How I did it: I was honest with myself. I needed to get active, but I also knew I wasn't going to run rain or shine, hot or cold...so I joined the community center, because I also knew I'd treat "going to the gym" as more of an appointment then if I got a treadmill...plus the community center membership costs way less than a treadmill suitable for running. Read how I did it…
I’m going back to Costa Rica on Tuesday. This time, I’m going to be spending the entire time in Manuel Antonio/Quepos.I love this country, the size of West Virginia.
Instructables.com is holding a Sew Warm Contest. I entered the scarf that I made out of neckties and backed with fleece material.
My project and the instructions to make your own necktie scarf is available at:
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-Fleece-lined-Scarf-out-of-Neckties/
While you’re checking out my project, please vote for me! My instructable needs to be in the top 10 of user votes by the 13th of March to ensure a spot in the final judging round.
My project is one of 115 entries. Please help me get into the top 10!
The grand prize is a Singer All-in-one sewing/serger/embroidery machine.
