Look books!

Books have appeared on page 2 of Once Upon a Fairytale.


 I also finished part 4 of the Wonderland Wrap CAL.


And since my Mystery SAL kit came Friday, I started stitching that. Managed to get part 1 done. Part 5 comes out Friday so hopefully part 5 of the Wrap doesn't take too long so I can get back to OUaF at some point this week.

Don't know if anyone noticed, but I redid my 'pages' on my blog. I replaced my stash list page with projects. It should be more neatly organized and not have so many broken links. I started with in progress ones that I've worked on since I started my blog. I will continue to update with other WIPs, finished, and the rest of my stash.

Also did some organizing/inventorying of my cross stitch fabrics. I pulled out my "bag of fabric" and made a list of the sizes.


I have a better idea of the hand-dyed ones and hopefully can pair them with some no background pieces (Rudolph and Purple Dragon come to mind). I also made a plan as to what patterns could fit on the 25/28 ct lugana I had. I have 29, plus space two spaces I'm not sure which pattern I want to stitch. I have a 9x13" and 8.5x24" piece that I don't have anything small enough, yet. Might take some that I was going to stitch on 18 ct that don't have blends

Also have a FQ of cream lugana, not sure if I bought it for something specific or if it was on clearance.

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...
