SFS2015A - set up

-
Welcome to another year of Stitch from Stash. Some rules have changed. First, there is no exemption month. So no crazy November spending spree without a gift card. Second, You add money to the budget when you complete something. Those are the two that are most important to me.

I have way too many projects as it is. Therefore, to not be picking from a list of over 50. I've narrowed it down to try and work on projects that didn't give me exact-ish floss usage to better gauge what I need to buy next time I go on a DMC raid at Joann's. This gets rid of all kits that I've bought and Golden Kites. HAED's are iffy because they give me stitch counts and I've estimated them on my spreadsheet. I've been left with the following:

  1. In the garden
  2. Fantasy Triptych
  3. black stallion
  4. stargazer lily
  5. Romeo and Juliet (TW)
  6. Cinderellas prince
  7. horses of the apocalypse
  8. legend of spellcasters
  9. legend of dragons
  10. stroke of midnight 
  11. dragon carousel 
  12. best friend
  13. fairy spell
  14. fairy melody
  15. princess and dragon
  16. minstrel
  17. blue dragon fairy
  18. sleepy hollow
  19. midnight waltz
  20. Cinderellas coach
1-6 and already started, the rest are ready to go. There are always exceptions as I'm still working on Peacocks and I will be stitching at least one GK.

    Great idea to concentrate on a lesser number. I'm trying to work on 30 as CJC and this year it includes WIPs, so that works better for me. Fingers crossed you get some finished to add to your stash budget!

    I love the titles of all these patterns! Can't wait to see progress pics. You probably have some already, but I'm behind in my blog reading/commenting and am covering them in order. :)

      I'm pretty sure there are pictures of all the finished patterns on my stash list (a tab at the top of my blog). I know some of the links are broken and I intend to remedy that soon, but it's a start.

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...
