Turtle Trot - February

Well its the 10th of the month already (seriously, where is this year going already???) So that means it is time for my second Turtle Trot check in for the year.

Again this month I worked on just two projects, but I am very pleased to say I have managed to finish one of my ten pieces already this year! One down nine to go...!

This is how it looked at the last check in

And here it is all complete :)

Other than that my other (very tiny) progress has been on Twilight Magic, the progress is much less noticeable but I promise you, it is there!

After

So with Tribal Orca now finished it means another of my TT pieces will be coming out to play, come back next month to see which and how far I get! :D

Tribal Orca...FINISHED!

Good evening!

Yep, you read the title right, I have been working away on Tribal Orca over the weekend and this afternoon I placed the final stitch :)

I really enjoyed working on this project and I think the final result is great even if I do say so myself!

Stitched on Deep Water by Colour Cascade Fabrics 14ct Opal Aida

So, my first finish of the year - hooray!

What will I work on next, well I'm not sure to be honest! I guess the next time I sit down to stitch I will peek in to my craft bag which holds all ten (or nine now!) projects for the year and whatever takes my fancy will be the one :)

In other news I have been a little behind in my blog reading and commenting as I started back on Slimming World again last weekend, so this past week I really focusing on that and getting myself organised. But it all paid off and I had my first weigh in yesterday and...

Yep, a whole 7 pounds in one week :D I was so happy and shocked!

I know it is because it is the first week but still I am off to a great start with my weight loss journey this year and I really want to add to what I managed to shift last year. I also ran three times this week making my total distance for February so far 11.5 km which I am pleased with.

Well, the weekend is almost over once again but thats ok, I have a short working week this coming week as I booked Thursday and Friday as holiday. No big plans but thought it was about time I took some time off :)

Until next time
