Weekly Stitching

This was a horrible stitch week. I've been sick off and on since coming back from Dallas and it hit me hard last week...so hard that I actually called my GP (but he would't see me because I have't been in since 2013 and he wanted to leave early, although I'm not sure what one has to do with the other). I barely made any progress at all on Happy Haunts and, even though I started back on Alice and the B's Saturday, I barely made any movement on Alice's hair. I left off here last time:

and stopped here tonight before the storms hit us:
alice116
Guess it's now readily apparent I decided not to do the April A to Z. Between being sick and some unscheduled extra work days I wasn't expecting, last week really sucked and it pretty much sealed the coffin door shut. Oh well, maybe next year.

Hopefully this will be a better stitch week, but since I'm still sick, I'm just not sure. And now the rain is starting, so I guess I'd better shut it down for the night. Besides, I have a very skittish (and very heavy) puppy standing on top of me while I'm trying to type! Guess I'll do the Stitchy Start post tomorrow.

Ooh pretty Alice! Hope you feel better soon. I'm sure the doctor's logic made sense to him!

I hope you feel better soon. I had one of those weeks during March madness. I still think you've done a fair bit.

That feels like more than I could manage, so still decent, noticeable progress. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Keebles, So sorry to hear you've been sick. I know how miserable that is! Crazy doctor!! You did make pretty good progress, especially considering everything else going on for you right now. Hang in there!

Progress is progress.
Sorry to hear you've been unwell. Maybe the doctor thought you had four years of ailments to catch up on!
I rarely see a GP anyway, I prefer to see a Nurse Practioner because you can usually get a same day or next day appointment with them.

Pretty! I hope you're feeling better! I had a cold/flu that legit lasted for like a month. I feel like I'm still getting over it

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...
