First up for Monday is my health and what I’m doing to bring down my cholesterol. I’ve boosted the fiber, and have started eating at least 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. I’ve also cut off the consumption of coffee cold turkey the last couple days (yes coffee was my breakfast every day of the week and that’s it). It’s not the coffee so much as it was the Crème Brulèe Cream that I generously used. I had “BIG” plans to forgo the coffee earlier in the week but it was a very painful struggle so I didn’t kick the coffee ‘til the weekend. I’ve replaced my coffee with oatmeal and I’m really enjoying my little bowl of oats a lot more than I thought I would. I’ll be kicking another habit this week and I’ll write more on that next Monday.
My morning bowl of oatmeal with just a few walnuts, banana and blueberries
Next on the agenda is this pansy I started so long ago it seems.
I’m terribly sorry for the decline in drawing and my only excuse is that I can only concentrate on one thing at a time. I had high hopes of finishing the drawing last week but when hubby asked me to join him in Boston I couldn’t turn him down.
It looks like it’s going to be a good week to begin working on the pansy again and I have high hopes to have it shipped to New Delhi, India soon! I’m terribly sorry for the delay.
My final note is that I’m wishing all of you a very pleasant week!
Enjoy your week, too, Debbie!
I’m going to be starting my oatmeal regime again…now that fall is here, I like eating the stuff!

Here’s wishing you a wonderful week too, Debbie. And please take care of your health first; the drawing can wait. I feel terrible at having rushed you so….
What a lovely drawing!
Congrats on making healthier choices. I know it’s difficult, but will be so worth it in the long run!
🙂 Hoping for a wonderful day for you!
p.s. i added you to my “People I Dig” list 🙂
Well don’t feel terrible at all dreammaker, it’s my fault. I tend not to take on more than I can chew. I thought at the time I would be able to spend so much time on this while we were on our first trip to the St Louis area. That didn’t work out. Then we were scrambling with different issues with the floor plan and my brain can’t go back and forth between two things. And then my trip to Boston just threw a wrench into me wrapping up when I had plans to have this project finished. So it’s my apologies that it’s taking longer than expected.
Blessings – Debbie
Oatmeal is one of my favorites. You can add fruit, peanut butter, honey, etc. and it’s sooo good, especially on cold mornings.
I love seeing your drawings, but will happily wait until you are ready 🙂
GL on your healthier choices, Debbie! My morning drink of choice is tea with milk and absolutely no sugar. I treat myself with Dunkin Donuts coffee once in a while.
Have a great week and the pansy looks so pretty.
That breakfast looks delicious! I’d happily forgo my coffee for it! 🙂
I bought a can of Irish oatmeal and it was SO delicious! It tastes totally different from the Quaker oats I’ve always eaten before!
