Body Lifts and new bags (related items??)

The past few days I have been obsessed with hanging skin. After 122 lbs lost, you find you have that excess skin that annoys everyone. My issue is arms. I work my arms while in the pool and think my biceps look great. However, the bat wings make it look as if I am not working my arms or that I draped a curtain over them to hide them. It is weird to have defined biceps and then the bat wings. I know my thighs are saggy but that doesn't seem to bother me so much. I think because I like sleeveless clothing, my arms bother me most. My crafting keeps my hands from freezing up and I even exercise my hands in the pool. I believe exercise increases your lifespan and adds to your quality of life. I often wonder if my new journey is more challenging than first expected.

Ok new bags...I have finished a bag that is my own design inspired by another pattern I saw somewhere a while back. I will have a picture soon, but I am shopping today for a lining. I think the lining will be the best part of this bag. Why? I hear you asking. I am going to concentrate on the things I want the lining to do for me. I want pockets for organizing. I usually just toss together a lining and forget I need zippers and pockets to hold things together. The pictures of the lining will come soon. I am going to really make this a super project! OK back to life, getting dressed and shopping for the fabric and notions.

Enjoy today. No matter how hot it is, you can make it a great day. Effort to happy results in a worthwhile job/journey. You can do it if you want to. Give it a try!
