A month of stitching updates.

-
I haven't updated in a while. Oops. Started with Cirque des Circles.


Switched over to Once Upon a Fairytale for a while. I was stitching along and got to an 09 in the blue which looked odd. So I ripped out most of the 09 I had already done and restitched. By that point I wasn't into the pattern anymore.


Started a new one Lord Melton the Stitching Dragon. I didn't get very far because of all the quarter stitches plus being somewhat braindead that week didn't mix.


So onto RTO's Tango. Worked on this for about two weeks while trying to finish the latest draft of a script.


Finished the draft and now want to work on something else. So I picked up Royal Games I just now.

Also got a dragon on a spellbook. Rather large at 18x18.

    Love the colour you're using for Circles. The final dragon picture could be cropped to get rid of the top and bottom so it's just the dragon and book, the interesting bits!

      Thanks. As for the dragon, I have a tendency not to crop photos I take. I also clipped a wing off in my framing. I think I was trying not to get my garbage can in the shot.

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...
