Merry Christmas

-
Merry Christmas to all. I completely forgot that I made the snowwoman last week. I waited to take a picture until I could secure the nose, but she had tumbled into a hole behind a box and escaped me. I fixed the doily, but was noticing small bumps on my pinky that I hadn't had in a while. So until that clears up, I switched to a normal hook and started on a granny square afghan.


I can also finally show some of the presents I made. The cowl was for a friend I know reads this blog, the pineapple purse for her granddaughter.


This is part of the display at the restaurant we go to on Christmas Eve.


Here's some of Clyde, trying to look innocent before attempting to get in the bag, on the afghan I made my parents, and playing with his new toy.




And now for some presents I bought myself.
I ordered the "dragon theme" Fairy Loot box and this is what came in it, including a yet to be released book (on the right).


These charts were on clearance from HAED.


And clearance from ABC stitch.

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...
