My journey to lose weight started!!!

Christmas and all that celebrational stuff always adds on unwanted pounds! And it happened to me again!  So I'm on my way to be fit, and this time I'm very serious! Taking no prisoners! :)
So I started my slim journey on last Wednesday, and I'm happy with results, I lost around a pound since then! happy days!
Moreover, Sofya on her blog making a team to lose some unwanted grams, so I'm definitively joining girls too, cause its much easier and happier to do it together!!!
So my plan of actions:

• join Weight Watchers again (starting next Wednesday)
• start to play Wii trainer again
• go to Zumba at least once a week

And my weight for now is: (elephant song stuck in my head, honestly feel like one too!!)

My healthy breakfast, yum!

Post about Ceramic Brief

Finally manage myself to write this post. Promised to do it - here it is. So...
My drawing object was Nutmeg. So I did my 20 A1's and then got ceramic brief, and it asked us to do design based on them 20 A1 drawings, not on object. So here where is started:

Retro Water Bottle Cozy

Was so bored of my old water bottle, so decided to give it a new look! Much better now, and just in time for cold weather, we supposed to have snow in few days(can not wait, miss snow so much!) 
I used this great tutorial to make cover for my water bottle. Nice and simple!

By the way, background in pictures is my Grand Ripple Blanket, which I love so much, and which is proudly lying in my bedroom on my bed!

Be back very soon, still have to do art post! :)

Amazing pattern and amazing result, says me not being shy at all! :)
Was quick too, took me only about week, even less. The most annoying part was the last picot row.
Yarn is sock yarn from Lidl, didn't know it going to turn into a shawl. But I'm very happy with the result and can not wait to wear it proudly!
Took few pictures today in college straight after finishing, my good friend Aisling gladly agreed to model it for me:

Now its all washed, pinned and drying!

Don't know why I'm putting this here, but maybe 

someone will find this information useful:

Yarn: 'Nina' Sock Yarn from Lidl

Amount of yarn used: Around 2 balls and

a bit of third one

Knitting Needles: Bamboo in size 4mm
