Donkey kicking a habit....


You guys are so clever!  The theme is indeed diet-related.  

After feeling better following therapy, meds, and some life changes, I started getting angry at all the little "comfort foods" that have been a crutch for me all my life, but especially since my parents passed away.  

Losing three parents in less than a year, two abruptly, requires a little comforting.

The offending little "friends" seemed so nice and loving until denial stopped hiding all the pounds that were piling on.


My therapist suggested some art therapy around my anger and I started plotting painful ways to get rid of the nagging, conniving, delicious little devils.

Don't get mad, get even...right?


Oh, a cupcake every now and then is fine...eating them by the half or whole dozen, not so much, LOL.

Just wait until you see what I am killing off next!

In stitches,
Teresa   :o)

My new project..."QUEEN MARY'S GARDEN © 2018"

Image
Mary, Queen of Scots was born in Scotland on December 8, 1542.  Her parents were King James V of Scotland and the King's second wife (from France), Marie of Guise.   She is pictured above at age seven. Of all six of his children, Mary was the only child to outlive him who was legitimate of birth. At the age of six-days-old, Mary's father, the King, died.  As he had been on his death bed at the time of her birth, he never even saw his new daughter.  Nevertheless, at six days of age, Mary became the Queen of Scotland and the newest ruler from the House of Stuart.   A Reagent would rule in her place until she was older. Mary was sent to school in France, where she was taught many things including embroidery and other textile arts.  She loved needlework and had quite a talent for the beautiful variety of complicated and expressive stitches.   She was a lifelong fan of embroidery and would come to lean on her artistic abilities through her life as ...

The 2018 Houston International Quilt Festival - Part Four

Hi there!  This post of quilts will be the last of the Houston Quilt Show pictures.  They were not in the contest this year, but were parts of several exhibits, of which I missed about 95%. (Sorry, no label for this fabulous quilt...) \ Well, I think that is all of them.  This last post was a little crazy, but so was I as I was tiring and stumbling around, LOL!  It's been fun for me...I really take advantage of all the pictures to really study the quilts at my own pace.  It's too hard to do that during the show sometimes. In stitches, Teresa   :o)

The big reveal!

Image
Yippee, I think I am finally comfortable in the quilt cave!  It's all clean, shiny, and ready to drag all kinds of stuff out to play and make a mess!  It was a good time for pictures before I destroyed it, LOL! It's still sort of a stained glass studio.  My cutting station is over the glass work table, there is glass equipment stuff behind the shelves at the end of the room, and all the larger pieces of glass are in their rolling wooden containers under where I rotary cut. The wooden door connects my room to the walkout family room, the metal door goes outside.  I have to close the wooden door to get to my "desk" to pick bits for applique or dig through patterns in my filing cabinets.  Having the door closed makes it harder to find me, hee hee. The lighting was designed for doing stained glass, so the room is definitely bright enough.  I can open the blinds to a big picture window to let in natural light.  That softens things a bit. I did buy the black...
