Life in Mono...

This March on Project 365...

Restart Again.

I went for my JC consult today and came back shaken. I went up. I am not going to dwell on it. My JC Consultant Meagan, was really really nice about it too. She was calm and she made me think. She showed me my charts from before and was telling me that I can do it. I did it once and now have to find the way back to the light.

Ok. I know there is hope because I have done it before. Now I am sitting here thinking how did I do it last time. What changed and then changed back? Consultant Meagan (CM) also told me that I have to recall or revert back to those good habits.

I realise that one habit that I made before was journalling about it from time to time, be truthful to myself and accounting for the "cheats" that I made or did.

I am taking this positively. This time, I have a real goal to acheive...To fit into a size 12 dress for my wedding reception back home and Nepal at the end of the year. So I have approximately 9 months to do it.

So as they say...Calm down, and {press restart button} . HERE WE GO. AGAIN.

Ode to my pumpkin...

My pumpkin plant only manage to churn out ONE pumpkin. I harvested it today and I am going to make soup with it. Yum yum.... I must find out how to make it fruit more regularly. It had loads of flowers but non of them manage to fruit.

Alfajores...

Isn't this the most decadent thing you have ever seen? Nana came back from her 3 months backpacking trip in South America and she brought back gifts in the form of Havaianas and Alfajores. Yum Yum. Better not let my JC consultant know that I ate these. Mmmmm

I did it!!!!

I did it. I made myself a dress!!! It took me the whole afternoon but I did it. I made it from a Kwik Sew pattern that I bought yesterday. It's a little bit too big for me because I used the L size pattern. I think next week, I will use the M size pattern. I am so happy!!

I was so in the zone today that I hemmed 2 skirts that I found at the op shop and also made a small cosmetic bag.

Last 4 days...

A little smile...

I have been working on a pattern for the perfect pouch the whole day today. Taking a break I looked to the right of the room and saw how perfect the light was hitting my dried wedding bouquet. It made me smile.

Ok back to the drawing board.
