Pillow Project

I’ve been wanting to make a pillow with my sewing machine for awhile now. I decided today was the day. I got out the sewing machine and all my materials. It actually didn’t take too long to get it all together and before I knew it, I had a pillow down. It’s a little lopsided but I think for my first pillow I did a pretty good job. I want to make another one with piping around the edge but that’s a big more advanced. I need to learn how to cut the material so that it’s a bit more even. I wanted a square but it turned into a bit of a rectangle.

It was cloudy again today so I walked 1.86 miles indoors.

New Bird

The weather changed today and got a little chilly and cloudy. It even rained a few times. While working in the office, I noticed there were a bunch of birds in the tree outside the window. I took a closer look with my camera lens and found they were Cedar Waxwings. I hadn’t seen them for a few years. So I spent some time taking a bunch of pictures of them. Here’s one of the better shots.

Since it was raining I walked inside. I did well! I walked 2.18 miles. I felt good about that.

Outdoor Walk

The weather was really nice today! The temperature got up to 79 degrees! It was a record for DC. So I decided to get outside and walk. I walked 1.40 miles outside. It actually got a little warm towards the end of the walk. I should have kept going to get 2 miles but I was too warm.

Gorgeous Anniversary!

Today is our 3 year anniversary. We went on our first date 13 years ago today and 3 years ago today we got married! It was a gorgeous day today! It got up to 77 degrees and broke a record.

This evening we went out to dinner at Chef Geoff’s. We had our reception there after our wedding. We had a wonderful dinner and a very nice bottle of wine. It was a great day!

I walked 1.01 miles indoors today.

Blue

It was raining today so I didn’t get to walk outside. So I took this picture. I saw a video on YouTube about Instagram and it said that if you give your photos a blue tint they are supposed to get more likes. Not sure about that. But I went ahead and give this photo a blue tint and tagged it blue. It got 24 likes so far. I get a range of likes so I’m not sure it’s more or not.

2.05 miles inside today. I went on an actual walk up and down the stairs. I was tired.
