And I remembered...

Supernatural Exorcism...

That's about as "gothic" of a frame as I could get at Hobby Lobby, but I think it works OK. I would have preferred something much darker, but oh well.

I also have apparently been very lax at reporting new stash, probably because I haven't been buying much and I haven't stitched since, well, forever! Maybe, after all this work crap settles down, I can get back to it! But quite a while ago, I broke down and bought two new Jasmine Becket-Griffith's, including my ABSOLUTE favorite piece of her artwork (aside from the Disney's, of course), Strangely Lonely:

I would prefer to have Strangely Lonely super-sized with max colors, but it's not out that way, so I deal with what I have. And I do own this in print form anyway, so my wall isn't missing it. I also got Vampire Dragonling:

I also found a new shop on Etsy that had a FABULOUS Once pattern, and you guys KNOW how much I LOVE Once patterns! They are SOOOO hard to come by. It's Henry's Storybook and, although it's quite simple (and reminds me of the giant brown Jesus head and had me swearing I'd never stitch anything solid brown again), I'm kind of excited about this one!

Her store is KPL Creative XStitch and, she's just getting started, but I'm expecting great things from her store. I'm hoping she'll do the Heroes and Villains book as well, but time will tell on that one. Needless to say, I'm watching her store closely!

Almost forgot!

As crazy as things have been, I almost forgot to show you that I did FINALLY get Snow and Charming framed! I also got my Supernatural Exorcism framed, but I'll have to show that later. So, without further ado (and forgive the glare), I give to you, Snow and Charming!

The main mat is actually more of the color purple where my arms are and the inner color is a parchment like flesh-color that fit in well. Anyhoo, I'll try to remember to take a pic of the Exorcism one too (my brain barely works by the time I get home)...thankfully, I hung Snow and Charming at work, I just had to remember to take it in the hallway to get a pic so I didn't capture anything "delicate".

Disney+ - Day 2

I'm not going to give a day-to-day update, but I do want to share that the shows aren't streaming an episode per day, so that probably means that new episodes of their shows will be weekly (I was SOOO hoping to get the second episode of "The Imagineering Story" last night, but alas, I guess I'll have to wait until next week!).

Oh, and the home screen is now working, but I find it too busy and hard to navigate, so I found myself wandering back over to the side menu, which is ironic since on Netflix I HATE the side menu!

There was no new original content added to the channel on Day 2, but the library of movies and TV shows had grown exponentially. Since I ended the first night on "Descendants 2" and "Descendants 3" isn't on Disney+ yet, I watched the DVD to finish up the series before I dived in on the channel. But then I was ready to hit the channel once again and had a hard time choosing what to watch!

I began with a documentary on the Marvel movies that was kind of old (it stopped at Ultron), but it was still cool and something I had never seen before and, instead of watching something else either completely new or something old I haven't watched in years, I found myself starting on the first Captain America movie and starting all the Marvel movies in order! All of this new, original, or long-time since viewed content and here I am watching Marvel movies I've seen dozens of times (and have the 4Ks that I could watch at anytime)!

But, in my defense, Disney+ does have most of these movies in UHD (or HD at bare minimum) and it's easier than changing discs all the time. They even have bonus content like blooper reels and deleted scenes in the extra categories, which is pretty cool! And, if I'm honest, 95% of the Disney movies (and some of the shows and Mickey Clubhouse stuff) I have on Blu-Ray or DVD too, so there is that. I think that documentary just put me in a Marvel mood. I started "Captain Marvel" (I'm watching them in chronological order), but I fell asleep pretty early into it (and it's not one of my favorites anyway, so that's not surprising).

I just can't wait until the Marvel shows start on Disney+, then I really WILL be a mess!

Disney+ - Day 1

Yes, I was one of those weirdos who booked my Disney+ "reservation" months in advance. I didn't pay for the year or the three-year package, but I did schedule the month-to-month package (just in case I ended up hating it, I didn't want to get stuck with it). I should have known it would be AH-MAH-ZING!!!

I rushed home from work earlier than normal last night (which, here lately, that still meant late), and it was waiting for me on my TV app screen. Granted, the home screen of the app kept crashing, but I wouldn't let that deter me, I just slid over to the side screen and those menus worked, so I had full access to all the content they had up.

I had heard rumors that the first bit of content would be limited, and it was. The new content we were promised was limited to about six to nine shows, none of which were the new Marvel shows I was so looking forward to ("The Mandalorian" was there, but I'm not a Star Wars fan, so I wasn't interested in that). But the catalog of Disney movies, Marvel movies, Disney Channel Movies, Disney Channel TV shows, and all sorts of Disney documentaries was pretty vast! There were some notable exceptions missing that I was wanting to see...Jonas L.A., Sonny with a Chance and a few others, but I think the original Jonas and Lilo and Stitch the Series will still keep me busy for a while!

I started with the new stuff which, for a streaming service, isn't technically "streaming"...it's one episode at a time. I watched "The Imagineering Story" and it about had me in tears. Granted, I've watched dozens of shows about the history of the Disney Company or Walt himself (or even various Imagineers), but this one was definitely a cut above. I don't think I've ever watched such a well produced documentary on the company ever, even the ones done by the Disney company itself (which, by the way, are also on the channel like "Waking Sleeping Beauty", "The Frank and Ollie Story" and several others).

Since the first episode only dealt with the beginnings of WED, making Disneyland, the birth of Disney World and basically ended with Walt's death, I wanted to watch another episode but, unfortunately, because there wasn't another one yet, I had to move on to something else. The preview for the next episode was all about building Disney World (and some future peeks at Tokyo as well), so at least I have something to look forward to, especially if it's as good as the first and has as much unseen content as the first did. I've gotten too used to the binge-watching lifestyle and I don't like reverting back to waiting for episodes of shows. I don't know if they are releasing new episodes daily or weekly, but I may wait to watch some of the new content when the entire season is out just because I don't like waiting.

I debated on watching another original (there was a really cool show called "The World According to Jeff Goldblum"), but instead I went on to the DCOMs, some of which I haven't watched in years, especially "Avalon High", which they never released on DVD for some reason. And then I just got lost in DCOM-land until I fell asleep. I have the feeling, Disney+ is going to keep me busy for a VERY long time!

One thing I did notice, I've seen a LOT of press recently about how the international market (who got Disney+ before we did) has already made "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." the highest rated show on the channel so far, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the show library for the U.S. All the other Marvel shows were there, but not S.H.I.E.L.D. Disappointing for this massive fan of that show. I was kind of hoping that, if the ratings in this country soar too, we'd get a S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off once the series ends next year, maybe something Fitz-Simmons! A girl can dream, right?
