Sew Dance

I've finished all the cross stitching. A close up of the faces before backstitching. I've gotten most of the border done, but I realized when I went to get a new length, I used the wrong color for the castle. So now I get to frog all of that.

I'm getting close to finishing. The border and the faces shouldn't take too long. But then the backstitching begins. And the beads...

Page 3 reminded me why I do parking with confetti heavy pieces. Damn you ninja stitches! Also, I was a bad girl and bought more stash. Herrschners had 33% clearance and HAED had 50% off charts... I realize the sweater is a knit pattern, but I am going to teach myself to knit. Eventually... And the dragons are no background so I can use pretty dyed fabric and they should take less time. Now to decide if I want them on the same fabric or coordinate per dragon.

I switched from Insanity because of the green, but I'm still doing green. At least I can intersperse it with another color. I'm getting near the bottom of my fabric. Apparently, I miscalculated my margins when I started this piece. I will have far less on the bottom than the top, but at least I won't be short. And my rose bush is in bloom again. For once, it didn't get buried under a pile of snow for months.

Amazing how much I can get done when not working all week (aside from trying to find a job). Page 2. I'll fill in the border when it's farther along. As such, this will be my last stash purchase for a while. (Damn you Herrschners) And I shall try to not start anything new until I've finished at least 2 wips. An afghan I'm making for a wedding present being the exception.

Last episode of the season. Who will bring home the mirrorball? Simone. That was a short little dance. Heather is probably the only female celebrity that could've blended in with that routine. Maybe normani. Heather should be in the finale.  I have no idea who this singer is. I liked the dance.  Love seeing the boys dancing. Although it could've used more Maks.  Thankfully Charo and Mr T. didn't dance during that number.  Bonner. He seemed a little stiff but seemed to match the boys better than the last time.  Nancy. Still no bounce. She also seemed to get a little lost on the battucatas. That was a silly produced piece. Hehe.  Nick. Still not enough hips.  David. Still a bit of an uncomfortable routine. Bloopers!  Charo. Thankfully her guitar playing is better than her dancing.  Yay. Another pro dance.  Rashad. How did he not clean up his footwork?  Heather. I said it earl...

The redemption dance.  David. He looked rushed and flat footed. His butt was under better. They gave him one of the easiest dances to redo. Too high.  Normani. Interesting outfit choice for a quickstep. But it was good. I agree with the scores.  Rashad. Much better than decks although I felt he was a bit blank in that face while in hold. His footwork was actually good in this dance. I agree with the scores.  Why did the guys get the easiest ballroom dance while Normani got one of the hardest?  Freestyle round.  David. I found it kind of entertaining. But very simple and a bit repetitive. too high but I'm not surprised.  Normani. Thank you for basing this dance around a ballroom style. I agree with the scores.  Rashad. Fun. His feet were back to being pretty bad. A little high for me.  We shall see who wins tomorrow night.
