Ok, so I have a few things to share....first up, another review:
New Look 6729 You can read a full review HERE.I love this top. Seriously....
Ok, so many of you know, that I went through radiation treatments for a few months and I was on quite a few different meds. Well, that medicine put a GOOD chunk of weight on me. I started back working out once I was released from the doctors care, and it started to come off. Well. I could NOT get those LAST 8lbs off...well guess what? They are off now:
I bought these jeans from GAP when I first started gaining weight. They were TIGHT y'all. Look at all that room! GO ME! YES, I am patting myself on the back because I'm VERY proud of me! I have too many clothes to gain weight!!! LOL Now, to tone up and keep it maintained!
On a side note, I don't care HOW much weight I loose...my face will remain the same..my cheeks ain't going NOWHERE! LOL
Another side note, those are my around the house, going to play with the dogs jeans lol, they get worn NO WHERE!!! lol
This is making me happy right now...
Yes, this is just part of my cards that I will give out in Nashville. Last year I had to come home and make more...this year I won't be able to do that! LOL. It is going to be a LONG night. My new best investment for scrapping is my Silhouette. If you don't have one, you are missing out. I LOVE that thing!!! Especially tonight! LOL
Ok, that is IT for me!!! I will see y'all on the flip side!!
Kim if you are reading, my flight arrives at 9:10!!!!
Toodles!!!!!
Congrats on the weight loss. It must have been hard with all that fabulous food you make!

Don't you just love it when clothes feel loose! I meant to tell you that the scientist that worked on the cervical cancer vaccine is busy working on one for women who already have HPV, he says within 5 years it should be good to go. Is he cool or what? Have a safe flight :)

I really love this top on you. Thanks for bringing this pattern to life...I know I have this in my stash somewhere. You do a great job sewing and completing your garments quickly. I think for every 4 garments you complete...I complete one. lol! Congrats on losing the weight. All of your created garments fit you so well. Susan

Pat away! You deserve it. Congrats on the gap in those jeans.
The look is fabulous. And I love the pose. "Cool, Calm and Rockin' It!"

Another great top, Adrienne! I've had my eye on this top for awhile. I had been picturing the long sleeve version but now that I see yours, I think I will make a short sleeve version in a nice springy pink color.
Congratulations for losing the weight. A double bonus on top of being able to kick that cancer to the curb!
Posted by: Bonnie | April 16, 2008 at 07:41 AM
Adrienne, are there enough days in the week for you to wear all those new clothes you make?? Or do you wear them once? j/k!

Good job on both!

Congratulations on the weight loss. I'm still trying to get mine off.
Posted by: Lashell | April 16, 2008 at 10:09 AM
Great top! Congrats on the weight loss too. So funny you would say that about the cheeks - I always had the same problem until about a year ago. I think when you get old (LOL) the cheeks start to go. Check out my blog today -that was six years ago, when I was 30 - I still had the cheeks, but I weighed the same as I do now.
