I can't believe this weather we're having!  It's been raining cats and dogs all weekend.  Today was sunny and warm, but tonight it's going down to 10 Celsius!  It's so cold I shut the doors and put on a warm dress...as opposed to shorts and sleeveless top.  This is the end of June for crying out loud!

Well despite the weather I've been able to stay on track with my weight loss plan.  I phoned around today looking for adult swimming classes.  It looks like I can get five lessons for $90CAD from the city.  Not bad as it would be private instruction.  One place offering them was shut down till July.  I'll phone the other place tomorrow.  I checked with the YMCA and it was actually going to cost me $64CAD for a class with other adults.   I thought I'd buy a YMCA membership ($50/mth) and access massage, fitness assessment and training for free.  But apparently all those things cost extra over and above the membership.  Doesn't make much sense to have a membership to me!  I'm opting for the private swim lessons through the city.

My official weigh-in was 176.4 pounds.  I am hoping to make 175 pounds by the end of the month.

The sewing room is coming along fine.  I picked up a little corner shelf and cross from a yard sale for the room. Paul hung the shelf and I quickly filled it.  The cross needs a special hanger on it.  Paul also hung up my magnetic knife rack.  I use it to hold scissors and other metal objects used in sewing.

I've also been shopping for sashing fabric for my sampler quilt.  I have one more block to take a photo of and post.  I finished it Saturday.  I think this will look okay.  I'm waiting till I have the entire top sewn before deciding on a backing fabric.

I also pulled out my kimono quilt to work on again.  The instructions aren't very good.  I'll have to re-cut some pieces. 

I finished going through the crazy quilt fabric.  I separated silks from satins, etc.  I'm thinking the silks might actually go into a yo-yo quilt.  We'll see.  I am also on the last half box of quilting fabric.  I should really finish that tomorrow.  But we'll see.  I have company coming and lots to do!

My frugal find today was the local Bulk Barn store.  Some things are more expensive there, some things less.  So you really have to watch it.  There were some nice diet things there too.

I've taken to picking up organic produce when we eat the whole plant.  But non-organic if we peel it.  I put off buying meat today.  Seems a little goes a long ways when there's only two of us in the house.  My biggest challenge these days is not buying too much food!

Well I'm off to watch a library DVD with Paul before bed.  Write to you all later!
