2014 Stitch Goals

I've decided to set my stitching goals for 2014 myself. I never really cared for trying to complete and post progress by a certain day of the month (although I will try to post around the first). I'm also going to be a bit more conservative than last year, I just set the bar way too high.

I've got three projects on the burner as it is, and my goal is to finish all three. I'm not a fan of multi-projects...it's just been too stressful and I usually only ever want to work on just one. From now on, I am going to limit myself to just two at a time. But the three in the works are:

The Princess And The Pea:

I'm starting the year here:


A Summer Ball:

Starting here:


And finally, 35th Anniversary Celebration:

Which is stuck here:


I still want to start Sleepy Hollow Mural and I already have all the supplies and have the material stretched for it.


But more than likely, once The Princess And The Pea is finished, I will be starting Alice and the Bouguereau Princesses:


I would like to try to see how fast a HAED Quick Stitch or a mini goes compared to their regular stitches and I've got a good variety to choose from in my stash.

If I do somehow manage to finish either A Summer Ball or 35th Anniversary Celebration, I would like to start another non-Disney/non-Jasmine Becket-Griffith project, maybe something on linen. We'll just have to see what happens. I'm only dedicating myself to finishing the three on the fire and anything else will be a nice bonus. I've got no plans for a gifting project this year either, but again, you never know. Guess it depends on how bad work goes or how many Disney trips I end up taking this year!

I love the Princess and the Pea as well as Alice and the Bouguereau Princesses, but then I am a Jasmine Fan! I'm really looking forward to seeing your progress!

I really love your Princess and the Pea. I know it will probably be awhile, but would love to see Sleepy Hollow Stitched up!

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...
