A to Z Challenge - R


PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-LADY RUSSELL
Austen Alphabet18
I know she means well, but Lady Russell is another one of those characters that grates on my last nerve and I can't help but dislike her.

PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-RESORT SPECIFIC
I do like to collect specific merchandise aimed at the Disney resorts I've stayed in (and no, I haven't stayed in them all...yet), but my favorite resort gets the most love, Wilderness Lodge:
Disney R-01
I also like things that "remind" me of the resorts, especially things like Scentsy tarts with fragrances from the resorts (and each resort does actually have a "scent"). There are numerous sellers on Etsy who make Disney-themed wax tarts and I think I've probably bought from all of them at one point. Not all of them are good though, so definitely check the ratings!

Scent is one of the most evocative and nostalgic of the senses - how clever of Disney to have scented their resorts! I have never stayed at Disney but I think Wilderness Lodge would be my favourite too, just from having read about it on your blog.
And we are in agreement again about your JA character of the day - what a pain!

Nice collection, and yes, interfering Lady Russell is well stitched!

Random random random!
Just like my poor choice of R compliment today!

I like Lady Russells dress! and what is a scent tart? hehehe...is that where the expression it smells like a tarts boudoir comes from do you think?

I keep meaning to buy scentsy but keep not doing it lol. I always forget they have their scentsy fragrances.

Wilderness Lodge sounds like it would be a favourite of mine as well.

I agree...Lady Russel is a stuck up snob!

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...
