Parov Stelar - Ragtime Cat ft Lilja Bloom (Lunch Break)

-
I've been struggling to get motivated for exercise lately, I admit it.

Its really hard to do the daily's of life with all its complexity. I discovered the bouncy beat of dancers online while helping my son one day. His life is filled with active music, he's thin though thinks he's got a few pounds to loose anyway!

As we get older, we age, yes we do and suddenly parts of me that used to react, now complain! I have read bloggers who promote fitness and many of them refer to motivational music to help you relax and get into the zen of exercise. For me, the last thing I need to do is relax about my exercise routines. I need something jazzy and music with a good beat. 

Please watch this dancer Parov Stelar doing his thing and maybe it will help promote you to get up and dance!





Happy dancing everyone, I'm back home soon and will have a campfire post for you, take care!

      Ya, heh, very fun and I love doing housework to this kind of music where I can pop back into the living room for a quick peak too!

    I don't know if you follow the blog "Inbox Jaunt". Lori Kennedy's blog is about machine quilting and she teaches Craftsy classes. However, she also has a motivational get it moving thing going on "lose those fatquarters". As quilters we tend to be a more plump leisurely lot, myself included.
    However she has motivated me to get moving again and since I have always loved to dance, i crank up the oldies but moldies on spotify and "shake that thing". Since i like dancing I am hopeful that I can keep it up.
    Thanks for this great dancing video.

      You are so welcome. I've joined weight watchers too and working on loosing weight and I'm of the plump variety too! More moving around in dance of any kind is just good for me and you.

      Lori has got me on the move big time and now eliminating sugar from eating habits. We seem to be a bottom heavy bunch.

    How fun, thanks for sharing. I do need to 'break it up' once in a while. I start taking everything sooooo seriously.

    So inspiring. I needed inspiration to get out and start walking again but maybe now I'll dance.

    I enjoyed watching the video, I couldn't even get my arms goin in those direction, and yes I tried. Probably a very good thing I couldn't, and stopped there.

    Getting moving is a process. I have tried to do some of the dance he does, but I've found another dancer who motivates me even more. I will pop over and visit Lori Kennedy's site as soon as I can. Thanks for sharing to all of you!

Some of my days of late have been drafting, measuring, pressing, sorting and the like. I stumbled on a very organized-Value-Village-COVID-19 in Nanaimo. I glove-masked up and went in. Lots of decent, reasonable priced for a retail market. Maybe I'm just forgetting prices but these prices in VV and other "thrift shops" are becoming unreasonable for many seniors and low income folks to afford. The pricing seemed higher than previous times. Leave me your comnents below. I felt suddenly without much blue or green in my stash. But the good news is that it means I'm using it up at least my green and blue stash. And this is the first really sized load of fabrics I've purchased since 2016. Not bad! And that the green and blue fabrics might just find its way into new family quilts that I'm working on. Plus, I'm starting another Canadian Flag quilt for my youngest son.He's been wanting one since I gave the first one I made and then gave

My start was all 'high hat' style of course and then my life changed dramatically with one phone call. I got a new job! So as the days that I'd scheduled for work on this little project blog tour participation dwindled with chaotic new work schedules, the drama increased!  My plan was to create a new piece with Carol's Bowls With Borders paper piecing. Where I live is a constant influence in my art, my life and my choices for recreation. In the photo above, I actually hand sewed the paper piecing. I bet that is a first! They turned out really well, but the hand stitching wouldn't let me tear away the paper. I imagined a modern piece, the graph paper told me so and I continued. I free hand drew my version of a sockeye on the back side of iron on stabilizer on red linen.  I am a fisher as you all know by now! I've been out to the lake on my days off work harvesting sockeye salmon and enjoying the hot summer sun as we baked in the boat on

A little bit of stitching...

We are helping to tidy up my father in law's home and get him settled into a new home. Its tough, not easy to deal with and we are trying our best to hold down all that we have going on. But thank you for all the kind comments on my spring posts, its been kinda dismal in terms of my stitching, nothing really new, just a bunch of little pages for my weight loss journal. The following pages are some of what I've been mindlessly stitching out the stress of these times. Rusty is aging fast and this is a common view of Rusty whenever we find a shady spot to sit and watch the waves come in. She is 14.5 yrs old this year. We are taking time in small bites to reset our extra busy-ness this summer, elder care and a wedding, its way too busy. Happy quilting everyone. Carli
