What to do?

I've been tinkering with this composition for several days now, I can't seem to get it right. What do you think, too busy, too much going on, to predictable. I'm stuck. HELP! The flower beads and the dragonfly are already sewn down. The mahjong piece is glued also.I would appreciate any suggestions.
Hope all is well in blog land.

life in session

This is for my doctor Julie. She is leaving the office she has been in for the past 10 years. I will miss her.

I have been preparing to do an art show for the middle of March, with my friend Chris. Yesterday we decided to delay it until we check out the venue. The show is held once a month at one of the wineries in our town. Here is one of the pieces I plan to sell. I am hooked on birds.
Today hubby and I are taking our bikes down to the beach for a ride. This fits in with my last post to CONQUER my weight gain. More excersize!
Have a wonderful day everyone.

food for thought

Recently I went to have my cholestrol checked. It was high. 242 to be exact.(under 200 is recomended) So I went on a diet. I walked and tried to eat better, and it went down to 211... good news uh. Next check up it went up to 218. I gained 4 lbs.
I have stopped eating red meat, fish and chicken only, very little dairy, lots of fruit and veggies, . (no problem for me, cause I love them). No cake no candy, no bread, lots of grains. I gained another 2 lbs. WHAT IS UP WITH THIS CRAP! I am soo frustrated.
I talked to my chiropractor today, he lost 7 lbs in one week, eating meat. WHAT IS UP WITH THIS CRAP! I am soo frusstrated.
OK so I have to have a new plan. Ladies, I'm sorry to say, because I know many many people struggle with weight problems. But this is my first time. I am a small women, 5ft. tall. I've never had to watch my weight. I've struggled with other problems, but never with this.  I will be 59 this year. I'm in pretty good shape really for my age. I have lots of energy, and I do try to eat right.  If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know. I am NOT giving up. I will CONQUER this. One day at a time!

warmly beth.
