Noncommittal

Well, my exercise commitment only resulted in a "C" for the week. I think I used up all my resolve while at the dentist's office on Wednesday when I resolved to stay seated through the entire procedure.

This morning I worked on my embroidery, then dutifully did my housework. Then, I decided to do some quilting before heading out to the pool for my lap swim. Then...oh my goodness, look at the time! Not that I was really paying any attention to begin with. And not that I ever had any intention of going to the pool, but there you go. Quilting is more fun than exercise. I finally had to take a break because my wrist was starting to ache. I'm still going to make a quick trip to the grocery store, and so I'll pick it up again when I get back.

As for the quilting, I'm just filling in the open areas with a leafy meander, and a few acorns thrown in.

I got the idea for the acorns from Lori Kennedy at The Inbox Jaunt. I didn't do mine exactly like hers, and my leaves aren't oak leaves. I was showing my practice motif to Mike last night and he said it didn't matter that they weren't oak leaves. Blame him for this inconsistency.
It's going along okay, with only one instance of thread breakage so far.

I started in one of the corners, and I'll just work my way around filling in the spaces around the larger leaves.

It's a simple motif, and I'm always glad when I can actually draw something.

As for exercise, maybe I'll just do a little weight-lifting of my yoga kitty. He weighs all of 11 pounds now. When he's all relaxed in the evening after napping by the fire, I can pick him up and he stretches out to his full length of three miles. Such a funny guy.

And now I'm off to the grocery store. I'm hoping to get the quilting finished when I get back.
