FOR REAL Go-Live and switching projects

We are DEFINITELY going live with our new software NEXT Monday at work or I've threatened to go work at Target...no more delays! I'm not sure if I'm excited or terrified, but it's been helping my stitch progress! I left off on Night Wish here last week: And, thanks to a rough work week, I didn't get much further on her, only two days stitching, but she does have more of a defined face with about twenty more colors of purple and pink added to her head (not to defend the little bit of work I did do). There is also more background encroaching upon her, but overall, you can't tell she moved much, so without further ado, here she is: My headaches have also increased, but our weather has gone from the low 20's and snow flurries, to the high 60's and storms and back down to back up. NOT the best for migraine sufferers! Then, on a whim, I decided (late Thursday nite, mind you), that it was time for Alice and the B's to come back out to play. I le...

So much for deadlines, but it's good for my stitching life!

Today is NOT our go-live date for our new software, they pushed it back AGAIN! At first I was mad, but it does make sense and I can slow down a bit and get some last minute things cleared up to make the transition easier (although it won't be easy at all, I'm just trying to make myself feel better by saying that). At least I'm going home at a decent hour and only working Saturdays and NOT Sundays right now, so I'm home more to stitch, although I'm still having issues with wanting to stitch after a rough day at work. And no matter what happens in the future (if I stay or if I go), things will get better...I'm determined to will it so! I left off on Night Wish here last week: And did manage to finish that row of color and get to the girl. She was a LOT harder than I thought she'd be...she has about thirty colors in her tiny little head: And I know the color tint keeps wavering on these...the last batch I actually touched up, these I didn't, so the...

Bit more, but still struggling to stitch!

I'm trying so hard to stitch! The desire is so strong and yet I just don't have the time. It's now a week to go-live and I've got a million and one things to do, but all I can think about is stitching. Typical me, eyes are NEVER on what they should be focused on! But anyhoo, last time I had left off here after several weeks of struggling: And I'm still barely moving, but it's a bit better than last time: At least once I finish this next big batch of color block, I'll be close enough that I can start on the girl without doing more background (unless I decide to switch to another project, but right now, I'm pretty happy sticking where I am...I think I'm looking forward to seeing her appear finally). I'm not sure how much I'll get done this week, but then again, I'm not sure how much work I'll get done compared to stitching...my brain tends to want to wander when I have deadlines looming. Knowing me, I could very well finish t...

Been a rough couple of weeks...

Between TRYING to finalize this new system and switching out computers to Windows 10, I'm just about dead. I've been accused of stealing people's computers without telling them (even though everyone knew what I was doing), I've been yelled at because Windows 10 sucks (tell me something I don't know, it's why I got a Mac), I've been without help from anyone and have been working hours NO ONE should be working, but I still (somehow) managed a bit (a very tiny bit) of stitching. I left off here a couple of weeks ago: And I've literally stitched three days since, but here you go: As of right now, I'm not ready to put her down yet, but that could change. I'm still not sure when I'll get to stitch again because there is still SOOO much work to be done. They keep pushing go-live back on me and I just want it all over with so life can get back to normal, but I doubt that will be for a long while. During a really bad day last week, I did q...
