Walking to Chattanooga, TN

My friend Tammy in Canada loves the New York Yankees. To help motivate her to walk/run, exercise she figured how far it is from her house to Yankee Stadium. She is keeping track of this to see how long it would take her to get there.

Well I am going to try something like that. My family is taking a RV vacation to Chatttanooga, TN this summer. I want to see if I can get there before I actually get there. I will be counting walks/jogs, elipical, recumberant bike, etc. I will keep adding up all the miles and see if I can do it. It is 474 miles from my house to Chattanooga so let see if you can help route me on.

I actually started today.

10/9/07 - 1.5 miles on elipical and 1.25 miles walking for total of 2.75 miles.

10/10/07 - 1.5 miles on elipical and 1.5 miles walking for total of 3 miles today.

10/11/07 - 2.25 miles on elipical and 2 miles walking/jogging for total of 4.25 miles today.

10/12/07 - 3.25 miles on the elipical and 2.25 miles walking for total of 5.5 miles today.

10/13/07 - 3 miles walking

10/17/07 - 3 miles walking

Total for the week: 21.5 miles

Love 10-5-07

Here is the full size picture then the close up to show the colors better. I am using VC silks in Dragon's Hoard, Pansy, and Emerald Isle. It is stitching up pretty quickly

Banana Bread

So how do you spend your Sundays? Well today mine is being spent making banana bread. I'm not just talking about a loaf. I already have 8 loave in the oven and more to make. Why do you ask? Well I bought 60 bananas for the JV football team on Wed. for their dinner on Thurs. Made 90 sandwiches and bought chips. Only to have it pour and the game to be cancelled. I took apart the sandwiches to save the meat and cheese to remake them on Monday (when the game was rescheduled for) but the bananas were ripe and wouldn't make it until Monday so I had to buy 60 new ones and now have all these very ripe ones to use so hence the banana bread.

9-21-07 Love Update

Here is what I have done for the week. I finished the oval border (Felt wonderful when it matched up with no problems) and worked on the green portion of the border. Cross Stitch Crazy had a stitch a thon last week so it really helped me with getting some done.

Love with Capital L

I have picked up Love w/Capital L by Papillon Creations. I am using Vikki Clayton Silks. Dragon's Hoard is for the L and then the inside words. Pansy & Isle Green are for the border.

The 1st picture is from 9-7 and shows a close up of the colors. The 2nd picture is from today. I have worked on the border this week.

Cirque is Finished

I have finally finished Cirque de Cercles by Ink Circles. I worked on this for approx. 6 month. I used 28 ct. Navy Jobelean and Vikki Clayton's Amethyst silk. This was stitched 1 strand of premium over 2. I love this piece and can not wait for the companion piece to be released

Cirque

Finally have finished page 5 so thought I would post an update. I am not on the homestretch and would love to have this finished in Sept. at the latest.
