A to Z Challenge - H


PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-MISS HARRIET SMITH
Austen Alphabet08
One of my least favorite Austen characters and it looks like I got a bit lazy with stitching her dress...that crookedness might drive me nuts if I stare at it too long!

PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-HAUNTED MANSION
Like Figment, I don't have a lot of Haunted Mansion stuff because of their cost (highly collectible items and usually issued as limited editions), but I have a few pieces crammed together (I really need more shelf space for them):
Disney H-01
Disney H-02
And like my ear hats, I'm most proud of my Disneyland and Disney World versions of the hearses...one of the few things I can't bring myself to remove from their boxes. But then there is also my favorite Haunted Mansion collectible, a relatively recent acquisition:
Disney H-03
Of course Haunted Mansion isn't the only ride-themed stuff I collect, I also have some Pirates of the Caribbean stuff (the ride, not the movie), but it's not really enough to show.

I don't like Harriet either! We have very similar Austen tastes.
Is it really bad to admit I don't know what Haunted Mansion is?

Another great collection Keiley and one of my favorite rides.

I never thought I'd ever hear myself saying this, but I think the hearses are great! Another enjoyable collection.

Seeing all your stitched letters so far are making me feel guilty for the piece its taken me 3 years to get 1/3 of the way done! Guess I better get busy.
I'm not seeing a crooked dress, either!
And the hearses are awesome.

I think this would be my favourite part of your whole collection.
My friend's band used to have a hearse, bit of a cliche but still impressive.
My Grandad learned to drive in one but he did at least work for an undertaker! He used to pick my Nana up in it sometimes. But she wasn't allowed in the back part!

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...
