DWTS season 18: week 4

-
Candace w/ Tony. It was cute. Her frame could have been better. I realize it was rock and they could get away with wild a bit more. I'll agree with the scores.

James w/ Cheryl. I liked it but felt he was landing either flat foot or top toeing around. His lower body looked awkward, either because of the previous observation or causing. He could have closed his feet more too. Can I have her dress? Don't know if it was 9s given his position.

Drew w/ Whitney. Entertaining as always but felt small and stiff. No hips except the thrusting. Not his best dance. He does better with ballroom. Over scored.

Danica w/ Maks. The kicks and flicks were very good. It was a fun number. Cute ending. The high heeled sneakers looked odd. I'll agree with the scores.

Charlie w/ Peta. It seemed to be a lot of spinning, and Charlie going low to switch sides. There wasn't much I could point out was syllabus. No hip action. Don't think it was 9s.

Amy w/ Mark. A basic salsa. The music didn't sound like a salsa. Kind of slow in addition. 8s yes, maybe not 9s.

Cody w/ Sharna. It was jerky in the rise and fall. Almost all movements were initiated with a jerk and then went smooth. Which isn't really foxtrot. The song didn't help with that either. A tad high maybe?

Nene w/ Derek. Um, she didn't move much. She pretty much stayed in place. And it didn't seemed jazz too me. Too high.

Meryl w/ Val. Odd song choice for Argentine Tango but they made it work. Very sexy routine. I'll agree with the scores.

Eclectic update and more stash

Another busy week coupled with the fact that I spent the majority of my free time over the weekend working on my dress caused me not to have that much done on insanity. I did however manage to finish my three pumpkins this week (and had a full ball left over) and also started the snowman tonight as my brain was too tired to deal with insanity. Although I haven't managed to work on certain projects as I would like, I got more stash. I had to go to joann's to pick up thread for my dress last week. While there, I have a tendency to rummange through the other departments to see if anything catches my eye. Although the cross-stitch section isn't all that great, I did find the following: Sebastian and Sebastian rose by Design Works. I was tempted by two other designs featuring a white cat and a leopard purse and one with a leopard shoe, but I prefered these for some reason, maybe Onyx had an influence. They came as a pack. While looking for the pictures

And the dress is done.

I promised pictures and I have them. Two at least. I'll eventually get action shots but for now you can imagine what happens when I spin. I do have long gauntlets/gloves that I wear with the dress but I forgot to put them on before taking the pictures. I had a long day at the competition, started at 10:30am didn't finish until probably 10:30pm. 61 dances, smooth and latin. Placed top 3 in all except one where I placed 4th. I'm not usually that tan and it still hasn't completely come off. And the white part of my french manicure is now a bit brown as well. I completely forgot to pick up the DVD I had asked to be taped and now will have to figure out how to get a hold of it. Overall I managed to win $600. Not anywhere near enough to cover the costs but more than I've won previously and should give my credit card a nice relief for next month. I had mentioned due to preparation for the competition, I wouldn't have much time for stitching. I was correct. Not

DWTS season 16: week 8

Next week is the semi-finals. Eek! Zendaya. A happy foxtrot. Odd music, but it worked. Smooth and graceful. I'll agree with the scores but depending on the rest of the night they could be higher. Sean. He looked like he was thinking too much. His posture was leaning towards Peta and his butt was sticking out. I guess I'll agree with the scores. Jacoby. I felt as if he could have stood up straighter. His footwork looked a bit odd at times. Ingo. It wasn't bad, but he could've been smoother in the footwork. He stepped back instead of gliding. I guess I'll give them the scores. Kellie. Why was she in place so much at the beginning? Then when they finally start to dance, I couldn't see her feet because of the fog. It was pretty. Scores are a little high for me. Aly. Something was missing but I can't figure out what. I didn't think it wast the best of the round. Trio dances. One of the newer sections they I really like. Zendaya. Thank you for
