A change up

-
No cross-stitch this week. Well, I did work a bit more on Grand Ball but I couldn't keep my mind interested in it. I found myself watching the TV more than stitching. My next few random numbers brought me to new pieces or once that really needed my attention. I didn't quite feel up to that so I pulled an afghan out of the closet.

I made several of these. I also remembered why I put it away. I had to make 32 of them. I have 11 now. 21 to go. Oh joy.

But I made most of this guy today in a few hours. Isn't he a cute little octopus?
If he's anything like the cat I made, he'll be joining my household for a while even if I put him on Etsy. Which reminds me, I need to take a better photo of that shawl I made and put it on there...

On the dance front, I have a partner now so I'll be getting back into competitions soon. Yay!

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...
