My Friday Finds . . .




A few of the things I find each week which pique my curiosity or inspire me to want to do something, create something, cook something, or become a better person! I hope they will pique your curiosity or inspire you in some way as well!



A handy chart which shows you how many minutes you need to walk a day in order to lose weight according to your height and weight.  I think I might need to walk for the rest of my life, haha.  

 

Are you a knitter?  Here is a free Advent Calender  Garland of tiny mittens, although if you are like me it might take you until next year, if then to get them done!  From  Just Crafty Enough.

  6. Oh my gosh, I loved everyone of these finds. I am going to be looking up more about most of them I did love the same crocheted shawl that you loved, loved. I wish I could make it.
    These were just really some awesome items I like. I really really liked the chart on how many minutes you need to walk each day to lose weight. I am always working on this one. I need to walk more but I am always feeling tired. I think it might be because I am old.
    Sending loving thoughts your way and hugs too.

  7. I am always feeling tired also LeAnn! Some days I feel ancient! I think I could walk 24/7 for the rest of my life and still not lose weight! xoxo
