Bet you thought I'd disappeared...

Nope. Just lost my stitching mojo -- trying to find it again.

I thought I'd check in and make a quick update. I've been concentrating on losing weight this year. So far, I've lost 53 pounds (see photo above) and joined Spark People, an online Weight Loss / Lifestyle Change network.

I highly recommend it! It's free to join and they have so many tools to help you in your efforts. I use the name GeorgiaMist at Spark People.

We even have a stitcher's group there:

Team Stitchaway

I even started writing a blog to chronicle my experiences.

Please feel free to stop by and say hello -- you can find me here:
Gathering My Roses

I am really going to make an effort to get back to my stitching, though. I miss it and I miss reading the stitching blogs.
Heck, I miss buying stash!

So, that's my update -- I hope that next time I check in I have some updated WIP / Finishes to show you.

Please send any good stitching karma my way.

Hey 19!

Today is my 19th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it. Has it been that long?

WOW.

I still haven't stitched anything -- although, I'm about to head into the living room to sit down with a project and see if I can work up some enthusiam for it.

I think that I'm paying so much attention to my weight loss goals that I've just neglected my needlework. Not a good idea -- I need the balance.

That said, I've lost 4 more pounds since my last post. I'm now down 42 pounds since July 2008. Most of that coming since January of this year.

Wish me luck on my stitching endeavour today!
