More projects...

Started this in November. Just getting time to post it ... It's been a busy school year. 

So as the summer came to an end...the busy school year has began!  Which means all the projects I started were put on the back burner and new ones were added.  Workouts barely happened once a week.   

Now that the year is in full swing my life is getting back on track.  I have completed two projects.  One being a new entertainment center.   

My new entertainment center (open) 

(Closed) 

This looked like this before

It had a broken door and was to light of a stain.  

After this project was finished I was able to continue working on my race shirt quilt. 

This is pre-ironed and backed squares. 

This is ironed and sown together squares.  

It's starting to come together. (Still a work in progress) 

While a being busy with these projects and school aka teaching.  I also was kinda training for a 1/2 marathon.  I say kinda training because I was barely training two days a week for this race.  Which turned out to be one of my best races so far.  

Pre-race outfit.  Had to stay warm while we waited two hours to race.  

Photo of my friends and I running through  Philly.  

My finisher photos.  

Felt great after the race even had time to get a massage, while I waited for my friends to finish the marathon. Benefits of running the 1/2.  😀

Overall, it has been a busy beginning of the year and now it's time to get ready for the holidays.  Looking forward to getting into the Christmas spirit by doing some holiday lights runs and other merry events with friends!  

New post to come with two new projects and the beginning stage of Tri training. 

Summer Projects

Summer is my time to do things I don't have time for during the school year.  This summer I have made curtains for my bedroom, my parents made a mirror for my bedroom and I hung decorative pieces in my bathrooms.  

I have to admit most of my project ideas came from Pinterest, but I put my own spin on them.  😀  

Here are some pictures: 

These are my new towel holders in my bathrooms.  I love them and it was easy to do.  

These are my new curtains. Just sewed ribbon along the bottom (thanks mom) my mom sewed the ribbon onto plain curtains.  

And the mirror my parents made me.  

I also found I like my new art work in my spare bedroom.  What do you think? 

My next project is to take my racing shirts and make them into a quilt for my spare bedroom. Hope it looks the way I want it too.  I will post the progress...

Blogging... Is it for me?

Blogging is new to me. I have written two blogs for one of my friends and my first marathon.  It was fun. 

So here I am starting my own blog.  Where I will be posting about my interests: exercise, racing, food, teacher Stuff (Like cute things that work in my classroom) and other fun stuff! 

We shall see if blogging is for me.
