DWTS Season 28: Week 7

Happy Halloween! That was a fun opening. Kel. Not a lot of jive and the bit I did see wasn't that good. He kept his legs too far apart during the chasses and kind of just jumped. It was fun to watch but for the dance he was supposed to do, not the greatest. Too high. James. Two odd transitions, but I loved it. I agree with the scores. Ally. It didn't draw me in. Maybe it was the music. I don't know. Maybe not 9s. but better then Kel. Hannah. Felt like a dance by numbers. Too high. Karamo. Felt frantic especially at the beginning. His hips were too far back. Too high. Lauren. Not bad. The pauses seemed to drop the energy. Tad high. Sean. He looked like he pranced through the jive. Frankenstein was an appropriate character. Too high.  Kate. Props for an actual rumba, but no hips. I'll give her the scores, but maybe worth 7s. Team dance round!  Team trick. Spooky, interesting choreography, lighting a little dark. I agree with the sco...

Onto the backstitching!

Almost there. And I was so good, not buying things. Herrschners had a sale on a pattern that had been on my wishlist. I withheld until Friday when I got a email with an extra discount, spend $80, get 25% off. Which gives me 35% off the already reduced prices from the current sales (most 40-50%). My reasoning was the owls and the framed pieces are quick stitches I can probably make up the purchase price rather quickly like I did with my prior ornaments. The kittens are by the same designer who did my peacocks, Luca-S. There were a few others on my wishlist, but I've seen them priced better than what they are now.

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...
