All over the place

-
That's where I was with my crafts this week. I continued with the doily but this latest row I'm doing isn't going very fast. I'm doing a split dtr cluster that attach three rows down and cross each other. You can see what that looks like on the upper right of the doily.
That was two days of work for 1/4 of the way around. My brain just wasn't into it so it was going even slower. So I made another ruffle scarf just for something mindless.

Then I decided to make a new dress. I'd have taken a picture but all I've done is cut all the pieces and stitch a few together. Nothing really to show. That was Thursday.

Then I had a need to cross-stitch. I couldn't do the purple block that was the black stallion HEAD so #15 on my list it was. Ended up being the white tigers.
There's some stitching that's hard to see as it's white on white.

I may need to take tomorrow to do some reorganizing of my craft closet again. It's gotten a bit messy and I may go fabric stash shopping on Friday (not cross-stitch, not against my 'I'm not buying anything else' ban I imposed upon myself)

    It certainly looks like you got a lot done, even if you don't have lots of pics. Love the white tigers, and hope next time you pic up the doily it's not so mind-numbing. :)

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...
