My bingo wings are killing me! (For those unfamiliar with the term, bingo wings are those unattractive flabby bits of our upper arms where we used to have nicely toned muscles.)

I did quite a lot of rotary cutting yesterday and all that pressure has really found the remains of those muscles in my arms. I didn't realise it could be such good exercise!

At my house we call it a Chuppy. My little girl I used to babysit grabbed it and said what's this and I told her I was just a little chubby. She asked how did you get that Chuppy? Then she taught her parents that word and they were horrified that she had learned that bad word! They did not approve of any criticism of people, and there she was calling me chubby and I was cool with it!

Great! You discovered another reason to sew and embroider. It's good exercise. I hope your bingo wings feel better soon.

Ha, ha. All this kind of exercise has not helped my bingo wings.

We call them bat wings, and I am developing quite a pair. Time to get cutting squares to make all those test squares into a quilt - I hope it works!

Oh dear there's no hope for me. Since I dropped 60 lbs it's more like Eagle wings/Lillian

I told a neighbor of mine those were her 'meanness' shining through. But now I know who is who. Now I need my glasses been trying to do this without them. Have a good day.
