A to Z Challenge - D


PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-MR. FITZWILLIAM DARCY
Austen Alphabet04
I'm not gaga over Darcy like the general population is, he's more like my third or fourth (or possibly fifth) favorite hero...I personally can't get over his snobbery, but Matthew Macfadyen does help a bit.

PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-DOLLS
Due to the aforementioned age-10 toy debacle, I'm still leery of dolls to this day (my Barbie collection was quite large when I was 10 and when they were given to my sister, I preceeded to destroy them in rather vicious ways), but I do have a few, mainly centered around my favorite princesses (the Rapunzel and Merida dolls I showed yesterday):
Disney D-01
And villains:

But also the Animators Dolls (which I LOVE!). I only wish I had room for more of them!
Disney D-02
I've tried hard to stay away from Frozen merchandise because I don't really care much for the movie, but it's been really hard and I still have my weaknesses...I swore up and down I was NOT going to buy these, but I did, in Disney World no less:
Disney D-04
Olaf is excluded from the Frozen ban, as evidenced here.

I also have a Duffy, the Disney Bear (not technically a doll, but) and several of his outfits, but I never take them off their hangers (it would mess up the packaging)
Disney D-04  Disney D-05
I'm starting to amass enough outfits that I need to get a doll hanger rack for them.

Your collections seem to be so well ordered, maintained and presented. I think this is what separates a true collector from someone who simply wants to have them for the sake of possessing them - if that makes sense.

I have never heard of Duffy, the Disney Bear. I do love your doll collection though.

Nice Darcy. I will admit to loving Colin Firth's portrayal, but that may be the crush talking. I'd also never heard of Duffy and what makes the Animators dolls different?

Lovely stitching as always :) I never really warmed to Darcy in the books, but have always loved Colin Firth's portrayal :)

Have to admit to being another one who has never heard of Duffy - I'll have to check him out. I've never seen Frozen so I have a hard time understanding what all the fuss is about.

I've always liked Darcy, from the book right through the several TV/movie incarnations I have seen of him.

Nope I'm not a Darcy fan either. Far too rude and snobby. I guess he had to be in the Austen sampler though.

Ooh Colin firth as Mr. Darcy ;) I had a Barbie doll that was modelled on Belle from Beauty and the Beast, we bought her on a trip to Florida although I'm not sure if she was bought in a park or just a regular shop. I also bought a café over there for the Barbies, it had baking trays and the oven door opened!

Great stitching and cute dolls :) I'm not a big doll fan in general because they creep me out but I do like the animators dolls.

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...

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...
