I made a skirt for the dress tour that Leanne Barlow put on, however my aunt was life flighted and we obviously were unable to make the trip. (she is now doing great--it was a bizarre occurrence where they thought there was an aortic dissection, only to go in and realize nothing was there!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made a second #ogdencami by @truebias with her fabric from workroom social and I copied @marcyharriell and added some mini pom trim to the hem. I am completely in love with this too! I also can't wait to try one of the ogden came dress hacks. i want a maxi style and i have the @vandco ombre confetti from gray to black. I think it will be great for a wedding we have this summer and also a few other events...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This pattern is the Regent Street Star, by Moda Bake shop, and then i added these flying geese along the borders. They took Waaaaaaaaaay longer than the top, but i wanted it to be queen sized... he only turns 60 once! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So... most of my running has been on the treadmill, but i have really been enjoying it again, which feels incredible and is helping me mentally deal with being a forced shut in! The snow is pretty, but when it is as cold as it has been it is really challenging to go out and enjoy it. Plus the poor dogs are cooped up too!</span></div>

How are everyone's goals going? The two goals i posted here, neither has been met. 🙈 My father wasn't feeling so hot so we still went and spent the weekend at Seeley Lake, but we didn't do the race. we did do our workouts and skied and still had a great time. I still am sticking with the #elizabethanderin2019 challenge. That involves a daily 1.5 min wall sit and 25 pushups. The next two races i am registered for both st. patrick's themed. One is a 3 miler with a client and her daughter, and the other is the Run to the Pub 10K, which i have done almost every year. I have been enjoying the #gomoregetmore challenge on the Nike Running Club app too. it has kept me motivated to log miles since we literally have 3 feet of snow, treadmill it is. we have had one day that has been above freezing and most of the days have been sub zero for over one month now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am almost finished with a queen sized quilt for my father, for his 60th birthday. I finished the floppy top to show him by his bday, but now i am quilting it on my domestic machine. with a minky back. it is a behemoth beast!!! this is the largest quilt i have made to date and am partially regretting the decision to quilt this myself on my domestic. i will post pics of it completed. it is the regent street star quilt by moda bake shop, and i added flying geese borders with scraps from the pieces in the top. the borders took longer to complete than the main part of the top... oh well it is unique and worth it! :) He loves it, and will use it. I also made another Ogden Cami, with true bias fabric, and copied a fellow sewist from IG and added mini pom trim to the hem. it is SUPER cute! I want to make an ogden cami hack dress, and still want to make the lander pants... probably when this quilt is finished i will begin the pants!!!😬 I have two different fabrics i want to use. If you have any tips or tricks feel free to send them my way!! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did lots of sewing for christmas presents for friends, family and clients. My current obsession: Pom Poms!! i made blankets with poms on the trim, tea towel/napkins with pos on the bottom hem, a table runner, etc. OBSESSED! They add a bit of whimsy and a retro vibe to things and i love the effect. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Goals for 2019:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">make Lander pants</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">snow joke half marathon with Pops</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">so far that is it... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">what are some fun sewing items you have created? What races are you looking forward to? running goals? fitness goals?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy New Year and here's to accomplishing goals!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919549055396164361.post-46643546271688054152017-04-07T23:09:00.001-06:002017-04-07T23:09:36.289-06:00DIY wallets<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, my Sew-Jo is back!! I am so happy that i am inspired to sew again. Not doing great physically, i am glad i have something to occupy my time. Today i made several wallets. It took until the third one to truly dial in the correct size, then once i had it figured out i made a few extras. They make great presses and are fun and quick to whip up. I used a suiting fabric and some left over denim scraps for the exterior fabric and then some fun fabrics for the interior. I wish i had more of the fish, but i love the Hipster Fabric from Crimson Tate. </span><div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last one, i used navy thread to top stitch and it also has the beer fabric. I am always thrilled when i find something fun and functional for guys. My hubbee loves these wallets because they are huge and thick. FYI: it is not great to put your wallet in your back pocket, especially if you sit on it while driving/work etc. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to finish my philanthropy quilt this weekend, and possibly sew a clothing top. What projects do you have going? Also if you have any other guy friendly sewing projects, let me know!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And this is the flying geese mini i made for the flying geese mini swap i am in. It is a jelli quilt pattern, and as usual her patterns are excellent! the error in this is all me! I have dubbed it "amish geese" because of the error. In our guild, we use that term because the amish believe only god was perfect, so everything else is flawed or has an error. I had a great time free-motion quilting. I turned this mini into a pillow case.