SFS2015 - May

Month: May
Spent: 43.67+$50 gift card
Earned: 27.56

I finished a page on In the Garden and finally get to count Peacocks.


I also started Sleepy Hollow.


And in non-cross stitch projects, I finished the following.

 

I know the shirt doesn't look finished, but I did it right before writing this post and don't have a picture of it.

And now, there's the stash. Top yarns are for an afghan for a friend. The next is my ordered yarn, and the 3rd picture are ones that came with that order which I can only assume were free gifts.



And then there were the sales. I refrained from ABC Stitch's 20% off sale, but caved at Herrshners which had certain kits priced at 19.99 or lower. Making one I had been eyeing, 50% off.
Then this cutie pillow.
And these two ornaments.
I also took advantage of Joann's Memorial Day sale along with a gift card to acquire stash. Sewing patterns, some fabric (including a leopard print), lots of DMC (not pictured) and two patterns. The gift card covered the cross-stitch portion of the stash.

Wizard by Design Works.

And Dragon Circle.
Good thing only cross-stitch stash counts for this challenge.

    Sleepy hollow looks so fun, I love the fabric you're using.

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...
