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 matt Rapunzel:

I guess it also shows how different cross stitch can be. No two projects could be so different! I do admit, I prefer full coverage with 1x1 and more realistic, but everyone is different.

I knew immediately that I wanted to go back to The Bride Dollmaker from GeckoRouge, so that's where I went back to Saturday night. Here's what she will look like when finished, for those who haven't seen here in a while (or not at all):

I left off at the first row finish back in January of 2018 when I was regular stitching:

And my attention level was pretty short both Saturday night and Sunday, so this is where I made it to (sad, I know):

I still haven't decided if I'm stitching in rotation for two weeks at a time, or a row at a time, but I'm just kind of going with the flow right now.

No spoilers, but I will say that Captain Marvel was good, but I'm still extremely worried about Endgame since it didn't really answer any of those questions. But it did answer a TON of questions for Agents of Shield, so I went back to watching that show again and, at least for now, my Once habit has been under control for a whole week! Let's see how long it lasts.

There is also really exciting news on the new house front. I've been working hard to pay down my debt, and it's going to take a while, I have a two-year plan, but I've got it down to two house plans and I'm pretty happy with either one. My brother-in-law and his partner has bought a chunk of land to start their own subdivision and I get to pick my own plot, so all should be good there too. I get a nice house in a much safer town (even if it's one I spent my entire childhood trying to get out of), built at cost (maybe less), and can finally have what I truly want, an adult house with a place for the Disney stuff that doesn't take over every square inch of space. I'll be able to give the puppies a yard to play in and to have a yard myself for a garden. Granted, I'll have to get up earlier because I will have a bit longer commute, I won't have as fast internet or access to all the amenities living in a bigger town offers, but I'm cool with that. I'll keep you guys updated as this story develops. As of now, it almost feels too good to be true and I don't want to spoil or ruin it.
