Weekly Stitching (still trying!)

Well, I won't spoil anything, but I am happy with the ending I got with Avengers Endgame. It is the absolute best movie I've ever seen in my entire life and totally worth the 11 years investment! So much happened in that 3 hours and 3 minutes and it was amazing how every previous 21 movies played into this epic saga, even the most minute detail you didn't even think was important in some of the lesser movies. I laughed, I bawled (a lot), I yelled, I did cuss out loud, and I cheered, but like I guessed, I certainly was not alone! There was a big guy sitting next to me that pretty much cried every single time I did! I just need the Blu-Ray to come out soon so I can analyze every second of the movie frame by frame and then watch them all in chronological order! But enough about that for now. I went back to working on a smaller stitch project, but I also didn't even stitch anything until Saturday night, so I'm going to start my two weeks rotation this week. I l...

Avengers Day!

I have been a useless waste of space all day! In less than 30 minutes, we leave work early to go see the biggest movie ever and I'm terrified, scared, ready to bawl like a baby (no mascara for me today), scream, cuss, have a complete emotional breakdown and cheer uncontrollably! I would say that something is wrong with me, but the general worldwide consensus is, at least in this case, I am DEFINITELY not alone! I won't be giving any spoilers afterwards and, at least so far, internet people have been pretty considerate not to be as spoiler-y as they were with Captain Marvel, but I doubt that will last through the weekend. But if anyone wants a "private" death count, just let me know. I will admit that I did have a co-worker Google whether or not Captain America dies because I couldn't go into the theater unprepared for that. He went further and saw most all the deaths, but I wouldn't let him tell me...I just needed the one spoiler to get myself emotiona...

Well...I did stitch...something?

Week before last, I didn't stitch at all for no reason in particular and then last Monday happened. As a young girl I was obsessed with Parisian art and architecture in general (although that was probably just the artist in me), but Notre Dame had my full, undivided attention. It was safe to say I was obsessed with it. I studied French in high school for three years and then another two for my first trip through college (although I can't speak a lick of it...I can only watch a French film without subtitles...the joy of an Arkansas education), just to help me when I finally made it over there and I would be able to visit all the places I had seen in books. Unfortunately, I oversaturated myself (as I tend to do when I obsess) and the overall thrill died down, but I never forgot the Lady of Paris and I would always get the warm and fuzzies whenever I would see her in a book or movie. When my Sister first sent me "the" text informing me it was on fire, I thought it ...

Weakly Stitching (and yes, I mean weak)

Last week was HORRIBLE! Between work killing me and my lack of focus, stitching just didn't rank very high on my "to do list" last week. I stitched one night for about two hours. Obviously, I was starting row 5 of Alice and the B's clean (and clean is also a weak comment considering it's been sitting around for over a year and it's obviously EXTREMELY dirty), but this is as far as I got: Pitiful...I'm almost ashamed to show this off! So, even though today is just as sucky as last week (if not more so), I'm going to say that I'm starting Alice and the B's two week rotation over today and not even count last week. We'll see how the next two weeks go and judge from there. I'm hoping that today isn't the measuring stick for the rest of the week or I might be in trouble. I could have done some stitching this weekend, but I've been in such an Avenger's mood and I've started replacing my Blu-Rays with 4Ks (for all the...

Weekly (pitiful) Stitching

Well, Roswell turned out WAY better than I was expecting (at least the first time...more on that in a minute), so much so, that I apparently couldn't watch and stitch at the same time because I was mesmerized! So I literally didn't stitch any this week except for an hour on Saturday and Sunday, bad me! I left off here last week: And my pitiful excuse of stitching ended here for my rotation of this piece: I debated going ahead with a third week considering it got no love in week two, but I decided to stick to my routine and move on. I'm going with Alice and the B's next, and I honestly can't believe I haven't touched them since Nov 2017, but I guess that would be about right, all things considering and I REALLY miss working on a HAED! So I guess I'll be starting on row 5: Once I finished Roswell the first time, I was hooked and started watching a second time (even bought the digital versions from Amazon). I am a sucker for teen-angsty love dramas a...
