Stitching

I got a very slow start this week...I didn't pick up any stitching until Thursday night. We missed Needle Club yet again, but I've put my foot down and, once we finish watching Miranda, we won't be watching any more videos. It's just too distracting, it's Needle Club after all, not Video Club (and I'm not interested in creating a video club).

But again, when I did finally start stitching, I only worked on Maleficent. I kitted up another project that I wanted to do this weekend (and should have been able to complete), but I'm close to finishing the first row of Maleficent and I couldn't focus on anything else. I did hit another milestone with Mal...I have now passed the hundred hour mark, she's at 108.2 hrs total. I like counting hours better than weeks. It really shows me more of how much time I'm spending on projects.

Anyhoo, I left her off here:
maleficent019
And she's here now:
maleficent023
It seems as though every time I clean it up from the dithering, I end up creating more with the next shade. I'm hoping for better progress this week and hopefully a row finish! I think I could take a break from her for a while then. I also need to take her outside in the sun and get a good picture of her color range. It's completely subtle, but I can see it with my naked eye, so I should be able to capture it. We'll see!

It looks awesome, even with the dithering. I wish they had never done that, I was excited about the Wizard of Oz Hannah Lynn's until I saw their faces all dithery... is that a word? Lol! But yours looks REALLY good!!! So much progress!

That is really close to a row finish, well done and I hope the row's end will allow you to take a break for a bit.

It looks amazing! Well done! It's a shame that the watching of TV during Needle club isn't successful as I like having a background noise whilst I stitch. I admit, I listen to TV rather than watching it a lot of time though!

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...
