It has begun!

I have started The Princess And The Pea! Funnily enough, I swear I started on this one with the same color I started my little Highland girl with. But without further ado, this weekend's work, starting with Saturday:
pea001

to tonight:
pea002


I also worked a bit on A Summer Ball, but I absolutely HATE working on it...HAED's have spoiled me forever! No fractionals, no back-stitching, just straight cross stitch. But I guess I should show where I made it on that as well (although it isn't much):

And that's it, another very short weekend has gone. No news on the puppy front either. Chalking that up to fate right now and just letting it be.

Just a short side note, for my inner Whovian...BBCA has been airing a special series on each Doctor for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who (as well as tons of other specials). It seems as though they are airing one Doctor special a month, January was William Hartnell and February was Patrick Troughton. Which means, at this rate, it will be October before we get to my Doctor, David Tennant. But I couldn't wait, so I've started rewatching the series DVD's again. Plus, with the 7th series continuing at the end of March, I'm hoping it will make me like Matt Smith a bit more (and get me through series 6, which I still haven't watched in its entirety). But then again, watching David cry, "I don't want to go" might be too much for me to handle for a second time.

Which reminds me of another thorn on my side...of all the Doctor specials they have been airing, not one single show has made mention of the human Doctor and Rose. It could just be my love of David as the Doctor, but is the human Doctor not the perfect way that David and Billie could return to the show? Did the human Doctor change when the real Doctor regenerated? Are David's Doctor and Rose still happy together in their parallel universe? Do I have WAY too much time on my hands and an unfocused brain or what?

But as an exit to this post, the absolute best scenes of the Doctor and Rose, with a little help from my favorite band, Take That:

We are big doctor who fans in our house. I did love David Tennant but now think Matt Smith is just perfect for the role. Still struggle to watch the scene though where the doctor and Rose are separated without having a good cry lol!

Great stitching. Love your recent haed finish.

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...
