Just One July

As sucky as work has been lately, I decided that maybe I just need a good challenge, so I think I'm going to join in with Justine's Just One July SAL. I haven't found an official signup list, but I know that my friend Tiffany is also joining in (and she's doing a giveaway as well). Of course, it's not too difficult to figure out which project I will be stitching on, Lilo and Stitch Otherwise by Neni Designs:
Lilo and Stitch otherwise
I am ending the month here, at almost the first row finish:
Stitch016
And I'm not sure where the month is going to take me, but I'm hoping to finish, or get close to finishing, the first three rows. It's a huge goal but maybe a lofty goal is just what I need right now (or it could just kill my stitching mojo altogether, guess we'll see!).

Hurray! Glad to hear you're joining me. There is no official sign-up page as it's just an informal SAL but I'll put a link to your blog from mine.
Three rows should see this almost finished, no?

I love the JOJ challenge and this is perfect piece. I'm going for Dragons for my focus pieces. I have two because one will be an easy finish.

Awesome progress Keiley. The way you stitch, you should have this one done by the end of the month. I'm joining in too with Sleeping Beauty. I still have to do some starts also.

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...
