A to Z Challenge - A

Welcome to April and the A to Z Blogging Challenge! This year I'm continuing on with two challenge posts, but I'm going to combine them in one to help with length. I'm not known for my brevity, so we'll see how I do but, of course, this first one is going to be longer due to necessary descriptions. I'm also HORRIBLE at grammar, so please forgive me. But enough of this chit-chat, yik-yak and flim-flam and let's get on with the show!

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-MISS ANNE ELLIOT
For this section, I'm just going to show progress pictures of each day's character and a brief comment instead of adding the lengthy commentary I had initially decided to do. I figured that if you're interested in this, you are either a stitcher or an Austen fan, and neither category needs any backstory. If you're not a fan of either, then it would be useless words anyway. Thanks a million to FanGirl Stitches for yet another amazing cross stitch pattern design!

My favorite Austen heroine because we are very similar in a lot of ways (well, other than the hottie naval captain waiting in the wings).

PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-ANTENNA TOPPERS
For this section, the descriptions are a bit necessary and I'll try to curb my OCD and Asperger's down a notch to make them short, but no promises!

I like to keep all of mine together, hence the "flower" arranging of them (in this town, they would get stolen if I actually used them on my car, not that I would anyway). I really need a bigger "pot" (I just haven't found the right one yet), but thankfully the chopsticks I mount them on are readily available due to my penchant for take out food. Oh, the backside isn't as pretty, but here it is too:

I'm not crafty, so if anyone has a better way to display these, let me know in the comments!
