IHSW Results

OK, so you won't actually be seeing a pic of this week's progress (since it's a secret project-gift for a friend), but I did make some, just not as much as I wanted. C'est la vie!

Instead, I'm going to use this post to thank everyone for your kind comments on my A to Z Challenge posts (both sets). I'm horrible at commenting back, I usually just don't know what to say, whether or not I need to answer to certain people directly, when to email privately, etc. So, in a typical anxiety disorder way, I just keep silent. But that doesn't mean I haven't read them (or, in the case of recommendations of British shows, added them to my wishlist), it just means I'm a big chicken!

Same goes for commenting on other blogs! How many times does one need to hear, "great stitching progress, well done", or "great blog post, I totally agree"? I'm there in spirit, can that just be enough? Well, until I grow some you-know-whats, I guess it will have to be. There are very few times in my life that my social issues affect me, this is one of them. I wish I could just comment away and be funny and witty, but it just ain't gonna happen.

So fellow challengers, we're almost to the end, so good luck everyone!! And fellow stitchers, looking forward to seeing your progress!

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...
