[courtesy of a few *really* GOOD sales!] - I should probably call MY stash "The HERD". <br />I think my DustBunnies are probably at least 80% cotton! ;-}<br />And don't get me started on the Stash-"RESCUE" I do at the local thrift shop whenever Someone "donates" a deceased Relative's once prized "hoard"!

As others have said, neutral is best. I used a Fitbit for awhile, but after reading about all my information being used for data mining, I quit.

Go to garden ...Nice to know you are feeling better. Go to garden centre and have a nice coffee and then to the yarns to understand the color shade range you want to paint your room. Choose a yarn with a strict quantity which will go with the room you are going to paint . You can compare both paint shades(neutral or light colors of yarn) with yarn shades for projects there but buy yarn let's say for one cushion only. Difficult to resist but you won't feel you didn't take the discount advantage and going with a strict purpose and quantity is a satisfactory excuse. Sorry about the preaching :)Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719450107640709790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-16147592892624218432016-02-06T02:38:42.136+00:002016-02-06T02:38:42.136+00:00Linda.

What is it saying to you? It's saying "use us up before you buy anything more!". Didn't you mention a little something to me about decluttering? I thought so. If you want to spend a little something as a treat, put it towards your living room decorating. I'm trying to help you here you understand ;) Good luck with keeping a safe distance away from that yarn. Last night my husband and I went into one of my favourite stores and we saw THE cutest little teapot in the shape of an elephant. Poured out his spout. Probably two-cup capacity. CUTE! But I walked out of the store without it. I was even telling my husband I would get rid of a teapot I already have JUST to buy the elephant teapot! Clearly I cannot be trusted on my own in the stores just yet! More decluttering awaits me :(<br />BTW can your daughter help you with any redecorating decisions? My daughter is great for helping me with painting. She's encouraged me to paint different rooms three times now, and every time it's been a great success.

Long ...Glad to hear that your health is improving! Long may it continue. Well done too on all of the things you have made. Step away from the yarn is my advice! As for the decorating, go neutral if you are thinking of moving at some point. You can easily add colour in accessories, and by neutral I don't mean beige or magnolia. As for the walking, I have a fitbit zip, you wear it on your pocket and it works really well. I cannot say that it is 100% accurate because I don't know, but it certainly gives a very good indication. It does all you want, the display is small, but you can still wear your watch to tell the time and when you sync it with your computer it gives you the number of steps etc on there. I love mine and cannot recommend it enough, I even accidentally washed it in the machine twice and it is OK! Hope you don't think my answers are too bossy! Thank you for joining Five On Friday, happy weekend! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-46323322188621702172016-02-05T20:04:58.552+00:002016-02-05T20:04:58.552+00:00So happy to hear you are feeling better.

I'm sure your new settee set will be so lovely in your newly designed room. Maybe you should go to the paint store and stay away from the garden center with all that beautiful yarn which is calling out to you!

R...That's good you're feeling better! :-)<br /><br />Resist the yarn! lol I know how hard it can be. Especially when there's a sale or a store is going out of business. My stash grew bigger than I liked. So, I've been actually giving yarn away that I don't think I'll use. It feels good. However, I'm about to start a new project that might require a skein or two of new yarn. Sigh! lol<br /><br />I skipped those fancy, expensive wrist things that keep track of my steps. Instead, I have a small, simple, electronic device that I can carry in my pocket or even in my purse and it seems to be very accurate and it's easy. A lot less expensive too. I just use my cell phone for time since I always have it with me anyway. Good luck on your search. I hope you find something that works great for you. <br /><br />Have a great weekend! :-)Acorn to Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334558675705027610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-61521392691098638232016-02-05T18:51:18.922+00:002016-02-05T18:51:18.922+00:00I think either White of magnolia for the walls and...I think either White of magnolia for the walls and then anyone buying will have a neutral scheme to fit in their furnitrebusybusybeejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570020362062932692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-25385968903077893542016-02-05T18:50:21.847+00:002016-02-05T18:50:21.847+00:00Glad to hear your health is improving.

Its probably very similar to wearing the item, except that its on the phone, so it only picks up my steps when I've actually got it with me. Turns out that most of the time its fine, but on days when I leave it charging on the counter, I have much less steps showing even if I walked all over the whole time. <br />You could always try the app on your phone while you're doing your research and see what you think.
