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:
NightWish043
And I'm still barely moving, but it's a bit better than last time:
NightWish049
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 the row by the end of the week (well, probably not, considering I'm still not back up to my old speed yet but, then again, who knows!).

Your "not much progress" is my "wow, look how much I stitched!" The purples are gorgeous.

I agree with Jo's sentiment - your not much is my yay loads! I hope work is okay and go-live goes as smoothly as possible x

Are the purples in the second picture closer to what they look like in real life? They look so gorgeous! Great progress, even if it's not your usual speed, and yay for (almost) getting to stitch something more than background!

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...
