux sparkly purple animal skin. Only about 1 yard left.

 This is really fun sparkly trim.

sleeve facings

I did not put interfacing on them.  I may need to do understitching to get them to sit perfectly.
