Project runway stupid

There is a show, project runway. It's a show about designers. 

They have different missions they need to do. They need to buy fabric, in the famous MOOD and go back and sew. 

Short version, that is. 

And sometimes, the designers are there in MOOD, shopping fabrics and when coming back to the work room they open the bag and goes. 

"OH GOSH, I DIDN'T REALIZED I GOT THIS FABRIC. I CANT SEW IN THAT."

I always think that they are kinda stupid. Why oh why do they go and spend money, buying fabric that they haven't sewed in. How oh how can't they realize what fabric they are buying? 

How is that possibly? I'm asking myself. 

There I was yesterday, rushing to get the fabric I needed to a skirt. Rushing to get some interface and rushing home to make some food. 

later in the evening I sat to sew. I open the bag and I go:

"OH GOSH, I DIDN'T REALIZED I GOT THIS FABRIC. I CANT SEW IN THAT."

Outside cinema

Yesterday evening, we spent outside. Means summer isn't gone. We went to one of the parks in Vinohrady and watched a movie. 

Was very nice, rather romantic. 

The little girl sleeping in the stroller, all dressed up in blankets. 

Us sitting sipping a beer, watching the movie. 

And all for free!

Fantastic city!

getting some extras

I've got a lot of sewing things going on. But need to get some extra stuff for it. Missing some pieces, to finish the garments. 

I'll try to make it until the weekend!

The tough times are upon me

Working out has been so fun for me. Each time I've felt as I improved and was able to do more then the last time. 

Which is so much fun. And it gives me the motivation to continue. 

I want to see how much better I can do since last time!

Until now. Not the tough times are upon me. Yesterday was the first time, that I felt I didn't want to swim. The first time that it was REALLY REALLY hard to do anything. It went slow, it was tough. And just no fun. 

In my head I tell myself that it has to be tough, how can I ever get better if it's just fun and easy. 

But what the brain says and what I do are two different things. 

I know that this has happened before, and it was just when this feeling came, that I started to have days that I didn't need to do anything. Days I needed to rest. And wops, all of a sudden I didn't do anything for 2 months, and needed to start all over again. 

I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this. I'M TIRED OF THIS. 

I want to have a true and sustainable change in being. 

I want this to be good. 

I've done exercises more or less since our travels in Bolivia last year. So I have improved A LOT from what I did before. 

But it's the "more or less" that I don't like. 

I want it to just be more. No less. All the time. I want it to just be a part of who I am. Nothing else. 

So now it's just the time to be tough, hard and set my goal. 

And keep to it. yayayayaya. 

Tough times are upon me.  

Skirt on demand

My friend found a really nice stripy fabric, long time ago. She gave it to me, to do a summery skirt. 

It was early spring, if I recall it right. 

I did do the first part of the skirt rather fast, but couldn't continue as I needed to fit it. 

Finally, 2 days ago we could do the fitting!

And now it's finally done. 

Unfortunately the mannequin are to big for the skirt. 

So you can't really see that's it's nice and flary.

  

The back.

Here you see it even more that it's not the same size, the skirt and the mannequin. 

If you have any fabric lying at home, and you want to do something out of it, contact me on maria@maria-madgalena.com and we can work something out!

PS. If anyone know anyone, that knows some place that sells; size changeable, affordable mannequins please contact me. 

Pillows

Was now some time ago I did any sewing. It has been lovely weather, so been out a lot with my child. 

Also had birthday of husband, anniversary and other fun things that happened, so sewing has been put on second speed. 

Yesterday I picked up the machine and had some fun!

We had four IKEA pillows, blueish pillows. 

FINALLY, did I do some covers for them. 

And they turned out very good I would say. 

I start to think I'm pillow crazy. Want to have pillows everywhere. Need some more for my bed I see here...

The size in 35x35 cm

I did have some fabric over, so I sewed 5 more. 

If YOU are interested in getting this, child labor free, pillow cover contact me on maria@maria-madgalena.com

or check out my website: Maria Madgalena

Size is 35x35 and cost 5 euro each

to drink or not to drink

that's the question. 

I did a lap jogging, without having my energy drink. And it didn't really do as well as I hoped. 

Now I'm a bit beaten. Maybe it wasn't me that was actually good, it was just the drink before that made me feel good. 

I also wonder if anyone has any tip of exercises that I could do. Here I'm talking about things that do not cost like hell.

Or even better if anyone knows someone that want to be a PT. They can use me as "before and after" if they want. 

If they can make me fit, they can make anyone fit. 

Of course as it would be a benefit for us both it would be in the good nature that the cost would be low, or nothing.

And something totally different. 

I'm thinking of donation eggs, for science. I think that is a good thing to do. I also want to donate my organs, when I die and want to give blood. 

Does anyone knows whom I should contact regarding these questions. 

Well not the donation thing right now, but the two other questions. 

Anyone?
