TA-DA!!

Well, after yet again another bad stitch week, I somehow managed to finish Snow and Charming! I didn't get the extra outlining done that I talked about doing, but that's OK...I've never done it before and all has been well. It was just a thought anyway. I left off here last week:

Here is the last finished row...55,728 stitches completed for a total of 282.15 hrs (geez, I gotta work on my speed!):

And after unscrolling, ironing to get out gridlines, here they are! They look so big, but it is only barely 8 x 10

I still need to wash them, re-iron, mount and take them somewhere for framing, but that will get done. Looks like I need to watch my stretching too because they are a bit crooked (but it was the fabric). If I take it to Joann, I make also take in my Supernatural Exorcism stitch to get it framed too...I doubt Hobby Lobby would touch it with a ten-foot pole and I have yet to find the perfect frame for it. I have actually mounted it on foam core, but in a way that doesn't support a mat. With the right frame, I don't think it will need one (I just don't have a picture of it mounted):

Since I finished so late last night, I didn't get to switch to anything else, but I did decide the "smartest" thing to do was to at least clear down the queue a bit and finish Rapunzel. I could technically whip her out in as little as a month or less, so she's my best option and will give me the time I need to decide what to do about Hook. I left off on her here back in July:
Rapunzel-014
I started to load up Maleficent first, since I only have two rows left of her, but I ran across Rapunzel digging through the WIPs and knew she was the quicker option, but Maleficent might come next. I haven't worked on her since last February, but even with two rows left, that's two HAED rows of full-on dithering...at least two or three months of work, depending on how full the final row is:

I really like the thought of cutting down my WIPs (or maybe starting some new ones...I'm not sure which).

Oh my goodness it is lovely!! Congrats! My sister is stitching the princess set from DonaStitch but I don't think she has stitched Rapunzel yet. They are just so pretty and different.

It looks great! I would say do a WIP but I know how tempting a new start is :P
Congrats on your finish! I think your speed is more than fine, that was some very fast stitching. Snow and Charming look great and I'm looking forward to seeing Rapunzel coming together as well now :)

Congrats on the stunning finish Keiley. I don't care what you say, I still think you are the fastest stitcher I have ever seen. Looking forward to seeing progress and a quick finish on Rapunzel.

Huge congrats on finishing Snow and Charming!! That is such a cool one. Also nice choice on Rapunzel next. Love the quote, still haven't watched all of Supernatural yet.
Congratulations on the Happy Dance for Snow and Charming! The bottom is so pretty, I thought it was going to be boring black shadows but it's lovely and interesting to stitch too.

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...
