A to Z Challenge - J


PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-MISS JANE BENNET
Austen Alphabet10
Is it just me, or is Jane a bit on the annoying side? But at the same time, I unfortunately see a lot of her in me as well. Who knew that Austen was writing about me the entire time (and a couple hundred years before I was born, no less).

PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-JEWELRY
Obviously I can't afford the "good" stuff, but I have tons of the cheap stuff, especially when it comes to earrings:
Disney J-01
I don't wear them a lot anymore since one of my ears has almost ripped through (long story involving hoops and holes in an old phone receiver), but I still find myself buying them since they turn colors VERY quickly.

Sorry to say I never liked Jane much, I always thought she was just too nice for her own good!
I can't wait to see the finished alphabet - though I'm enjoying your daily posts too.

I always felt like Jane was unattainably good, although I've met a few people like her over the years and am always amazed. Cool jewelry! And do you mean they change colours of designs quickly? Or that the earrings don't last? Also, OUCH!! that sounds horrible about getting your earring caught.

To be honest, were any of the Bennet sisters very likable? Even Elizabeth was conceited and irritating at times.

Jane always reminds me of the eldest sister in Little Women, a little too good to be true.

The costume stuff is usually the most fun and you have a good selection. As much as I enjoy Pride and Prejudice, I find all the characters a little irritating one way or the other - just some more than others.

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...
