Kitties!

My new cross-stitch project, Kitty Trio. Aren't they cute?
 

Then there's my cute kitty.


And as I was very good but between catching up and Herrschners having a 20% off code (plus 10% from joining their savings club recently), I treated myself to some downloadable patterns.

The last two have fabric requirements for cross stitch or needlepoint.

One thing that I seemed to have mentioned on my blog at all are my two afghan orders from Herrschners. I bought half last month.


The sports pillows and the cat are no longer available on their website. And two are knit. I figure it's a good way to force myself to actually learn. I bought a set of needles a while ago. They're still in the box.

And I was good with ABCstitch's 20% off sale. Stuck with the clearance page with minimal damage.

    I didn't realize that Herrschener's was selling downloadable patterns now. Have to check that out! And I love the first HAED design. I was surfing their website yesterday and found one I really liked. I was on the brink of buying it until I realized that it would take $450 just to buy the floss! It was a huge design charted in Needlepoint Inc. silk. As I'd want to work it in the silk, I'm going to have to think about that one a bit more . . .

      It's not a large selection but they are pretty, mostly designs that appeared in an out of print calendar or magazine. And they have some free ones too.
      You have me curious, what HAED design is done in silks? I thought they only designed in DMC.

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...
