Weekly Stitching - a bit on the late side

I was on "vacation" last week which, as we all know, means I still had to get up every single day and drag my sorry butt into work and do those lovely little tasks that only I can do as well as handle multiple phone calls and texts throughout the day. Yea me. Despite the put-in hours, I still managed to get horribly behind on my job and have struggled to get caught up, hence the late post. I did get quite a bit of stitching done on the Bride though. I left off here last time: And finished Sunday night here: Her face looks a bit freaky right now, but I'm excited to see a little Freddy head appearing! I've decided to go in two week rotations, so I'm continuing with her this week although, at least so far, I haven't been able to touch her because I've been getting home so late. I finished up Agents of SHIELD, and lets just say, there is a reason why I don't watch active shows anymore...I HATE sucky cliffhangery season finales! At least I don...

Weekly Stitching - finally a finish!

I piddled all week with Rapunzel...I should have had it finished in one night...instead, I spread it out over three days and barely got it finished at all in the week! I left off here last week: Finished the row on Saturday: And here it is in all its glory: I wish I had a dime for everytime I kept knocking my stand over, which in turn would also knock over my cup of iced tea. I would check my fabric to make sure I never got tea on it, but apparently I missed a spot or two because, once I ironed off the grid lines, there were tea spots everywhere. Hopefully, washing it will clean it up. If not, I guess I will have to make sure the framing covers them. You can see them much better without all the grid lines: And it's also amazing how quickly I finished Rapunzel (151.63 hrs), so maybe my speed is picking up. Oh, and just for the record, here is the size difference between Rapunzel and Snow and Charming, although I figure they will still frame up the same if I don't ma...

Weekly stitching and sucky spoilers - update

Well, I didn't finish Rapunzel last week, despite my best efforts. I didn't have any headaches, just work-aches. I left off here last week: And at least made it this far by last night: I'm not going to jinx myself and say that I should finish this week, especially after last week, even though I have less than half the third page and the fourth page isn't even a full page and all the outlining is already done. As sure as I say I'll finish it, I'll have another horrible week and I certainly don't want to go through another last week! I did try, yet again, to break my Once habit. I watched The Order on Netflix and it was OK, but I hope they get a second season because I didn't like the way it ended. I got caught up on all the Disney movies I was behind on (basically, everything out since Moana), so that's done. Other than Ralph Breaks The Internet, the rest weren't that great. Then I just went back to Avengers Infinity War on loop to d...

Weekly Stitching and other things

Thanks guys (especially Linda) for the information about DoNa Stitches. I have all eleven, so I must be good. I probably will never get around to finishing them all anyway, but it's nice to know, even if she never comes back, I do have the complete set so far. I also have to say R.I.P. to Luke Perry. 90210 wasn't my kind of thing (although I did watch it upon occasion), but I was a huge MOVIE Buffy fan (not the TV show...you guys knew I was weird, so I'm sure you're not shocked), so I've been a fan of his forever and I liked seeing him on Riverdale. I just hate it when the good die young and it makes me mad, especially when there are tons of horrible people running around out there suffering no consequences whatsoever. Fate is a horrible bitch. He shouldn't have been taken from us, but I am sorry for his family. He will be missed. But anyway, back to our regularly scheduled program, I think I must have jinxed myself last week because, instead of endin...
