DWTS Season 22: Week 6

Cute opening

Kim. Entertaining but the flicks were out rather than down (on purpose?)  She was overshadowed by everyone else around her. Too high for me.

Von. He didn't own the dance. He didn't feel like he went all out. Too high for me.

Jodie. It was mostly lifts and not much dancing. Bit the emotion was there. 8s maybe, not a 9.

Paige. Cute. Very groovy baby. I agree with the scores.

Nyle. I liked it. Better than the previous Quickstep to that song... *cough*  a few timing issues and he could've had a better frame. He wasn't standing up straight. I'll give him the scores.

Ginger. Hehe. Sharp and precise. Didn't get swallowed by the pros. I'll give her the scores. Maybe a little low.

Doug. Clearly could tell the difference between him and the pros. Too high.

Wanya. What can I say? He's good. I agree with the scores.

Antonio. His footwork was sloppy, especially at the end. Too high for me.

And we say goodbye to Doug. Finally.

Although why was Paige in jeopardy? Other than for dramatic tension by the producers.

Eclectic update and more stash

Another busy week coupled with the fact that I spent the majority of my free time over the weekend working on my dress caused me not to have that much done on insanity. I did however manage to finish my three pumpkins this week (and had a full ball left over) and also started the snowman tonight as my brain was too tired to deal with insanity. Although I haven't managed to work on certain projects as I would like, I got more stash. I had to go to joann's to pick up thread for my dress last week. While there, I have a tendency to rummange through the other departments to see if anything catches my eye. Although the cross-stitch section isn't all that great, I did find the following: Sebastian and Sebastian rose by Design Works. I was tempted by two other designs featuring a white cat and a leopard purse and one with a leopard shoe, but I prefered these for some reason, maybe Onyx had an influence. They came as a pack. While looking for the pictures

And the dress is done.

I promised pictures and I have them. Two at least. I'll eventually get action shots but for now you can imagine what happens when I spin. I do have long gauntlets/gloves that I wear with the dress but I forgot to put them on before taking the pictures. I had a long day at the competition, started at 10:30am didn't finish until probably 10:30pm. 61 dances, smooth and latin. Placed top 3 in all except one where I placed 4th. I'm not usually that tan and it still hasn't completely come off. And the white part of my french manicure is now a bit brown as well. I completely forgot to pick up the DVD I had asked to be taped and now will have to figure out how to get a hold of it. Overall I managed to win $600. Not anywhere near enough to cover the costs but more than I've won previously and should give my credit card a nice relief for next month. I had mentioned due to preparation for the competition, I wouldn't have much time for stitching. I was correct. Not

Only 152 more to go. Sort of. Luckily the the last page of the row (17) and the bottom rows (9) are only about 6 stitches wide. This wraps up my 'blue' month SAL for one of my stitching groups. I'll continue to work on this. Oh remember that fabric set I ordered over a month ago ( this one )? It came Friday. Now to make the dress for the September 29th showcase. That gives me four weeks. Thankfully I got the bodysuit done today, or rather the elastic on the bottom. This is one of the few places I can't fudge later on. I'll post pictures of the actual fabrics in another post along with progress on the dress. This will also count as September's 'red' theme SAL for the stitching group.
