She's Finished

Well folks here she is BLING Finished.

You know..being as I took a break from the computer I was able to do lots of stitching.
I was finding I was not only blogging but gameing and face booking and NOT stitching sooooo thus the break.
I will now get caught up on the comments on your blogs and browse around. I need to limit myself a bit.
I've also been walking every day . I'm up to 40 min. I was never a walker because my job [barber] had me on my feet for 8-10 hours a day. Now that I'm retired I've been on my butt that long. I've put on a bit of weight and am trying to lose some of that as well. I'm down 4lbs...not much but at least it's down!

Take care and stitch with happy fingers.

Bling is wonderful and good he is finished for Halloween. I bet he will like that. Very nice.
Good you are walking, I wish I could make myself do it. I need it but I keep putting it off.
Have a great day.

I too try to limit the computer, its just so easy to come for half and hour and still be here two hours later.

Bling looks great well done.

Bling is gorgeous, Beatrice. And congratulations on the weight loss. I've lost 6 since August just counting calories. I've got to get back to exercising though. Keep up the great work.

Rebel In Ontario said...

BLING is beautiful, can't wait to see her in person in TWO weeks! And if you need a walking buddy for the weekend, I'll bring my shoes! And I know my Mom is always game to get out for a little while as well, and walking around that area will be beautiful, cross your fingers the weather holds!

Julie said...

Congratulations on your finish. Bling looks amazing, and what an appropriate name!

Congratulations on finishing Bling! It feels great when a large project is done. Congratulations on the walking too. It sounds like it is helping.

I want to thank you and Kathy so very much for my little ort box. I visited Carolien during her girls herfstvakantie and she gave it to me. I am going to really find it comes in handy since I go to Cranberry Cottage on the weekends. It goes right into my thread bag to use while I am there. It was so kind of you to think of me!

Hugs ~
Heidi

Congratulations Beatrice, Bling looks fantastic!
I'm trying to get caught up on some stitching this weekend. Work has taken up too much of my time lately.
It's great that you're walking. Hope our recent good weather hangs in there a little longer for you.
