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 co...

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...

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...
