Stitching update

I seriously cannot believe it's been since February of last year since I touched Maleficent. I left off at the third row finish here:
maleficent082
I started back on her Friday night and worked on her most all weekend. I was kind of proud of myself because I finished almost half a page in less than three days, but it doesn't look like much:
maleficent085
I'm going to continue on with her this week and hopefully will have more to show by next weekend. For some reason, the dithering isn't bothering me as much as it used to...at least not yet.

When it comes to everything else, time is passing very slowly and super-fast at the same time. I haven't had a payday without a house payment yet, so it doesn't feel like nothing's changed on that front and no decision has been made on my job title either. But the possibility of an available building lot that Matt might go ahead and buy and sit on until I'm ready was discussed last week and I spent a lot of time tinkering with my perfect floor plan and scouring the internet for design ideas.

Monday is Amber's 40th B-day! I can't believe my baby sister is 40 years old! How does that happen so fast? Seems like only yesterday my parents brought that little bundle of joy into the house and I spent several years trying my damnedest to torture her! Good thing she forgave me (eventually) because I don't know what I'd do without her now!

Good news all round. I love that needle minder!
I tortured my little sister too and am not sure why she even talks to me but we are the best of friends now. Little sisters are the best. Love seeing Maleficent back out!!

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...
