Work is getting down to the wire on my big project, but I'm somehow still stitching! I think I'm just getting to the breaking point at work and I'm starting to give up, so I'm leaving and spending more time stitching. It was bound to happen, I'm an Asper who rarely finishes anything! I had just started Everest last Sunday with one day's worth of work: And when I started to get to the boring sky, I had to stop about mid Saturday (at least I finished the first page): But since it's such a LONG canvas, here's a close up (and forgive the shadow): You can tell I haven't stitched in a while, check out how "bumpy" some of those stitches are! Oh well, I'll get better again with more practice! I was getting bored with the sky background, so I decided to move on mid Saturday instead of my usual Sunday (I didn't want to routine it, but it seems as though that has been exactly what I have been doing, changing out projects every Sunda...

They had put me on this miracle once-a-month shot that had all but stopped my headaches and, the best part was, it was free with this cute little card it came with! But, by the end of last year, the card went away and I have to get prior approval every month, which screws up the schedule, and therefore, the shot isn't as effective, so I'm back to random bouts with migraines that last days on end. Thus was my week last week. It started on a Tuesday and didn't let up until Saturday (and I'm still feeling twinges), so my stitching was minimal at best, and I probably only got as much stitching done as I did because I ended up working less hours at work thanks to my head. I left off on Snow here last week: And stopped her Saturday nite here, stopping at 151.8 hours total: Just basically a lot of mirror fill in and the Petite Treasure Braid that you can't even see unless you are close up (I'm not even sure why it's there). Not only because of my head, ...

I am proud of myself, I can't believe I'm still stitching! I said I would, but that usually doesn't mean much, especially with my current work schedule. I left off on The Bride Dollmaker here: And stopped on her here at 183.13 hrs: I started to get bored and tired with stitching, so I decided to switch projects and it fixed that issue and I think I decided that might be part of my problem. I'm trying to force myself to either stick to a schedule or finish a row when I really should move on when I'm feeling stressed by it. I picked up Snow White, which I apparently haven't touched since November of 2017! How HORRIBLE! I should be ashamed! I left off on her here at the second row finish: And I stopped on her here last night: It's also the first time I've worked on a HAED in FOR-EV-ER! It might also explain why she is SOOO dirty! I tried to wash the little stains off her, and I just ended up making it worse, so I just figured I would just w...

Well, technically not "new" stitching, just stitching in general, but considering it seems like a lifetime since I've been able to stitch at all, I'm counting it as new! I took a few days off, at the WORST possible time ever at work (because I'm about to break...and I'm not sure it helped much, but that's another story), and I spent the entire time, sitting on my butt, watching first the entire Harry Potter movies (which I REALLY need to get in 4K, they look HORRIBLE on my TV on DVD) and then all the Marvel movies in chronological order while I stitched! I worked on The Bride Dollmaker, which I haven't touched since March 31st! I left off on her here, although the time I'm not really sure of: and I stopped early last night, ending at 178.23 hours here: And, since it's been so long, she's supposed to look like this when finished, so I managed to at least touch Frank a bit: Obviously, since it's been so long, I stitched slow, but...
