That's right. It is another Monday. What will it be like? What happens when our Monday's become good and not the stereotypical Monday? Will we have to start calling it by another name? See what happens when I get more than 4 hours of sleep at a time? My brain kicks in earlier than normal and activates my mouth and fingers before I realize what I am thinking and tying. LOL. Either way I hop you have a good day. What are on your plans, besides working?
I think that I will be working on redwork today. I only have 2 needles threaded so first thing will be to thread around 9 more. The advantage of doing the redwork is that I have two projects currently calling for the red DMC floss. I can double up on how many needles I thread at once and use it for both projects. The first project I'm working on is the next Words of Wisdom block. It is Thankful. Here is my progress pix of it so far.
I think that the redwork makes it come to life. :) After that I have my baby dragon block to do. After the redwork, comes blackwork. The blackwork is actually continuing on with my Fleur blocks. That is slow progress but at least I can say it is progress. A stitch at a time will get it done eventually. Don't hold your breath on a date for finishing it.
When I need a break from that, I will start to look for a pattern for my July block exchange. I'm not sure how much longer they will do the exchanges. It seems each month we have fewer and fewer people signing up for it. Since it is the July block, I want to do something with a patriotic theme to it. Of course I have my usual eagle I can do but I might change it up this time and do something else. I have time to start to look. That's about it on my plans for crafting this week.
I am still trying to figure out what I can and cannot eat with diabetes. It has been interesting to see how bad some things are for you. Then there is the whole how much can you have and still eat without feeling deprived etc. Yesterday Shalom took me out to eat after our SCA meeting and I was happy to see that my sugar levels weren't too bad this morning. It is a fine balancing act sometimes to try and figure out how much of sodium is too much and how much sugar can I have or fat etc. I am trying NOT to buy specialty foods. They are out of my budget. My lunches are usually my big salad meal. It seems to work nice with summer. Not sure if I will want the same in winter months but for now it is good. Pantry gave me two bags of apples this month. It will take forever to use them up. I might make some applesauce but then I'll have to figure out how much I can have without spiking my sugar. My old recipe would spike it for sure. I cut one up the other day and had it with my oatmeal. The sugar free syrup was good over it all tasted good. I can see that I'm going to be using the sugar free syrup more and more on various things.
That is about it in my neck of the woods for now. I hope you have a wonderful day and remember to take time to enjoy life. Love ya all.

Bonni your Redwork is coming along nicely. I have still yet to my Fleur out so you are further than I am. See your day is already looking up! Can't wait to see what you decide for your July swap.
I wish you the best with figuring out the food situation with your Diabetes. I know it took Rick awhile to figure it out. I'll see if I can pick his brain about the applesauce he makes one that doesn't effect his sugar levels. Take care talk soon.
I would appreciate it my friend. It is coming long. I go back to see my doctor 20th (regular dr) and the on the 18th I go to a noninvasive cardiologist that the wound dr. wants me to see. Just some tests and then we'll see what he says.