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This weekend i made a dress with Pockets!!!!! It is a VERY simple pattern by NewLook. it says one hour, but it took approximately 4... even now with the tissue cut out, i still think it would take me two. Maybe i am slow? This fabric is the cotton and steel rayon challis. It is DIVINE! I loved working with it and upon finishing this dress, ordered more. It was challenging to take pics of myself and it was early in the am but you can get the gist! it also has a belt with the same fabric, however i didn't like the look, so i tried it with a leather belt and that was much more flattering. i have a few modifications i will make on the next one, but this pattern was great and i look forward to my next attempt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have the book, <u>Sewing in a Straight Line</u>, by Brett Bara. it is a great book with excellent tutorials and patterns. These fabric trays were in there. Three sizes, however you could make them any size. They are quick and easy and great for stash busting. i made several for extras for my "Pay it Forward" projects and for a few other swaps i have coming up, and easter prezzies.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">This one is a large one. I used my 12.5" square ruler, and I think it is a great way to showcase the Tula Pink fabric. i am going to use it on the coffee table to hold remotes and my angel cards. The possibilities with this fun project are endless. you can make them deeper, triangle shaped, rectangle etc.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So these were some fun items i made over the weekend... and more trays are about half done! :) What did you create this weekend?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On a fitness note, I bought a new reformer. it is the balanced body allegro, xl. i have, however, pulled a muscle (pelvic floor? psoas) and have barely been able to walk so i have yet to utilize it. i can't wait to heal so i can play around on it!! Our weather has been all over the place, but i was able to go for a walk with wrigley and Sunny and her dogs too. it was beautiful.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Saturday I warmed up on the spin bike for 5 miles. Then i performed the following circuit 5x:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">treadmill at 6 degree incline, 7 mph for .25 miles</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10 burpees with tricep push up and single arm row from plank position with 10# db</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10 leg press 15 plates</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10/leg ham curl 2 plates</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10 leg extensions 3 plates</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10 of each/leg adductor and abductor cable 1.5 plates</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">then a one mile flat cool down.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This went by quickly and was fun do to the variety.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sunday i also did a 5 mile spin warm up alternating sitting and standing each minute.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then the workout:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 mile easy paced (7 mph), 1 min of walking lunges with weighted bar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">repeat for 3 rounds</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">40 min on the reformer and pilates mat work.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love circuits. They keep me motivated and focused. And since they are short bursts of a variety of exercises, i can easily wrap my mind around the circuit. They can also be done with little or no equipment, so no excuses to skip a workout!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The pilates felt great on the hammies, my left is still not quite right but definitely improving. And i always love the core work pilates provides. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also did quite a bit of sewing this weekend too! My sew jo seems to be returning. I think it helped having a friend come over for a sew night, i had to tidy up my sewing center. I will post pics next post of current projects! :) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Any goals or events coming up? projects? </span></div>

And one friend couldn't make it due to weather, and another friend decided last minute to take her spot! So friday night i whipped up a sparkly skirt for her to wear as well since she said she didn't have any green to wear.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second one went much faster and without issues. The first one, my needle was getting gummy stuff on it (glue from sequins) and thus breaking the thread. This time i noticed if i sewed a bit slower the glue didn't build up (i don't know why that was), and thus no thread breaking and time consuming rethreading/detangling etc. so the gathering went faster and over all it was just smoother sailing than the first attempt. Which was great, because by friday night my brain is mush. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We left livingston, and it was 18 degrees and socked in. It felt very humid. As we went over the pass, and into bozeman it warmed to 40 and kept climbing, and was sunny. And CALM. This was such a nice reprieve from our livingston winds. I had no time goal for the race, just to keep it easy and feel out this hamstring. And Tara, she thought she would walk most of it and she ran it in its entirety!!! woohoo!!! The event is very fun and there is a block party after where you can have your free cupcake and beer(s) etc. but it was awfully crowded and beer was the last thing i wanted, so we went for sushi (always a win!). All in all, the event was EXCELLENT! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I gave Tara one of the bows i made too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been wanting to make these Birkin Flares forever (seriously for a few years) and finally last weekend i cut out the denim! And the rivets, thread, buttons etc arrived that i ordered from Taylor Tailors (excellent source!). So now these are ready for assembly. However, last night i worked on a bit of my paper piecing for an IG swap, but then had to finish up tax prep. i have a few CHORES to do then hopefully back to the sewing center for me! And yoga later. </span></div>

