@77tes, 👆 simply gorgeous colors, sewing, and.... everything!!!
@prgirl39mfp, Thank you for you nice comment 🌺.
I am so happy to read that on the days when you are not feeling good that you are calling/reaching out to a friend!
I have the same issues with not wanting to sit too long when I use my desktop for logging and posting. I only have the app on my iPad but have difficulties with posting. I have a timer on the computer desk and I'm doing much better obeying it to actually get up every 15 minutes to do something else so that I don't sit so long.

This June's I will: Tracking my progress of getting to sleep earlier (before midnight, however true success will be lights out between 10:30-11:00 PM for better consistency) each night. I will use 🕙 for lights out by 11 P.M!
By midnight 🛌, after midnight ❌.
For a secondary mini 'I will' I am also tracking when adding in some additional healthy nutrition that I've become lax about over time such as: salads 🥗, and more vegetables 🥦, or that I have completely forgotten about such as making a smoothie 🍌, or juicing 🥕 .

@77tes Oh, I can totally relate and am so sorry for your troubles! I hope you had extra fabric🤞. I can’t count the number of times I’ve checked and double checked my sewing and in the end I had to hunt down the seam ripper🤨. You’ll get this done! Good luck. BTW, the pattern matching is pretty good!!4

@77tes Love the fabric! That will be really pretty!4

#77tes like the fabric and the matching looks right on! My mother was an excellent seamstress. Alas, that talent was not passed on.4

@jan110144 , I wish sewing skills were hereditary!! My mom was quite the seamstress, but I think her secret was fearlessness! Trying to emulate her courage. Back in my teens and 20's my sister and I made most of our own clothes, although Mom still made a lot. I even made my own wedding dress. But after getting married and starting a family, I pretty much only did sewing repairs. However, I could never afford historical costumes for my balls, so I've had to challenge myself to get back to sewing.
I just noticed the waterfall effect: I decided to do something active, so I began dancing. Because I was dancing, I wanted to attend balls. Because I wanted to attend balls, I had to start sewing again.

Your post reminds me of how some parents comment on their kids’ test papers... the kid got 11/14 answers right but the parents only notice the 3 that were missed😏. Love what you said, “I got more activity than usual which was great”! And congrats on meeting your goal 4/5 of the time👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@PackerFanInGB, Dear Good Tracie, I so agree with @nebslp about how you did great, and also about how we (be it a parent or ourselves or anyone else) often only notice the missed ones! We all must remember, it is the progress and never the perfection 🌸🌺 , as we endeavor to make new healthy habits.

Hello wonderful habits family!
It’s been quite the week.
On Thursday evening, my rock of my life father had a major stroke. My parents spend their summers in northwestern Minnesota, so they air ambulanced Dad to Fargo, ND. Surgery revealed multiple brain clots and 100% blockage from the base of his neck to the top of his head. Despite all this, my Dad emerged alive from surgery and with his cognitive abilities very much intact. His speech is somewhat slurred, but improving. But he is paralyzed on his left side. It’s way too early to tell his long term prognosis. Intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapies over the next 6 months will bring back many of his abilities IF he’s willing to do the hard daily work of rehabbing his body. Fortunately, I know he will commit 100% to whatever therapies are recommended. I get my resolve and determination from my Dad.
Those of you who follow Quitting the Sitting’s Facebook page probably recognize my Dad since he’s a prolific liker of my posts. His first name is Doug. Prayers are very much appreciated. I am guardedly optimistic about his prognosis.
This is a very special Father’s Day for me.
And I have been logging my foods everyday. The normalcy helps a lot.
I really enjoy reading your progress updates. I am so proud of what you are accomplishing this month! We are a group of doers, not just wishers. 😀

Denise, I’m so sorry to hear about your dad’s stroke and resulting struggles right now. It’s wonderful that he retains his cognitive abilities and good to know he will do whatever it takes to recover from the stroke. I know how special he is, and I will pray for the best recovery possible.3
-
@themedalist Thoughts and prayers for your dad. Sounds like he got the immediate intervention needed. Best wishes to him for a speedy recovery.3
-
@themedalist, oh, my Denise. I will definitely be praying for your dad and family, as well as his medical team. The fact that your dad's cognitive abilities are intact, and that he is already experiencing some improvement in his speech capabilities is so hopeful and amazing. Hugs 💖.

@themedalist , I’m so sorry to hear of your dad’s stroke. I’m glad that he survived the surgery and still has his cognitive function! If he is as determined as his daughter, he will be the physical therapist’s pet in no time. I’ll be praying for Doug and for your whole family.4

June Projects:
1. Colonial petticoat (skirt), jacket (caraco), handkerchief. For a ball 6/29
2. Daughter’s Birthday: T-shirt, and maybe another sewn gift. Birthday 6/20
3. Regency Spencer (jacket) For Costume college July 28
So far
6/1 🧵 cut out bum pad
6/2 🧵finished bum pad
6/3 - no sewing- long workday and headache 😢
6/4 - 🧵 traced jacket pattern
6/5 - 🧵sister marked my petticoat hem
6/6 - 🧵pattern tracing for daughter’s birthday gift
6/7 - 🧵hand sewing
6/8 - 🧵 cut out jacket underlining/fitting muslin
6/9 - 🧵 fitted muslin
6/10 - 🧵 hand sewing
6/11 - 🧵 cut out fashion fabric - made a big mistake
6/12 - 🧵prepared and cut more fabric and made a couple purse-sized tissue holders
6/13 - 🧵worked on fitting sleeves
6/14 - 🧵 no actual sewing, just spent lots of time researching how the heck 18th Century sleeves work. Those things are sleevils!
6/15 - 🧵Eureka! Figured out how to set the sleeves
6/15 - 🧵underlined sleeves and hope to do some hand sewing before bedtime.
I’m afraid the birthday gifts won’t happen in time for my daughter’s birthday. The lining fabric is taking forever to arrive. It won’t get here until the day before her birthday.😫4
