Just One July-Week 2 & TUSAL

The worse work gets, the more I stitch and, considering I surprised myself with this week's progress, I guess it's not hard to figure out what a HORRIBLE work week I had, even in just four days. I left off on Lilo and Stitch Otherwise here last week:

And I made it to here this week, passing the hundred hour mark for a total of 115.38 hrs:

I will admit one thing though, she sure is pretty! I think the best thing about this project is that every single row has something to look forward to, unlike most projects which have one or two (or five) sucky rows. But it's not all good...the final two pages of this row are gonna suck. Once I get back into that bloody curtain, it's confetti-dithering hell again and I'll slow down quite a bit. At least I have Stitch himself to look forward to in the next row and the biggest surprise of all in the final row (although it still freaks me out a bit and I can't figure out why it's there).

On the Ort jar front, how about my cast-off's get a little motivation courtesy of my second-favorite princess:

If only I could go live my dream...guess I need to figure out what my dream is first (or at least one remotely resembling something realistic). Asper's aren't known for making life goals, let alone reaching them so I might be better off dreaming about the lottery and moving to Disney World than trying to figure out a life path. Oh well, it's time to start preparing for my destined week of misery and stress. Yea me. Oh well, on a positive note, at least I'll get a ton of stitching done!

If there is one small consolation is that you're not alone, we all have those horrible weeks at work :)
Stay positive, there is light at the end of the tunnel and...
look at all the progress you're making! I am honestly not jealous at all, not at all ;)

I'm having a rough time at work at the moment so I feel your pain! At least we can throw ourselves into our stitching. You made great progress. This one is just whipping along!
Heather said…
Holy cow! Crazy progress it looks great! Sorry about work I'm the opposite. The crazier work gets the less I stitch. I think my brain can only handle one thing at a time

Sorry work is so bad at the moment. I'm so happy I only work part time! At least you got lots of stitching done. This design is so cute, I'm really enjoying your progress.

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...
