April A to Z Challenge - Cross Stitch "F" x 2

F
We are now at "F" in the April A to Z Challenge and, although there was a lot of stitch work on this letter, the descriptions should be a lot easier than previous, so here we go!

Project #1: Once Upon A Time
"F" is for Blue Fairy/Mother Superior. She was also referred to as Reul Ghorm for a brief time but it was later discovered that it was just Cora "body snatching" again (and for those that don't speak Scots Gaelic, Reul Ghorm translates to Blue Star...an interesting bit of trivia for those of us with Scottish heritage). It's kind of ironic that the fairies all pretty much became nuns in Storybrooke...I'm really curious to know the writers thoughts behind this!

The Blue Fairy is pretty much the Queen of the Fairies in the Enchanted Forest just as she is Mother Superior in the "Fairy Convent" (as I like to call it).


Project #2: Veronica Mars
"F" is for "We Used to Be Friends", the theme song in the show, by The Dandy Warhols. Those that know me know that I have been a diehard Duranie since the age of 10 and I was aware of this song long before I ever heard it on the show. Nick Rhodes of Duran produced several tracks on the album, Welcome To The Monkey House (including this one) and Simon LeBon sung backing vocals on a song from that album (just not this one). Courtney Taylor-Taylor (the lead singer for the Warhols) guest starred as a karaoke singer in an episode of Veronica Mars as well (singing "Love Hurts").

That's an amazing talent you have. I think I poked myself with a needle just reading this. And thanks for your continued participation in A to Z!

I did not know the Duran connection to The Dandy Warhols. Shame on me. (Although, I let my Duran fandom die of late.)

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...
