Progress Report

Granny Square (my first!)

My HOME challenge!

A picture is worth a 1000 words…right?  Here is one of my first crochet projects.  I have completed 3 classes at the Leisure Learning Center.  I can't say I have this mastered by any means -- but I do have some basic knowledge.  I have also been watching some you tube videos. This crochet thing isn't hard -- but certainly not simple either.  

I found this super cool little store called Knit in the Loop near my house.  It is an old home turned into a knitting store and place to hangout and knit/crochet with others.  Its very cozy and lots of elderly ladies (my favorite) to hang with. I signed up for a beginner class there which takes place tomorrow.

I have my pattern now for my actual puppy blanket and have ordered the yarn to do it.  So hopefully once I have mastered a few more skills I can start working on it.  Given my current speed -- it map take me all year to complete it.

Courage & Heart & Brain Challenges

All coming along nicely at this point.  

Brain:  I have finished one partially read book (And the Mountains Echoed) completed another new one (Dr Sleep) and started a 3rd (The Husband's Secret).

Heart:  January was Push Up month -- completed that and have taken on Tri-cep Dips for February.

Courage:  This challenge was to maintain daily food journaling to insure staying at my weight goal.  And I have stuck with that as well.

Elements Progress

I also want to catch you guys up on my latest news.  We officially have a location -- we are now in the process of negotiating and signing a lease.  Not sure how long that will take -- probably a few weeks at least.  Our location is in Sugar Land -- about 25 miles from our house.  It is a bit smaller than we expected -- but should work out fine.  It is in a new center -- so we will be the 1st tenants in the location.  There are a lot of variables but our projected opening date should fall into the July/August time frame.  It is truly hard to believe -- exciting and frightening all at the same time.

Ethel -- can you post the name of your protein bars?  The picture is a bit blurry and I can't read the package.

Be well everyone!!!!

Courage!

This wasn't my "committed" activity, but I did sign up for something out of my comfort zone today!

I signed up for "WOMEN ON TARGET" which is a women's only shooting event!  While I know Lil Ricky has a gun, I am not comfortable with them and do not even get the whole obsession.  I don't even like firecrackers or any of that potentially dangerous stuff, especially around the hands for some reason.  Maybe that's why I can't cook.    It's a whole day of training, then rifles, pistols, shotguns and archery (LY my friend told me she shot an AK-47!).  It's not until Sept but it sells out in March! Lots of crazies out there.

Pretty sure this will make it in to the "New to Me" book!