I normally run the half, however i was supposed to run the SnowJoke again so i only registered for the 10k this year. We are currently receiving snow squalls and it is supposed to be windy which makes the already icy roads extra crappy to drive on, so I am hoping by tomorrow it will have cleared up some... I wanted to share my makes for the race. i bought the sparkly material two years ago but didn't end up running the race that year and forgot about the fabric and ribbons i had bought last year, and found the package of goodies around christmas time this year. Better late than never, i guess!!</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I ordered a fun tee from Etsy, and made these hair clips and sparkly skirt to wear over some leggings. the skirt was fun and easy to make and I'm sure there will be more colors in my future! :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is anyone else running a st. patrick's day race? Costumes? i must say, i love the bows--they are glued onto these excellent alligator clips that stay put. i attempted to wear a fun headband with whirligig pinwheels one year, and those F-ers just kept bonking me in the face/eye/ear and so about half a mile into the race they were launched into the ditch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i am also very happy i hit up one of the running skirts sales and purchased some ice breaker gear. i will definitely be sporting my long sleeved top under my tee. i love the super soft fleece on the inside. wishing fast and non-slipping-on-ice feet to all!!!</span></div>

One can always follow along on instagram turtlegirl00 is my username. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This saturday is the Run to the Pub and i am running the 10k. I am looking forward to it. I am also trying to plan other races for the year... Any recs? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been sewing up a storm, a fun variety of quilts and apparel. This past weekend i cut out the parts for a pair of Birkin flares. I am now waiting for several items to arrive in the mail that i will require to finish them. I have wanted to make these pants for a very long time. Fortunately, they are a tradition wide leg trouser style and will be timeless (hence my desire). I am making them using a dark solid denim, however, i think they would be cute in a patterned canvas, or white canvas like sailor style etc. I used a pdf pattern which is so time consuming trimming it, taping it, then tracing with swedish tracing paper etc. but now that i have the pattern ready to go, if i decide to make another pair it should go much faster. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">while waiting for my finishing notions for the flares, i am working on a philanthropy quilt for our guild and I want to make a sparkly skirt for the pub run. I actually bought the material for it for the race two years ago, however with my mother's passing i bailed on the race. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also am out of netflix shows to binge. any recs? any podcast recs? </span></div>

Although, truth be told, i am intimidated! Looking at the fellow #skirthusiasts they are in so incredible! You can read back through my posts, especially missoula marathon 2014, I am singing the praises of Running skirts! Check out their stuff here:</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I personally like the "Athletic" skirts. they are constructed with shorts underneath the skirts. They make skirts with skivvies too, but i prefer more coverage. They also have golf skirts and those are longer. And maternity, etc. the items wash and wear so well and they have tons of fun fabrics and are always adding new stuff. Enjoy! i sure do.</span></div>

They are so motivating and encouraging and a wonderful resource for my sewing. The same as my ig running peeps. I live in a very small community and am so thankful to have found such remarkable online support. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also since my last post i have bought several sewing machines to aid in the sewing game! I have a crazy techie Janome now and i bought a vintage singer 301. She is gorgeous!!! and even her original case is beautiful too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the highlights of this year so far was attending Quiltcon in pasadena. This trip was so fantastic for so many reasons... first of all leaving montana in the winter to head somewhere warm and sunny is always a bonus. But being around so many talented sewists was inspiring and it also made me realize my own skill set is decent! :) i considered myself a beginner, but i think now i am an intermediate. i had a goal to make something to wear each day to the convention and I DID!! i made two dresses (three actually but one was knit long sleeve--too hot) and a top and several bags. Sunny, my sewing and running bud came on this trip too and we certainly had some laughs, as usual. Also we hit that hotel gym every day too! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As far as my running is going, i just ran a half that went not great... but that is okay, it was an emotionally draining day and i knew it wasn't going to be stellar. i am thankful for the finish. I have several halves on the books (SEAWHEEZE!!) but am contemplating a full again... most likely Bozeman since we have several trips planned already and I don't think i can swing traveling for one this year, but i definitely miss being in training. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am starting a bootcamp program next week, and looking forward to that. My goal is to be better about blogging too... but lots of pics on Instagram @turtlegirl00. so here is to spring, new beginnings or re-beginnings! :)</span><br />

