Yes folks, I stitched!

I'm not sure if I was just trying to take my mind off of dwelling on the incredibly terrifying load of work coming my way with building an entirely new LIS system for work or what, but I did stitch this weekend, and it's probably more than I've done in a while (although still not up to my usual standards). I pulled out Maleficent (yes, I know I probably shouldn't call her that, but that IS who she is and, when I bought her from Heaven and Earth Designs, that WAS her name before they had to change it for legal reasons, so I'm sticking to it anyway because it bugs me they changed it to Evil Queen when we ALL know who the Evil Queen is and it AIN'T Maleficent!). Last time I even touched her was row 5 finish back in February 2018:
maleficent133
And, had I not got distracted by TV, I could have easily finished the color on the page I was working on, especially since it was only 10 more rows (but I didn't)...I'm also having issues with playing Marvel Game Quest on my iPad too, so whenever I gain enough lives back, I'm back to game play...but anyway, here's where I got to:
maleficent135
Considering, this is the proudest I've been with stitching in a while! I've been watching Veronica Mars on Hulu gearing up for the new series and, since it's a show I've watched dozens of times before, it makes for good stitching! If I can continue on, there is only row 6 and part of a row with 7 and she's all done! I don't remember her going very fast though and it sure seemed like I was whipping through her this weekend...wonder when she's going to start slowing down? Oh well, as long as I am actually stitching, who cares, right?

Great progress! Every bit counts, and that was quite a big 'bit' :) I agree about the title...at least call her Evil Fairy or something!

You're making great progress 😃💜 I love this piece and I get you about maleficient vs the evil queen they are entirely different people even if I understand why they had to change 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...
