WiP/FMC - Shiny

Happy Leap Year Day!

{As a total aside, I noticed I'm two followers short of 50. Hitting 50 followers on my favorite not-really-a-holiday would probably make me want to do a giveaway. Just saying.}

There wasn't a whole lot of sewing this week. There was a whole lot of running. Followed by a whole lot of icing. Not sugar icing, unfortunately.
{I'm the one in the red skirt. Which, those are from Team Sparkle. Which, there were a LOT of sparkle skirts and tutus out there. Purple is my friend Lori; pink is my sister, who's 30th birthday was the day after the race; and blue is my sister's friend.}
See where I'm touching my right leg in this picture at Mile 12? I discovered my IT band! By the finish line, I was limping. Now I have a freezer pack taped to my thigh.
 But I also have a big shiny medal.
And I'm delusional enough that I think it's going to be fun to do Disneyland's half this year, too.

Fifteen Minute Challenge - not Sew Starry! Sew Starry is done!
Instead, I worked on my mini-quilt challenge. Pieced the first six blocks into rows on Wednesday; worked on blocks 7-11 on Thursday, Friday, and Tuesday; tried my hand at embroidery on the plane on Saturday; ran a half-marathon on Sunday; and picked out my hand embroidery on Monday. {It sucked. A lot.}


Quilt-Alongs: 
Fat Quarter Stars - 6/10 blocks - need more background fabric
{Road to Oklahoma - Star of Friendship - Clay's Choice}
LQS Saturday Sampler 2012 - 6/36 - my points are not the greatest on this set. Ugh.
Quiltville Orca Bay {Skorca!} - okay, this is only two more blue blocks since Monday...
Swoon A Little, Swoon A Lot - no new block this week

    1. Make sure you're doing strength training then! Lots of squats and lunges!

  4. OK, so I don't want to know what an IT band is, I see. ;D I've been having trouble with my points, too, on the latest project. Driving me nuts because this is not usually any issue - wondering if it's me or the pattern.

  5. Running is excerise. I dont do excersize. But I think it's fantastic that you do.(especially in sparkly skirts ) Hope that leg recovers soon.

    Sew Starry is utterly gorgeous and it looks like you have a ton of other loveliness on the go too!
