Battling blisters from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Believe it or not, but I still have a blister! Yes -- I'm wearing my Camino shoes to finish them off, so these shoes have a wide toe box, and they are a full size larger than my regular shoes, and I still get that mohawk toe callus on my right foot (baby toe). It's a result of the toe being crushed by the one next to it. And, of course, the side of the shoe. Actually, it's never had a chance to fully heal.

There was a lot of dead skin from the walk, but most of ...

Runaways!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Thanks for the speaker recommendation -- the one I have isn't cheap! It's a SONOS Roam, but from scouring the internet, I'm not alone in the issue of it cutting out. I might just have a look at the Bose because I tried the Roam when I got home, and it wouldn't work. That's not acceptable! I'll also call their support to see what they say! Why do I ALWAYS have issues with my technology? This speaker is NOT old, and I paid $200 for it - not cheap! 

It's so good to go away ...

Quilting a hand-embroidered quilt from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

OH -- I just remembered that I need to take pictures of the pouches. Tomorrow -- I promise!

Well, the clock is ticking on my Virtual Challenge -- I've less than 100 KM to finish it off, and of course, there is an issue with syncing the data, so I have to make a manual adjustment later today. I will make my goal! And even if I'm one day late, it's no big deal, but still -- it's the principal of the matter!

Another great Zoom on the mySewnet software. It's quite silly, actually, because there's so much ...

Listen to your feet from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I'll provide more information on the pouches tomorrow as I have two of them, and I want to show you both, as they are similar, yet quite different. 

So there's bad news today. Not super bad news, but to me -- it's not good. However, it's an early wake-up call, and I better be doing some more research. 

The other day when I was out walking the girls, I felt a hot spot developing on the inside of my left heel. This surprised me as I have walked over 150 KM in this current pair of running ...

And so the healing begins from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!



The Camino Frances (from Saint Jean Pied de Port) to Santiago is 778 KM for those interested in numbers. I walked 190 KM, so almost 1/4 of the route. My memory has wiped out the gory details, but other than day one, I think I walked with blisters. Am I looking for sympathy? No, but I would have enjoyed it much more without the feet issues!

I will go back -- I'm just unsure if I'll start where I left off or go back to the beginning. I'll see how it goes. I've been reflecting a ...

Prepping for Africa from Where Art & Life Meet

Off we go on our grand adventure to Africa tomorrow! Here is a little recap of the last 24 hours… Yesterday: Wake up to find we have been sent a notification from the airlines that our flight has been cancelled. Wait, what?!??? My heart skips a beat, a precursor to the flood of panic that […]
