A to Z Challenge - B


PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON
Austen Alphabet02
A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion

PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS
Disney B-01

Disney B-02
Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me:
Disney B-03
Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go!
Disney B-05
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.

Nice stitching Keiley. I love your book and magazine collection. Do you ever read them? I've got a couple booklets that I bought 30+ years ago at Disneyland. They kinda highlighted some of the park rides and stuff.

That's a lot of books, but they add up to a wonderful collection. I agree with you about Colonel Brandon.

I sympathise with your shelves, I really do. The problem with moving the boks around, though, is maintaining the ordering, so you can always find a book immediately when you want it.

I am currently finding the convenience of a Kindle preferable to the bulk of books, but you can't just look at an electronic reader and love its contents, can you?

Lovely cross stitch :) We bought new shelves at the end of 2014 because ours were all bending - they're Swedish made and a grown person can hand off them - it's the only way they don't die under the weight :). I imagine a few get read every time you have to rearrange? That's what always distracts me when trying to deal with books.

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 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...
