IHSW #1 and TUSAL

I had such high hopes for this weekend, but my heart just wasn't in it. For every hour of stitching, I probably did four hours of Disneyland studying. On a positive note, I got a ton of trip stuff done though, so it wasn't a total waste of a weekend. I only worked on Alice and the B's and I left off here:

And only made it to here by mid afternoon today (before I officially gave up the goat):

As you can tell, I was even too busy doing other things to pull the thread all the way through.

It's also TUSAL time. I keep pushing the threads in my ORT jar down and it looks like they haven't grown, but they definitely have. Since I had a specific path this weekend, my ORT jar pic reflects it:

I also discovered yet another stack of Disney movies I haven't watched yet and I forgot all about the TV shows, so I am not even close to being finished with my challenge. I was really hoping to be done with it, but alas, not quite yet. Maybe another week or two.

You still got a lot done especially as those stitches are tiny!

That's great progress. Some weekends are just not stitchy ones, even if we wish they were.

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...