This weekend I ran (hobbled) through my 16 miler on friday to free up my saturday and conserve energy for dancing at Ben and Kristie's wedding. So saturday am, I finally ventured into my sewing center. It has become a catch all for randoms and needed to be tidied before I could sew the few baby items I wanted to make for a friend. During the tidying I found the almost completed skirt. Aha! I can wear this to the wedding today! I slipped on the skirt and it was WAY TOO BIG! When I began this project i was 16 pounds heavier... so I went to work on taking in the skirt and assembling a simple strapless top. voila! ensemble completed! it was so fun to sew again. And tulle is much simpler to work with than I was expecting. The skirt has three layers: a nude jersey layer, another nude jersey layer with gold flecks and then the black tulle layer. I was glad it wasn't too full, so I wouldn't look like i was wearing a cupcake.</span><br />

Melissa is a sewist and a runner (sew sole sister!!). She is hosting a challenge right now where you make an article of active wear and walk/run a race in it. I am running in Bloomsday in Spokane on Sunday, so I attempted a pair of leggings. I found a tutorial on Etsy as to how to make your own pattern. I also just received the new book, <u>The Colette guide to Sewing Knits</u> and some new knit fabric that was on sale at fabric.com. </span><br />

This was the first time I used my french curve ruler!! Very excited about that... it was a "must have" that has been in packaging for at least a year. Ther pattern worked out great. The only adjustment I had to make was to shrink the waist up. I tend to make things bigger (I don't trust my own measurements?). </div>

I was having issues with my serger. I re-threaded it about 4 times, adjusted tensions and was about to shove it off the table. Then I noticed one of the spools, I had put on a cap. this stupid sucker was the culprit. so upon removal of that, it stitched like a dream!</div>

I am so happy with the fit of these. The fabric is a bit light, but they are comfortable, not threadbare and have enough stretch/give to move around in them. I think they would be great for yoga, pilates, maybe sweat would show running/etc. I will test!</div>

So on my race agenda is Bloomsday, Yellowstone half, a 9 mile trail run at 6500--8500 feet, Missoula half, a Ragnar relay and possibly another fall full? If not a full then another half. </div>

These wonky blocks are a great way to use scraps, but they are so random, I wasn't sure if I could do it. I cut out my center pieces and then began randomly sewing the "straws" (that is apparently what they call the skinny strips) around the centers and then you square up the block to whatever size you wish. I decided 6.5" since that is the template I have. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am loving these!! Even though it is random, which I don't normally like, these are fun. And I am going to do a border around each block that will add some uniform and cohesiveness to the project. I am glad I stepped outside of my comfort level with these. Plus it is a great way to use scraps of my favorite fabrics.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now onto wonky training... I am not currently in training (about ten days until it starts). I have, however been trying to do cardio and strength at least five days per week. It has been going well. I also am stepping outside of my comfort zone with offering a group class each week. Last week only one person showed, but it was a blast! we did a killer circuit and three days later my lats still feel it! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think it is important to try new things, get a bit uncomfortable. You may discover/unlock some new potential!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is a very talented sewist (? i never know the term to use!!) and i am so glad she was featured on the Coletterie blog today! i am now following her on Twitter and her blog. I am intrigued to sew my own workout articles... i have made a hot yoga ensemble, but never something for running.</span><br />

