Stitch lag

I figured once I got to the mattresses I would start to slow down, and I was right, but not for the reason I thought. I've been stitching as much as usual, it's just really slow going because it's a bit confetti'ed.

From Monday:


To today:


I did add new stuff to my stash this week thanks to a super HAED sale (that is still going on, by the way). Most of which are Aimee Stewart's.

Treasure Hunt Bookshelf (completely mad at myself about this one...I chose the wrong pattern, I meant to get the large version of this)


The Butterfly Ball:


and The Dreaming Tree:


I did decide to go ahead and splurge on another Jasmine Becket-Griffith as well...if there is one thing I've learned about HAED's, they don't always stick around forever. I've been drooling over this one for a while and I didn't want to miss out.

The Three Fates:


I also added the new Disney Dreams offering - Lady And The Tramp:

Not really sure why I buy these, I will probably never stitch them...must be a Disney thing.

Awesome progress and I love your new stash. PLEASE stitch the Disney kits. I have a couple of them and I want to get Lady and the Tramp.

Apparently I don't have permission to view your flikr pics, so I will take your word for them :D And, uhm...well, you are mad at yourself for not getting the larger sized version of the bookshelf? Hmmmm, you and my girlfriend Nancy must be related somehow :-D

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...
