I've been a bad girl

-
I didn't work on any cross-stitch this week. I was crocheting only. I got one side of the ripples done on the afghan.


But because of the repetitiveness, I alternated with a doily. I had done some of this earlier during one of my long breaks at school. When I got bored with making scarves.



But now for the reason for the title of this post. I've been very bad this week with acquiring stash.

Let's start with some I purchased these a few weeks ago at a local store, Annie's and Co., but kept forgetting to add them to my posts.

Be A Dragon by Enchanting Lair (came with the variegated thread and the charm)

28ct Cashel in Jade by Enchanting Lair (it's darker than the photo)

Mermaid's Love Tokens by Praiseworthy Stitches (came with the beads, pin, and fish)


I don't know what made me look at sew and so's site, but I did. And I noticed one of my wishlist items was discontinued and they only had 3 left in stock. So I caved and bought it. Along with the other dance themed ones I had found earlier, and 2 that I didn't previously. I browsed the sale page and found one (also discontinued), and then noticed a companion piece.

The two discontinued ones, Street Tango by Vervaco and Argentine Tango by RTO.

The others. Dance Me Out, Put on Your Red Shoes, and Studio Tango by Anchor, Foxtrot by RTO.


The sale items, both charts. The Priestess by Mystic Stitch and Unicorn Princess by DMC

Friday, due to coupons, I picked up these because I thought they were cute.

Also picked up some fabric remnants.
And patterns

I've been a very bad girl...

    I love the frogs Katie and that top with the lacing in the back is beautiful. Will that be for another dancing dress?

      Thanks, the frogs are cute. As for the top, I may use elements. It's actually the jacket part of an entire Victorian ensemble. I've put the pattern numbers on my pinterest board http://pinterest.com/khascat/sewing-patterns/ It has a slightly different picture there, but it's in the same fabric.

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...

DWTS season 19: week 7

Tommy. It was muddy and he seemed to forget some of it. As usual. I notice they didn't mention the break in hold during the dance. Too high. Lea. It felt careful. It could've used more power, controlled power. It felt like she was walking through it. Not worth 9s. Bethany. I liked it and her dress. I think she missed a step during a side by side but got caught up. There were moments she could've filled instead of just pausing. I don't know if it was 10s definitely 9s. Antonio. Not a lot of actual Viennese Waltz. He didn't do much. I agree with the scores. Michael. Just, no. 5s are generous. Janel. A tad slow for a Viennese Waltz. But it was interesting. A little low. Alfonso. She danced around him a lot. I didn't see too much hip action. Technique needs work. I'll give him the scores based on performance. Sadie. The character didn't work with the dance. She was too loose. I'll give them the scores. Team dances Its...
