SFS2014 - Wrap Up

-
Well, the year is over. I know I did a December post, but I felt like I should do a bookend post to mirror this one.

So, I stitched from my stash and really didn't buy anything new until November. That's when I used the exemption and went a bit crazy. In my defense, I did finish 6 things I bought at that time.

Beginning of the year I had a run on fabric, and the summer was a major yarn haul.

Key:
Bold = current WIP
Italic = kit
Strikethrough = finished
Red = started this year

  4. Black Stallion
  5. Buterfly Pillow (needlepoint)

  50. Romeo & Juliet 
  51. Cinderella and the Prince
  52. Cinderella's Coach
48-52 are ones I had mistakenly left off the list when I made it. I was reminded up them while I was reorganizng my stash. The following are new

    1. Kitty Trio
    2. Indian Peacock
    3. Peacocks (Anchor)
    4. The Oriental
    5. Friends
    6. Leopard in the Grass
    7. Blue dragon fairy
    8. Sleepy hollow

The only thing I got done on my original crochet list was the Starburst Afghan. I did make progress on the Cathedral Rose Window one though. Everything else I finished was a new project from my various yarn hauls during the summer. Oops.

I didn't do too well with my original sewing project list either. Just the cat the the Xmas tree.

So 7 projects finished that were in my stash when I started. 23 total completed.

I need a new system for next year, besides keeping me out of the stores and away from sales. Also a smaller list of projects to pick from, which I believe I've figured out. Stayed tuned for a post on SFS2015!

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...
