Weekly Stitching (Finally)

First of all, I probably should apologize for the rant from Monday morning, but I'm not going to. I'm just as mad now as I was Saturday. I will however concede that mentioning parts of my childhood that I have not yet discussed on my blog was probably not wise. Yes, I had a very horrible childhood in more ways than one, but I dealt with it in general and moved past it. It's the reasons why it happened in the first place that I can't get past and when that can of worms gets opened, sometimes through the most random of means, Greek fire rains from the skies and it literally takes divine intervention to make it stop. As of now, fires are still ranging out of control. But that is a whole other story for another day and I'm here to show some stitching progress now!

I left off on Suteki here last week:
suteki028
And due to the fact that I lost my two best stitching days between Saturday and Sunday, I only made it this far:
suteki032
Every ounce of responsibility in me is screaming that I need to go back to Happy Haunts and at least get something done before the end of the month for the New Stitchy Start Blog, but my heart just isn't in it. Frankly, right now, my heart just isn't in anything. I debated on continuing with Suteki for another week (to at least make up for the missed weekend), but now I can't look at it without thinking about the missed weekend.

Maybe I just shouldn't stitch at all tonight and see where I am tomorrow. If they killed my stitchy bug along with my tree...well, I better not put it in writing in case it could be used against me in a court of law!

I'm so sorry about the whole situation and yes dammit, the fact they messed up your usual weekend of stitching is on them too! You don't have to finish anything by the end of the week, you need to play with the pups and listen to Duran Duran and watch some British TV.

It's looking great! I can't believe they killed your tree. I'm glad you let them know how you feel. And that it was so not okay. And even more so that you're unapologetic. That's why we have our blogs is to talk about whatever we want :)

You don't need to apologize for anything! This should be a place where you can get whatever off your chest you want. It is your blog and we all love you :) Suteki look super! It may not be as much progress as you wanted but it is still progress. I think you should pick the project you most want to stitch on right now and stitch it for a week, don't worry about what you should or shouldn't be stitching on.

No need for apologies Keiley. You still got some great progress done this week.

No need to apologize, it is your space and feel free to rant if you need to :) Shame all this malarkey has affected your stitching. You still made progress despite what is going on. I hope your stitching mojo is still there. Perhaps you should work on something new, it could feel like a new positive start. I love the voodoo doll one!! Hint!! ;)

You are absolutely entitled to rant if you want to.
We can still see the progress on Sutecki and I can see how much you usually get done during a weekend.

Suteki is beautiful! I see an amazing amount of progress in what looks to be a high confetti part of the design, so well done, you!!!
It's your blog, my darling, rant away. It's healthy to get these things out, so let it rip.

Coming over here from the blogger of the week because I wanted so see and read more about you and your stitching - I agree with my pre-posters, you are entiteld to rant her in your space all you want, especially for what your parents did - killing a living thing, and be it 'only' a plant, is something that can never be undone, and there for, should never, ever be done without good thought and permission of the owner of that plant! I understand how something like this can make old frustrations bubble back to the top as well. For now, let me just end by saying that your stitching is marvelous, and I hope you'll find some more time to progress this week, if you feel like 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...
