The Crafting...and the dieting

sooooo.....let's see...what have i been up to....first let's see ...the new stuff on my Etsy page, shall we......
I listed a few Hamster family members.....


I also listed a new mouse, and a monster!




  so in other news....eh, well a couple years ago I lost some weight and felt so much better, but ever slowly and persistently I have gained a lot...SO, I decided (pretty much since only I read this) I am going to start writing about my diet/exercise along with my crafting. woo hoo?...yes come one...woo hoo!! oh btw.. i am not getting on the scale...I realize I should, but I am not. I am going to go by "clothes fitting"...at least for a while...
so here goes
DAY ONE
4:45am:
coffee
sugar cremora
5:25 am
ran 20 mins on elliptical

9:30 am
i can tuna
some wasabi peas, 
approx 1/2 thing non fat cottage cheese

2pm
chicken
spinach and
broccoli

5pm more of the chicken/veg mixture

6pm ran 1 hour on elliptical (which was really tough)

 my main goals are
exercise of some sort every day
drink only on my weekends (Thursday night and Friday night)
avoid bread, cookies, candy ect.  and to blog about it so that I feel accountable!
SO wish me luck! Have any diet tips?
so with that, I need to shower...and am, as always, closer to the edge...

Soooo....hmmm haven't posted in awhile...kinda reached a saturation point in my thrill for building the Hamshire... I have no idea why, I think I want to move it outside to take photos, but the weather has not really been cooperating. Meanwhile, I got a LOT of new wool (3lbs all together) so i will be making more needle felted creatures, and maybe some polymer clays ones... i'm not sure... the newest little guys I have made are 2 Castiel Mice,  (Castiel, the Angel from Supernatural...ya know......) here is a photo

First is Cas with wings...




And this Cas has a pie...



the other thing I have been doing is addeing little ACEOs or ATCs to a few of my ETSY listings, I really enjoy making them!!...I describe them as....

ACEO...Art Cards, Editions and Originals, or ATC...Artist's Trading Cards are
wonderful little 2.5" x3.5" works of art
that can be collected or given as a thoughtful little gift.
initialed on the front and signed and dated on the back

soooo, here is a few photos!!!
CUPCAKE KITTEN!

ELINOR!
ELAINE"S FARM!


FLOATSY

PIZZA MOUSE!

COOKIE MOUSE!
And that is what I have been up to!!!
Hopefully I will be back to finishing the Hamshire soon!!! until then as everrrrr I am, Closer to the Edge!!
