April A To Z Challenge - Cross Stitch "E" x 2

So, how did everyone do in their first week? This is usually the week when participants start dropping off like flies, so hopefully everyone is still going strong! I think I'm having withdrawals from my regular stitching projects...I never thought I'd say this, but I miss Maleficent!

Project #1: Once Upon A Time
This will be my last one-character letter for a while, so rough times are ahead!

"E" is for Emma (who doesn't have an Enchanted Forest alter because she was only there for the first couple minutes of her life and, when she was there as an adult, she was already established as Emma). She spent her childhood as an orphan in foster care, including a brief stint in the care of Sarah Fisher (later on her). She's considered the Savior because she is the product of "true love"...the daughter of Prince Charming and Snow White, which is why she also possesses magical powers (although she has trouble using them). Since the Storybrooke characters were under a curse for 28 years and didn't age, Emma is the same age as her parents (which gets weird at times).

She's the birth mother of Henry (who she gave up for adoption while incarcerated in prison and now co-parents him with his adoptive mother Regina) and who she conceived with her first love, Neal Cassidy (more on him later). She almost gets engaged to Walsh while she and Henry were living in New York during the second curse (but Walsh turns out to be a flying monkey, so it didn't work out obviously). She's currently in a relationship with Killian Jones (again, you'll find about him later).

Project #2: Veronica Mars
"E" is for Logan Echolls, son of Aaron, best friend of Duncan and Dick, and on-off love of Veronica. He's a bad boy trying hard to mend his ways, but winds up accused of numerous crimes...some he committed, some he didn't, but he's always saved by Veronica's detective skills in the end.

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...
