Welcome to 2016

-
2016 is so far starting out well for me. Got a full time job that became official on the first. What a lovely birthday present for me. Yay! Less crafting time, but I'll still work on things.

Onto the stitching. I finished up two projects that had sat partially completed for a while.


 I made the owl tissue box cover. I'll get around to the matching wall hanging and coasters later.


And caught Onyx in a cute moment with her tongue out.


Got this for my birthday which I had been eyeing for a while. Kind of told my parents to get it while it was at the lowest price I had ever seen it at.


Also bought myself a birthday/congratulatory present as Herrschners had given me 15% off as a birthday present.

The last two are backordered until March but I wasn't about to start them immediately. I would've gotten something else but I think it may be discontinued...

      Vervaco, Kustom Krafts, and Craftways. In order if I remember off the top of my head correctly. Although I've gotten a letter that they're having trouble locating a supplier for the last two. :(

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...
