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.

A bit of ADD

I seem to be a bit all over the place this week. Let me walk you through it. Sunday, I have declared this day to be for 'insanity'. I shall try and keep this up. So Monday, I picked up a new cross-stitch, Mystical Wizard. More on that later but here are the colors. Wednesday, I decided to work on one of my sewing projects. A 17.5" stuffed Christmas tree. I was going to make the 12" one but I had enough fabric if I ignored the included cutting diagram and got away with 1/8" less. But come Thursday, I was tired of my cross stitch. There's only so much I could take of stitching blue on blue, and mainly two colors of blue. Of course the upper left is the least interesting part color-wise of this piece. So I switched to The Accolade. I'll include the last photo I took of it (with my old phone) because I didn't get that many rows finished. But not bad for only two days.   And as today is Sunday, I worked on Insanity again. And...

 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 ...
