A to Z Challenge - M


PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-MISS MARIANNE DASHWOOD
Austen Alphabet13
Although she comes around in the end, she's another one of Austen's characters that I'd love to just slap in the face and scream "wake up you idiot!". As far as the stitching goes, what's worse than one French Knot? Six, of course. I hate them, I'm bad at them, I hate them, they never stay put, and did I mention I hate them?

PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-MOVIES AND MUSIC
This category should come as no surprise, but it's still ever changing. It went from VHS, to DVD, and now to Blu-Ray and since Disney only releases movies every 7 years, it takes a long time to adjust a collection.

And then there is the music. Most is digital, but I still have some CDs (and I'm most proud of my park collection)

Not sure if this will help but I find using a larger needle makes French knots better and I only wrap the thread around 2-3 times :)

Awesome collection Keiley. I found the secret to my french knots. After you wrap the floss and put the needle back in the fabric, hold the wrapped floss on the needle and pull the floss end as tight as you can before you finish pulling the needle through the fabric.

Feel exactly the same about French knots - unmitigated pains in the . . . . (whatever you choose).

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...
