For someone not stitching...

I sure do buy a lot of patterns! I've been hitting up the usual haunts again, still on the prowl for the perfect Once pattern. I think I probably should just invest in MacStitch and make my own, but for now, I got three more Tilton Crafts, all by Daniel Kordek - the Limited Edition Aurora (which was odd for me since I didn't care for Aurora in Once, I think I just like all the purple in this):
Once Upon A Time-Aurora_000a
Emma and Regina from the Wish Realm:
Once Upon A Time-Emma & Regina_000a
And Zelena:
Once Upon A Time-Zelena_000a
I'm still miffed he didn't do a Charming like the other boys, but oh well. Nothing I can do about that...Kordek told me himself he "didn't care for Charming", so there you go!

I also got another Regina pattern from KPL Creative XStitch (the same store I got the Once Storybook from):
Once Upon A Time-Regina Apple_000a
She had another pattern with Hook and Emma, but it was monochromatic, and I'm already dealing with the monster that is Kordek's Hook on that front, so I declined that one.

Then I cleared out my Etsy queue a bit and got some of the Disney patterns from Awesome Pattern Studio, Cinderella's Castle:
Cinderella Castle_000a
Sleeping Beauty's Castle:
Sleeping Beauty Castle_000a
And Spaceship Earth:
Spaceship Earth_000a
I also got a Mandala Owl because, as much as I HATE birds, for some MAJORLY WEIRD REASON, an owl is my spirit animal (and yes, I've taken every spirit animal test I can find and it ALWAYS comes up with owls!), at least this one doesn't look too creepy scary, so I figured I needed to stitch an owl:
Mandala Owl_000a
That's all I needed, to add to the ever growing stash that will last longer than I have life left, especially since I haven't stitched in months...but there might be a change on the horizon...watch this space for info in the coming days!

Love all the Once pieces. I've been missing for a while due to lots of family stuff. I am loving catching up. --Andrea

Love your new patterns! Especially the Regina one where you can only see one of her eyes. It is stunning!

I love your Once pieces. I definitely think buying patterns/material etc is a separate hobby to actually making them all up - I always buy way faster than I can make! x

Buying those charts is just a way of collecting the artwork really! I do like the style of the Regina design, black fabric would make the easier.
The owl is very cute too. He reminds me of the little clockwork owl in Clash of the Titans for some reason!

I am firmly convinced that collecting patterns and actually stitching them are two totally separate hobbies! That's a great haul of patterns and I'm sure you'll get to them eventually.
That being said, I'm now 2/3rds through Once Season 6 so I actually know dream world Emma now! Ha, I feel so proud LOL

sooo many awesome pictures there! I don't like birds either but there is something about owls that makes them different. You may notice owls are something that I draw VERY regularly. I seem to have an infinity for them as well, they're such a beautiful wise animal.

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...
