Current progress on Once Upon a Fairytale (.5%).


I've started using Pattern Keeper on this one because my print out it unreadable on some tiny symbols. So far so good, but I will need a tablet to fully do a piece with the program. Was trying to use my old kindle fire, but the operating system is too old. Currently researching cheap androids so I don't have to deal with putting Google Play on it. Suggestions welcome.

As I'm going to have some free time, is there other content you'd like to see from me? On the days my dice roll has me inventorying my stash, I figure I'd make a post about some of the yarn/fabric I'm not sure what project to make with it. Suggestions welcome, even if I would have to spin it off into another blog.

    It's your blog post whatever makes you happy. Beautiful progress on this one. As far as I understand google play is the operating system for Androids and you would have to have it installed to have a working android. Good luck finding the right thing you need.

      Found an old 10" sumsung tab 4 at my parents tonight, so score.
      I'm pretty sure Android is an operating system while google play is the app store. Granted I don't know what would happen if you somehow deleted the app that gets you all other apps.

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

Another blanket

 I started this a while ago. The Marcelle afghan. But I was running out of yarn on the final round. Put it away for a while. Then forgot where I put my pattern. Found it again. Frogged everything and redid it with a smaller hook. Also messed up on round 71 four times and didn't realize it until round 73... There were only 74 rounds. 2nd pic is it on my queen bed. Now to pick a new project...

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.
