Start the foxtrot

-
I started "Foxtrot" this week and almost have 1/4 of it finished.

On another stitchy note, I won a door prize from the online needlework show. A custom banner from DebBee's Designs. :)

Today, Onyx decided to curl up in a strange place. A box on my Dad's desk. She saw me and picked her head up for the photo but she hates the flash.

Finals are coming up and I have two projects to work on. I need to buckle down the rest of the weekend and not get lazy and stitch.

DWTS Season 23: week 7

Take a trip through the decades. And a second (team) dance Laurie. They lost some of the body contact I usually see from them in hold. But it was fun and entertaining. A little low. Ryan. She danced around him. Why were promenade runs and viennese crosses involved? It didn't match the music. I saw no rumba or hips. Way too high. 5s is generous, 7s are blatant overscoring. Marilu. She couldn't match his energy level at the beginning and it just got worse the farther it went. Too high. But she still did more then Ryan. Calvin. Pretty good. I saw some basic jive steps. Technique wasn't perfect but it was fun. I'll give him the scores. Maureen. That dance felt too slow and soft for the song. Also last time they used that song I think it was a paso. Too high. Terra. Cute. The dress made it difficult to see her footwork and lines. I agree with the scores. Jana. Fun. But her footwork was sloppy during the actual samba steps. A little high for m...

 I started this a while ago. The Marcelle afghan. But I was running out of yarn on the final round. Put it away for a while. Then forgot where I put my pattern. Found it again. Frogged everything and redid it with a smaller hook. Also messed up on round 71 four times and didn't realize it until round 73... There were only 74 rounds. 2nd pic is it on my queen bed. Now to pick a new project...

DWTS Season 23: Week 6

Latin night. Let's see who can bring the sexy. Ryan. He could've used a lot more hips and he was too straight. I don't think it was that impressive. Too high. Terra. Didn't feel the anger too much. Hard to see her stomping on the floor. A little high. Amber. Her leg action was a bit off. Locksteps were odd. Could've used her hips more. Too careful. I'll give her the scores. James. I saw nothing rumba relayed from him. No hips, no basic steps. He ran or hopped between poses. What were the judges looking at? Too high. Marilu. Still felt careful and proper to me. Once again locksteps were odd. Not enough hips. Too high for me. Jana. That was interesting. The heavy downbeat in the song wasn't really Argentine tango. It was sexy. A bit high for me but I'll give her the scores. Maureen. Where were the hips? Where was the bounce? Ana Artem was taking more steps than her in parallel step patterns. Too high. Calvin. Another ...
