(Sunday Sevens is a weekly blog series in which we share seven or so pictures of the various things we did during the week. You can blame it all on Natalie.)
Much sewing, much cleaning, and much exercising happened this week, so I’m feeling good about that. Not enough getting outside happened, though, and I need to work on that one next week.
One of our lovely (if I do say so myself) dinners that happened this week: a frittata with turkey sausage, lots of veg, and a little sharp cheddar. Plus roasted potatoes!
Got together some things to go to Goodwill. Since I took the picture, one more box for donation has been added to the stack, a BIG box of clothing has been Freecycled, and partner’s old desk chair has been listed on Freecycle.
I’m now at a weight where I fit most of my “fat” clothes AND most of my “thin” clothes, meaning I have way too many! I decided to keep only the items that I love and that look good on me. All the “it looks lousy on me but I spent way too much for it” and the “it used to fit me before my shape changed” and the “it looks great on the hanger but not on me” and the “it looks okay on me but it makes me feel frumpy” clothes got the boot.
Made the cycling cap muslin and it was a hit!
Two more caps have been requested.
Partner was kind of tickled by the idea of having a cycling cap made out of the kind of fabric your grandmother would have a couch covered in, so that’s the one on the right. He also liked the lovely linen and picked out burgundy thread and bias tape for it.
On Friday evening we took a walk in Howard Amon Park in Richland.
Some of the trees are in bloom . . .
and some are just leafing out.
We didn’t do any sort of big Easter thing, just spent the day being lazy and taking a nap.
Bonus shot of Pooh yelling:
And I think I’m in danger of falling deeply and dangerously in love with the cool camera my partner loaned me (used for the tree and cat pics here). He may not be getting that back for a while.
Have a happy holiday if you’re celebrating one today. And have an excellent week, everybody.

The fritata and roasted potatoes look really delicious, and I like the Sunday Sevens idea!

Thank you! We’d love to have you join us in doing the Sunday Sevens–it’s kind of a fun thing, and I like the extra push it gives me to practice my (not very great) photography.

Love this! The frittata looks delicious. I also love the cap. It’s funny, I had the idea the other day that I will make myself a floral athletic outfit for spring. Strange but true! Maybe it’s because we have no lovely spring buds here as you do. 😦
Great stuff re. the getting rid of stuff that doesn’t suit or fit. I love that feeling of letting go of stuff. For me it’s truly liberating, and something I do every few months or so. I have kept clothing in particular for long periods, for no good reason.
Incidentally, there’s a documentary about an Italian-born cyclist and bicycle maker from Montreal that might interest your partner. A friend just sent me the link and I am going to go to see it as soon as it is at my local theatre (I don’t know when it will be available in the US): http://www.marinonimovie.com/MAIN/INTRO.html .

I love the idea of a floral workout outfit! I always seem to make something a little bit silly and a bit too bright in the spring–you go a little nutty being in a gray, brown, and white world for so many months, I think. Thank you so much for the info on the documentary; my honey is very interested in frame-building and is probably already a fan of Marinoni. 🙂

Cool! Thanks for the encouragement re. the floral workout outfit. I am definitely going to make it as I am quite out of shape right now and I will make it as motivation to get fit for a race in May .:)
