Well this morning I was hanging up some clothes and I noticed I finally did it. I didn’t add a bunch of prints really only a few. I actually found I am not really into prints. But I have added some color to the mix. My wardrobe has mostly become an athleisure work from home sort of mix. But I now have sweaters and sweatshirts in a variety of colors most of these are solids no words even but I did mix it up. If I had taken a closet picture from those days it would have been 90% black and gray and now it’s like a rainbow.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01596082037790329673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26809668.post-33528200072773031372023-08-03T22:12:00.001-04:002023-08-03T22:12:54.071-04:00July Miles<img id="id_b1bd_c357_ea02_bd67" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/drive-viewer/AITFw-wCFQPDgMktFnN5BG-FuL3a-nDjMH7ptTybvKztUiQTMv2CzcxR10HumhaJCaC1OXA3Ihl6yRktBll5lDlQ99NMJAez" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br>July I had 111.65 miles. A few football moms and I started walking at least a mile during every practice which has really helped bring the number up. Even on days when we are like it’s soooo hot we try to at least make two “laps”. We talk about life and walk and sweat and just enjoy being in each others company. This brings my total up to 677.05. <div>Photo is unrelated but from the other night where I took the kids and we ran thru the sprinklers. </div>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01596082037790329673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26809668.post-3925605086606878762023-07-13T18:38:00.000-04:002023-07-13T18:38:00.169-04:00June Miles <img id="id_9ca7_4ac6_f8a9_68ab" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/drive-viewer/AITFw-wsPu88QqHzBpNlTmL7-Fw7Uc2pUlYaAG6uqBl8xB0-YhWxkLmtdRUV5sMBQNe_zQ9bzxK6sBjuhhlUhtZS6k5jXvlq3Q" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br>In June I hit 100.39 miles.

Months ago thea heard on the radio about this magical time called “ladies night” at some bar where they have like $2 drink specials for all the ladies and she was like “mom we need to get all the ladies, get dressed up and go to ladies night.” She wrote it on her bucket list and tonight was the night. The girls got dressed up and they did their makeup. I couldn’t recall the bar in question so we took them to Ainsley’s Cafe hoping we could sit on the water sadly it was raining but the “ladies” didn’t seem to notice. thea insisted on steak which of course was like a 24 oz steak so she shared this with her friend and they still didn’t finish it. Also thanks to my friend Sarah for coming with me so I didn’t have to make conversation with 7 year olds the entire time.

Year that’s right I have had years where I finished 10 quilts but 22 was a big dry spell for me. I did work on various projects but nothing was finished. This one I started and finished in a month it’s a baby quilt for my friends baby. It’s bigger than it looks, as it’s almost official crib size. I love the amount of stripes in this one. I keep buying striped fabric and I especially love red/white stripes. The quilting is entirely freehand I wrote the babies name, mom, dad, love Katie, 2023, and more in the quilting although it’s hard to just identify. It crinkled up so nice in the wash. I did add a homemade tag where it says the babies last name on the front and <3 Katie on the back. <div><img id="id_2a8f_f88c_9e12_d692" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/drive-viewer/AFGJ81rEzsh5Nto4m3RPf7joGdkI1KdC1T3VaRTM5srRJOJbnpWW1-orsLu-68pXJ-ViaZ-i3hyHdP93wFaAd61rINyGNLr8rQ" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_c5d7_d2c1_bbc_884c" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/drive-viewer/AFGJ81owOqMMQoktjwVxKp-aEyCivE3L8XvCrtmy6JmhrvSB3GCwWHylBSt2-0lDDaQQ3rqF6AUYvY1xk43DicwCvxY6p8oR9g" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_c43d_a035_3e3e_f381" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/drive-viewer/AFGJ81quPkxNh7g5gQslxUdv9xUpidCmriZy3_nTNyKXpkK_BZEbRqg4Q1fqnJ-EY1se2YSOADiYlff0VQ52Q-_6rZ9RDcK9NQ" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br></div>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01596082037790329673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26809668.post-45115518151441090482023-04-17T14:56:00.001-04:002023-04-17T14:56:52.313-04:0046 - move raspberries<img id="id_c8f0_6246_6381_a05a" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/drive-viewer/AAOQEOTIzwtxpqr5KSNDJH9y0jD-XNluQ-2Cu53hr9YJta2VU6DksQWBbOHmK3uvpytYXFToEvVmFMZ3K3pv68hjrKJAr9rNIQ" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br>For the record I moved the raspberry bushes the other day.

Over the winter they had really developed a good root base so I probably should have moved them back in the fall.

I used a recipe from here <a href="https://pin.it/7ftQgqR">https://pin.it/7ftQgqR</a><div>I used extra chicken broth because I let it cook down a bit and seemed to need more liquid.

Despite having 4 of the biggest mileage days in November I hit 102.66 which doesn’t come close to Aprils numbers. But it does keep me on track to make 1200 in December with 1100.46 at the end of November. <div>(Photo completely unrelated from voting back in November). </div>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01596082037790329673noreply@blogger.com0
