A to Z Challenge - I


PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-MISS ISABELLA THORPE

Austen Alphabet09
One of my favorite "comeuppance" storylines...karma will get you everytime! This also begins the week of the women because there are no men this week (bummer).

PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-IRRATIONAL ITEMS

Irrational items are a rather large (and embarrassing) chunk of my Disney collection for some reason. There are the items that should get used but don't, like notepads and Christmas Cards:
Disney I-01
and crayons and coloring books:
Disney I-04
Then there are the out-of-character things like toy cars:
Disney I-02
Or just the completely insane things like popcorn buckets (I get totally nauseous at the smell of popcorn):
Disney I-03
Christmas stuff (since I hate Christmas...it's an Asper thing):
Disney I-06
Disney I-09
And throws that never get thrown:
Disney I-07
Lawn ornaments for someone who has no lawn:
Disney I-07
Disney I-08
But then there is just the junk stuff like the T-shirts I can no longer wear because I lost weight, or the boxes for items I've bought, or worse, every single pin card from every single pin I've ever bought (and THAT's the largest collection I have...more on that later). Since I only have one spare closet, it is filled to the brim with this junk.
Disney I-05
Every now and again I throw the old boxes away, but it doesn't take long for it to get junked up again.

I always felt a bit sorry for Isabella! She suffers a very cruel fate in the end.

Interesting interesting interesting!

For a moment there I though she was nekkid! ��

You can still wear oversized T-shirts! Lol

Oh I love your irrational collection Keiley, but you really should use some of it.

I'm cleaning out my garage right now and trying to make myself either use some of this stuff or get rid of it. It's hard. The heart is weird about belongings sometimes.

I thought the same as Kate!

I love your irrational collection, it really made me laugh because I can empathise with so much of it. I can't use that notebook or send those cards, they are for my collection!

I had forgotten about her, great stitching and glad I read up about her again. Wow... lots of interesting, incredible items.
Bea said…
I quite enjoyed your irrational items - even the empty boxes! I may have to go back and reread Northanger Abbey.
Heather said…

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
