Is grass a motif? I'm claiming it to be so. A star, done in a darker yellow than called for, a green bird, grass, and the bottom of a human.
My plan was to finish the left side to the bottom and then complete the center A&E, but that doesn't make sense, does it. Starting at the sides and working to the middle .... who does that! Me. My reasoning, after the disaster on the upper tree, allows the tree limbs to be modified without notice if an adjustment is required.
Once I have the bottom trunk lined up with the top, I will move to the left edge and work in. Any errors there can be hidden in the limb length, but if I complete the tree and err on any of the motifs, there is no where to go. So that's the plan.
I had the shock of my life when I tried a pair of light patterned leggings yesterday. I can't believe how large a certain portion of my body has become and I must get serious about losing it. Really. My doctor is adamantly against Keto and the amount of dairy fats/meats involved (but it works for many), I have no desire to try plant based and give up so much, WW is too involved and always needing to check foods, so I've decided on the old tried and true. Consume less. Moderation. More of the good and less of the bad. Simple. As soon as the last three Jamocas are out of the freezer. When we're out in the afternoon, we stop for Arby's 2:00-5:00 $1 shake deal. Perfect small size for a treat so I buy 5 and freeze them. One minute+ in my low dose microwave, a few stirs, a perfect cool evening treat that feels wonderful to my dry mouth.
American Country magazine (https://www.americancountrymagazine.org/) is supposedly publishing this year and there is a February shipping announcement on the website. I emailed twice last fall to ask if my subscription was current so I don't miss an issue, no reply. There is a number to text on the website so I did, no reply. If anyone gets an issue, please let me know so I can find it online. I would appreciate it! I know she has dealt with a lot of health issues and I hope all is well, but I don't understand why I can't receive a simple yes/no reply. I've been a subscriber from the beginning and can't find a single issue. I know I got rid of my Simple Life and Primitive Place collection, did I also send out American Country? If I did, let me know so I can quit searching. I hold them dear as my Early Homes issues so I can't imagine what happened to them.
Have a good day!
Thanks for visiting.

Oh help! I never knew Arby's had this deal!! Oh my.
I have stopped eating meat except for turkey breast now and then. I've lost 30 lbs. over a period of a year. (Stress may have had something to do with that too). Tuna salad, egg salad and lots of vegetables have helped. I keep crackers on hand for a quick snack with a cup of tea. I like milk in my tea....that seems to help fill me up. I get more exercise in the summer, cutting grass, working in my yard.
Very little candy is kept here. Jolly Ranchers are one of our favorites.
The idea of freezing your milkshakes is a good one. My family would go for that.
I have kept all of my Primitive Place magazines, have some Simple life and about four issues of American Country. I got rid of my Country Living several years ago. Sure do wish I had had the space to keep them.
I hope you're having a good week so far.
Take care.

That's a full fledged lawn so yes, definitely can be designated a motif! It pleases me so much to see your stitching progress.
I'm loving this sampler Marly. And thanks (NOT) I had forgotten all about Jamoca shakes (my favorite). And I didn't know about the deal either....
Have you looked into intermittent fasting? 8 hr eating window followed by 16 fasting hours...and yes, sleeping fasting counts...
I did not know about Arby's sweet deal. YUM! The weight goes on so much more quickly than it comes off. Just doesn't seem fair.
Lovin' your sampler.
Oh....my.....this is going to be all kinds of gorgeous! (I sorta jumped in mid-motif so didn't know what you were actually working on). You are such an enabler, you know? I did not know Arby's had such a deal either...and I have never had a Jamocha shake, but it sounds tempting. Now, buying 5 and freezing them...well, while that sounds like a splendid idea to you and me, I am pretty sure my husband would have a come apart and I would be proclaimed a shake hoarder. As for the weight...well, I have not tidbits (get it? "Tidbits"??) of wisdom. I would fail miserably at dieting should I ever try I know because when I have a hankering for something, nothing else will do except that something. If you find something magical, please do share.... And, no, I don't have your old magazines....but I am sure I have collections of any number of other titles laying around here. (Is hoarding becoming a theme in this comment LOL???). ~Robin~
