About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	I always have a challenge in front of me. Nine years ago, I lost 100 lbs, started running, ran a 5k, & then a marathon. I started lifting weights & benched 135 & squat 185. Then life started to change. I began to loose focus, drive, memory & then feeling in my body. More symptoms presented, & 5 MRI's later, my neurologist told me I have Peripheral Nerve Hyperexcitablity. Basically, that means that my nerves & muscles do what they want without my permission. I missed 18 months of exercise. I started knitting to calm my fears & give me a challenge that would focus my creativity. Meds are helping & I am sewing now. I wanted to knit Lily of the Valley in memory of my Granny, but struggled. I found a beautiful Lily of the Valley quilt...& remembered I could sew...I am loving it...challenge accepted. Current challenge...replace all the clothes in my closet with ones created by me! I wasn't going to have a start and end date, but I think I am ready to do that...68 articles of clothing...Start date: September 1, 2015...End date: MY BIRTHDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH, 2016. 65 Saturdays in total...
