Stitching

Despite an incredibly busy work week, I did manage a bit of work on Maleficent. I left off here:
maleficent056

and finished here tonight:
maleficent062
I'm getting to a point where it's pretty boring stitching, even with the appearance of Maleficent. I've done about 20 colors, and you can barely tell it's more than three and it's extremely frustrating. Next week will be even harder to make progress because work will be crazy and I'll be pulling double shifts. But at least there is a holiday in the middle...pretty much the only purpose holidays serve for me is extra stitching time and for that I'm thankful. It could be worse, I could be forced to spend time with family and eat foods I hate.

On the home front, the hippie:

Granted, he might now be a drowned rat, but once he's dry, he's going to be the cutest dog in the park!

No more shaggy dog! That looks like a lot of progress, and yes I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving for a lot of stitching or at least stitching prep as well.

How in the world is that a bit of progress? Lol it looks great but I can see how the colors would get boring after a while. That's what rotations were made for :)

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...
