Five Baht Elephant

In Review: November

December 1, 2011

Wow. I can’t believe that tomorrow is December 1st.  November was an awesome month, even if it did go by quickly.

Update on my goals….

Yoga.  Unfortunately, I only made it to one yoga class.  Hey, I ended up traveling and then Thanksgiving.  No excuse, right? 

Running. Um, yeah.  Didn’t kick this one into gear until the 21st.  So hard to get motivated when the weather is inbetween.  I hate overheating during runs. I have some really great cold weather clothing, but nothing for the inbetween.  Since I’m only running around 3 miles at a time, I’m suffering through any bouts of overheating.  But I don’t like it.  I should get a pair of capri running tights.  Like these over at Lululemon. *sigh* I love that store. I keep telling myself that I’ll buy more clothes from there when I get skinnier.  Been saying that for a year now.  Moving right along….

Eating clean.  Clean!  I’m committed, much more than before when I was marathon training.  Lots of fresh fruit and salads.  Good quality lean meats.  Not a lot of grains.  Not a lot of sugar. 

Work.  Is just that. Work.  We’re super busy right up through February.  I could complain about the workload, but truthfully, I love being busy.

Sewing.  I did not finish (or even start) my pay it forward projects.  But I did get done with these….

  • Bee Blocks
  • Zip Bags
  • Supply Pouch
  • The last photo is just some 1/2 yards I bought.  For what, I’m not exactly sure yet

Wow. It seems like I did so much more this month than that list.  Just a little discouraging, but I learned something with each project.  

I’ve got some ideas in store for December.  A few WIPs that I’m just about to wrap up.  And some other projects that I might just take apart.   A race or two.  Squeeze all that in between work and family.  Wish me luck!

    I’m so glad to see other seamstresses who aren’t afraid to include both quilting and clothing construction among their favorite things to do. I found you at Lily’s! Check me out too!

    Love the orange star!

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
