How I did it: I finally just took them up again and finished them off. It was easy once I re-started working on them. They look really nice and have even gotten a good review from somebody on Ravelry. I will try not to let this kind of thing happen again with another project. I still have the Bohus sweater to do which is another long, long unfinished object. I hope I will be disciplined enough to take that up this fall.. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Now that I'm back in my summer home I was able to finish up putting in my books. I couldn't get them all in because I have several old ones that Ravelry don't list. I just left them out rather than bother with the whole search on Amazon.....not worth the time. I also went through my closet looking for older projects to add and only decided on a few. Another thing I just left out were all the socks, mittens, hats, etc that I made before I … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I have found that my electric frying pan with a cover is one of the best appliances I own. I use it constantly now and can cook a huge variety of things in it. I even did rice with this appliance. Second most important is the microwave. I figured out amounts of rice + water and pasta + water in order to be able to make both of those things not on the stovetop.

Haven’t weighed in in a week or so, but last time the trend was still downwards. More people made comments last week insisting that I have lost weight.
But not according to my doctor. She also measured my height as one inch less than last year. Maybe it is. I got a lecture about exercising, but I am walking more than ever lately.
Over the weekend I went through all the files in my little cabinets. I tossed out tons and tons of stuff and the rest is now neatly arranged with new hanging files and pretty colored folders.
I also went through the closets AGAIN and sent a pile of clothes to charity.
I still plan to paint the hallway and a couple of small bookshelves, but those can wait.
Bedroom .. done ,,paint, window treatments, new bedding. I’m very pleased because it’s cozy now.