We left Montana in the middle of a snow storm, and missed all sorts of horrible weather. Phew! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While Montana was having arctic cold temps, and receiving feet of snow, we were having fun frolicking in the ocean, watching sun sets, eating delicious fish, poke, pineapple, enjoying fruity cocktails, admiring phenomenal scenery. Our friends from Helena, Mike and Erin were also in Oahu, staying about 20 minutes away from our resort. It was so fun to have them there. They are surrogate family members.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We saw a lot and did a lot on this trip. I also only missed one day of working out and ran some of my fastest miles. We are pretty fortunate that we all get along the way we do, and can embark on these travels. jaclyn and i created a hashtag for instagram for our trips: #teamrehmerhowardtravels hopefully there will be more of these! :)</span></div>

We have been doing obedience sessions in there, playing fetch, hide and seek, etc. It is way too cold for them to be outside for more than several minutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that the studio is complete, i have jumped back on the training wagon and it feels GREAT! I am a bit sore today, but in a good way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, I am looking forward to making a few items to wear on our trip to hawaii. I made a cute swimsuit so far, and beach cover up, and need to finish a cover up for sister in law... but I want to make some skirts and/or dresses. I hate shorts so probably will skip those. Any recommendations on tutorials online?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">well off to work. It is crazy that I simply sprint across the yard!! :) In these temps, i am quite thankful i don't have to get in a frozen vehicle!</span><br />

Studio completed!! <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been working out of a less than 400 square foot studio for just over ten years. I would move the massage table, then roll in the reformer or bring out the free weights, etc. Part of the deal with moving was that I would get a new studio. So this summer, we moved from out of town, to the edge of town and to a house that had a giant shop in the back. My husband has been working just about every spare minute since mid October to have this completed by the end of January. We couldn't have done it without our dear friend, Mike, and my father in law, Larry and several other favors called in. Walking around the studio, taking these photos this afternoon was surreal. I still feel as though I have to go to that tiny studio... but I DON'T!!! :) I have felt so lucky to be able to do something I love and make a decent living at it, especially in our small community. Now to have the work space of my dreams is amazing. Not gonna lie, I cried. Even as I type, a lump is right there. I don't want to be the girl crying during the superbowl, so here are some pics!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This new space is almost four times the size of my old studio. I have the dedicated massage room, full bathroom with a shower, plus a separate entrance from house side of yard with a private hallway and utility room with washer/dryer/dog washing station. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so excited for the climbing wall--it was fun to knock the dust of my climbing shoes and goof off. My husband constructed the doors himself. He used re-claimed corrugated metal from an old lumber mill that he also used on lower part of wall and at the exterior entry. The flooring is cork and it is warm and feels great to walk/jump around on it. We kept one of the garage doors and in the warmer weather it can be opened. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that this is completed, I am excited to get back to hitting the gym hard, especially since we are heading to Hawaii... After tonight's superbowl (go broncos!) I will hit the treadmill and do some #NTC! :) Can't wait!</span><br />

I did a random free motion style quilting, but not in the traditional stippling fashion. I was less concerned because I simply quilted the top to the batting and then am attaching minky for the back. Minky is difficult (for me anyway) to quilt. With the dots, or lines it seems to catch and/or not move as smoothly and this can result in uneven quilting. Also, since it is for a baby, I figured the main goal was to adhere the top, less concerned with the actual design. </span><br />

I have been having a great holiday. The weekend before Christmas Sunny and I went to Big Sky for the second annual Tony Horton Weekend. It was a blast. I loved the workouts and it snowed the entire time we were up there. If you have been following along, you know I was shocked last year to discover I loved Tony. He has a great philosophy and is very approachable and inclusive to everyone. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had only done one P90X workout with Sunny before we went to this event last year, and I haven't done any since, however I think I am going to invest in P90X3. This weekends workouts were great. It incorporated yoga, pilates, martial arts, balance, range of motion, endurance, flexibility, strength, isometrics. It was fantastic! We are already looking forward to next year!</span></div>

