Stitched again!

I had to push myself very hard to keep focus, but I managed to stitch this weekend! I left off here:
Stitch044
and made it to here tonight:
Stitch048
I am determined to finish this project before the end of the year, but unless I find a way to get my stitch mojo back, I'm not sure how. I REALLY want my stitch mojo back though. When I think all the projects I had planned to finish by the end of this year, it makes me cringe because I failed miserably. This has not been my year all the way 'round. It's still a bit early to think of next year just yet, but I have to make it better...somehow. Happy thoughts, right?

That's nice progress though. Maybe you would be better off just deciding WHAT you are going to stitch on and not worry about how much you get done.

You should be proud of what you've achieved so far on the project!!! It would have taken me YEARSSSSS to work on such design :)
I love it and am so glad you've managed to work on it a bit more.
I'm sure you can finish it before Jan 2017 come!!

I think you made great progress this past weekend Keiley. I wish I could get that much done in a weekend. Your mojo will return. I've been having a pity party for the last couple months but am trying to pick myself up. You can get it done by the end of the year.

Excellent progress! It may not feel like as much as your usual, but it's definitely a lot, certainly more than I would manage in a weekend. Like Bea mentioned, maybe it would help to think of what you want to work on. For example, since the dithering is such a pain, skip working on those projects for a bit if you have something older without dithering that you'd like more, etc. Good luck!

Honestly, be proud of how much you've stitched. You make more progress and finish more projects than many people I know and I include myself in that. I'm in awe of how fast you stitch. Just focus on finishing it, doesn't matter if it's this year or the next as long as it gets done :)

I'm with everyone above. I'm glad your stitching again and just go your own pace. Every little cross helps you get closer to a finish, it's what I tell myself. Even if I only do 10 for a day.

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...
