Don't listen to the "experts". I'm here to tell you that coffee builds muscles like nothing else. We love this particular brand. It's cheap and tastes pretty decent (it's not awesome but it's available at the corner market so that nearly makes up for any lack). Oh, and I think the cans are cute.
My crafty husband decided to deplete my growing can collection for his new workout routine. 4 coffee cans, 2 lengths of pvc pipe, one bag of cheap cement. Each one weighs right around 10 pounds and Joey's been turning into Mr. Biceps using these things (nice!).
I have a harder time working out with them and my arm was straining just to take this picture. I'm sticking with my little girly 5 pounders.
Even the other guys in the house have trouble lifting them so I don't feel too bad about my own inadequacies.
I'm working on a couple of sewing projects and have been able to dabble in some embroidery lately. I'd forgotten how much I love it. I've been wanting to try the Cosmo floss for ages and now that Bari has opened an amazing embroidery store it looks like it might be time. Oh, and you must start reading Bari's new We Love French Knots blog! Serious inpiration over there. Back soon!
