Nothing to show… yet

Ok, so I bet your wondering.. where’s the quilt? heehee, After further examination of the pattern purple I was going to use, it’s was more blue than the other purple I was going to use… UGH! SO I have had to be patient until I can get material. We searched in the city this week and nothing. We just couldn’t find it. So maybe later today, I will just go to the Mercado to get some yards here and there I have one project kinda started and so many more in my head!!! I am making everything up in my head and then using Photoshop to design and figure out what and how much! The one here I call Shutters. I know… pretty ugly, for now, I am working on it! Pray I can get material.

What have I been doing?

I guess life happens and this is what I’ve been up to…

DesignUnderground – my self employment business:

• A friend of mine wanted to do a website for his church, so I taught him how to use the templates from his webhost and this is what he’s done all on his own! www.bigtimebbc.org
• A friend of mine needed a logo so I did one for her, see it on her site – www.reflectionsofgracephotography.com – i have also done her business card design and ordered her BCs with my print broker account.
• Annually we do a prayer card, so our prayer warriors can see us and pray. We got a photo done, and designed the card. I uploaded it to be printed and I am waiting for the test run come so we can see how my files work with their system. I need to do one print job a month to keep my broker account. Do you need printing done?
• A paying customer of mine bought a domain name and needed an “underconstruction’ page/graphic – so I did one for him: http://www.money4racing.com/M4R-UC-Splash.jpg it looks better on a black page. He now needs the site up and running along with another site he needs redesigned and a logo graphic from a drawing.
• I also help a church with their graphics. I am working on their letter head.
• now i need to do my own site.

New Eating Lifestyle:

• Doing great! it’s been two weeks and day-by-day
• i have zero clue if i lost or how much – i don’t own a scale and it’s ok, my goal is to do this for life not for ‘measurement’ – currently i know this works for me (my body type)
• I am having fun inventing recipes too. I still use my favorite site allrecipes.com and the ingredient search, then I usually read three similar recipes and then make my own, substituting what i need for my way of eating. then i also try to east smaller portions, still had to do!
• I am drinking so much water! I make sure i drink two of my big cups first thing in the morning – my cup is 32 ozs and so 2 would be my minimum 64 for the day. Water water water before i treat myself to any other drink.
• i feel better and feeling more energy. But through the elimination of foods i used to eat has made me tired at some points. I guess withdrawals and my body learning the do things differently without my ‘bad foods’ heehee
• the mid-day headaches have seemed to have subsided YEAH!!
• and the best thing i like is we all eat at the table for all the meals! Way cool

About to visit family

• we’ll be visiting family soon and we’re setting up our appointments and such. We’re about to drive over 1800 miles in 12 days and visit family members from 1 year old to 94 years young! We do have friends with a new baby we’d like to see if they can sneak us in or vice versa.
• i have also shopped online so when we go home we dont spend/waste timne shopping at stores and more time with family. I hope i got some good catches. I bought some new bras at Just My Size and they seem quality for LOW price woowoo!

Praying for many and us:

• we seem to have many prayers coming our way:
• maybe i will post these separately.
