March IHSW

I totally sucked this weekend when it came to stitching. I was so excited when I saw the International Hermit and Stitch Weekend was up and running again, I signed up before I remembered that my stitch mojo is still suppressed by post-Disney depression. But on the plus side, I got the house cleaned, the laundry done, the last of the new Disney memorabilia put up where it belonged, especially the pins:

and I still ended up with a ton of extras (damn those mystery pins!)

I completely forgot about the cross stitch pin set I bought...it's nice to see that someone in Disney merchandising knows stitching Disney fans exist:

but most importantly, the little man got his hair cut. He went from hippy:

to hottie:

But I did manage a bit of stitching today at least when I remembered that I needed to finish Cinderella Castle so that I could use the scroll frame for the April A to Z Challenge which is fast approaching. I left off here:

and made it back down to the bottom of the project:

I'm still not finished, but my lazy hands need a bit retraining to get back up to speed.

Speaking of the April A to Z, tomorrow is the theme reveal and I'm still on the fence about what I'm going to do for the challenge. I am sure of the stitch project that I'm going to do, I'm just not sure if, or even what, I'm going to do on the Disney front. Guess I need to get to thinking pretty fast!

Awesome progress! I finally am able to stitch again but didn't get a lot done this weekend. We're in the middle of planning another cruise too so I hope I can stitch soon

Terrific progress on the castle. And Bam looks adorable - what a cutie! Although was a bit of hissing when Snowy jumped up on the back of my chair and realized there was A DOG on my computer.

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...
