Vegie patch - update

Just an up date on the vegie patch. It's really coming into its' full glory. The blood plums are rippening and the zucchini and capsicum are all starting to be ready to be picked.The tomatoes have a little way to go but we are getting there.

The wildlife love the fruit and vegies so we have netted the fruit trees so to have some fruit left to eat.

Here are pictures, I hope you enjoy them. Will keep you posted.

Once a upon a time - weight loss - getting the job done

Off to the gym again and this time with a renewed interest. The festive session is over and the great tasting food, that I shouldn't eat is behind me. The festive session is not for another 12 months that should give me plenty of time to get the job done. It's time to lose this weight. I'm already on my way with thinner shoulders, probably thanks to the equipment at the gym and my legs have lost the heaviness.

So overall I am pleased but not satisfied with my weight and I think that is what is helping me to continue. I'm looking better but I'm just not there jet.

My plan is to get into a routine so to start having a pattern of exercise and hopefully I can work out how much exercise against how much food to decrease the kilos.

I'm going back to my small plate theory and hopefully that will help too. I have been able to increase the exercise and duration and I hope that will counter act the food intake.

I always thought losing weight was pretty easy but I'm now finding it is harder then you think and you really have to make a life change and get you mind in the right place to make it successful. Some people talk about losing weight, some people even give it a go, but it's the ones who want to do it for life that get the results kept the weight off. I hopefully will be one who changes my life. Will keep you posted.

Back to the gym

Well, The festive season is over and all the tasty treats are gone. And now I have to get back on to the horse. The trainer has given me some great tips, not that they were any big eye opener. Eat better, less sugary treats, (really, lol,) and keep up the gym work. Now having said that he has help the back quite a bit with exercises I would not have done by myself. So, he has been a big help. The lower back seems to be stronger and the pain has decreased. Having said that, I'm touching the wooden desk for good luck and hope it's not the calm before the storm.

The body is getting to it's former glory and hopefully will get to be trim and fabulous. The arms have trimmed up, the legs look thinner, I have even lost weight on my shoulders, but it's that mid area that's always a problem and the hardest to get rid of. But I will persist and I now have another person I have to justify myself to and hopefully he will keep me motivated to reach my goals. Will keep you posted.

Apron mini - 'Nature'

Aboriginal Designs have always fascinated me with its' beautiful blend of natural colours of yellow, reds, blues and browns. The dot painting and how it represents a landscape or feeling and how these colours come together. Here is my latest Apron mini called 'Nature.' which I have just listed on etsy. I hope you like the colours and combination of shapes.

Once a upon a time - weight loss -personnal trainer

Session 2. The personnal trainer has now given me some goals and the comfort of speaking to someone really makes me feel like there is more then just a plan for a better and stronger body and better and stronger mind.

I think the key here is finding someone you can feel comfortable with. However he did go through the not to have to much sugary treats and as Birthdays are coming thick and fast it will be a challenge.

Having said that I spent alittle more time on the X-trainer this morning and hope to get in alittle gym work done before I start my sessions. Will keep you posted.

Apron mini Earth, Sand and Sea - An Aboriginal design

I have just listed a new apron mini. This striking blue background with its Aboriginal prints makes quite the statement. I love this material and I think it really shows off the beautiful colours of this country Australia. I hope you like it too.

CHEF STYLE HALF APRON 'red with floral design'

I have been busy creating another chef style full length apron. I do love these aprons as they do suit most people. I love the floral design on this one as it flows through the material. Here is the background story. I hope you enjoy this one.

Background Story.
This striking material was bought to make an apron as a gift for a relative and I loved it so much I thought it would be great to make one for the etsy community as well. This relative loves the colour red and with its floral pattern it was the perfect choice. I love the floral design and the way it sways through the material and tomato colour red.