The past few years I have been go-go-go and I wanted to get back to the basics, heal (shin still bugs me once in a while) and have the room to try new things and get back at things that were put on the back burner during all the marathon training (Ethyl [name of my mtn bike], i hope you still love me). I am, however, scheduled to run the Yellowstone Half Marathon in June, and I signed up for the RRCA running coach certification course in May. I have been wanting to take this course for years but the ones near me filled very quickly. I will also be running Bloomsday again! woohoo!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My family is supposed to come out for the Missoula half in July, and that would be GREAT! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is on your agenda? Big plans? PR's? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year has been a whirlwind of changes with the new house, building new studio (almost done) that I wanted to take a year to slow it down and then get back at it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To end off 2013 I am going back to Big Sky for the Tony Horton weekend, with Sunny. I am very excited for the getaway! </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919549055396164361.post-20379795526432323272013-12-06T17:46:00.000-07:002013-12-06T17:46:04.975-07:00New FuelBand!!!<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so ecstatic to be the recipient of a new Fuelband! The NikeFuel team sent it to me--even my fave color--electric green. It is charging and I can't wait to get back to making "goal"!!! :) My old fuelband died while in San Fran so it has been a while since I have worn one and I am glad to be back in the game.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, last night was Quilt Guild and Sunny and I are co-chairing the publicity chair for the quilt show. We really have no idea what that even means/entails but we figured together we can do it. At quilter's guild everyone must wear a name tag so i made one:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wish I placed my letters better so my "e" was not overtaken by the blue spiral. I did it on the machine freehand, and it turned out better than i was expecting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back to the fuelband. I heard it was more challenging now to reach goal? Is that true?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A SUPER HUGE THANK YOU to the Nike Fuel Team--so happy to be a part of this family!! :) </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919549055396164361.post-42249654803746092142013-12-05T21:32:00.000-07:002013-12-05T21:32:32.005-07:00i think i should write a book...<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Actually, I think I should write two books. one book about fitness/wellness/etc. I would like to call it (now please don't be offended), "Moderfuckingration". This is one is in the works already. The other day, however, I heard one of the most oxy-moronic (is that a word? eh, I am good at making this sh*t up apparently!) things. There was a ton of traffic on our street, which is only two blocks long and only a few residences. I walked outside to see what the dogs were freaking out about and a lady was parking in my drive way and she began walking across the street. After convincing her (and yes, i had to convince her) that she couldn't park behind MY vehicle in MY driveway to go to a different house's yard sale. I called my husband to tell him about it and he says, "oh yeah. The ESTATE SALE AT THE DOUBLE WIDE." if you don't find the humor/audacity in this quote, then I do not recommend you read the book, or probably either book. I was cracking up and running for pencil and paper. This was precious to me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back to the first book: I am a personal trainer, pilates instructor and massage therapist and I have heard some of the most asinine excuses from people. Rubbish. I am working on a book that is readable, doable and about making appropriate life changes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second book I would like to be an entertaining book of anecdotes. I have had some random, hilarious events in my years and several friends have mentioned that if they weren't present, they wouldn't believe me and I should be working on a book. I live in a funky, artsy, western, financially diverse town where they have estate sales at double wides. I can't make this up people! And I feel as though it should be documented!! </span><br />

We had company for the long weekend and had a fabulous thanksgiving dinner, then a festive fondue birthday party for my mother in law. To stay on a somewhat healthy track I made sure to get in at least a few miles running and to do NTC. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Colleen's bday party!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been trying to <i><u><b>make the time for exercise--not trying to find it</b></u></i>. I have been putting it in my planner, just like I schedule my clients. I need it during this time of year more for piece of mind, than to stave off calories. Today it is a balmy 0 with the windchill making it feel sub 20... i will be hitting the treadmill and doing NTC. If you have yet to download this FREE App--you must get on it! You need minimal to no equiptment and minimal space. For me, it is great to not have to "think" i simply do what they say and keep moving. </span><br />

Skirts by Francesca Denhartog and Carole Ann Camp for a few years. I made a straight skirt pattern a few years back and have done several variations. Today, the one I made, I think is my favorite.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know, i should have cleaned off the mirror. I was running out of time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is an Amy Butler velvet and I wanted to use it for a skirt to wear during the holidays. I am so proud because it has a GREAT invisible zipper. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I altered the pattern to have a back zipper instead of side. I also made the facing for the waist, and added darts for fitting purposes. I used the serger for the side seams and used a fun, decorative stitch for the hem. Next up is a blouse from the BurdaStyle magazine. I have the charcoal gray silk ready to go... I just need to find the strength/bravery/confidence to cut into it!!!!</span></div>
