Stitching

How can a weekend after a holiday be so short? It's not like I spent the entire weekend sleeping, on the contrary, I spent most of it stitching and watching my newest TV obsession, Bones. At least I got to make up for my lack of stitching during the week. I might be able to finish this row before the end of the year after all. I left off here:
maleficent062
and I finished off here tonight:
maleficent067
Finishing off Maleficent's face was both satisfying and sad...it was nice to see her appear but I also know that the most exciting stitching parts are over with now and it's all just finishing up the project. It kind of takes the fun out of it when the good parts are over with, especially when you're not even halfway done. Oh well, that's the price we pay, right?

Woohoo she's gorgeous! My favorite part are the purples on the bottom of her dress.

She looks amazing! Well done you in so much progress and I have a small obsession with Bones as well.

I imagine that weekends spent stitching HAEDs are always short as they are so labour intensive! Great progress. Like Heather I think the purples will be fun to stitch.

Maybe less fun with the background, but still it looks great !! And I would love to see the finished result. Keep on stitching :-)

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...
