DWTS Season 25: Week 1

Cute opening. Welcome to season 25.  Terrell. Good when he's not doing cha cha. I saw heel leads and technique was almost non existent. I'll give him the scores for the entertainment factor.  Debbie. Pretty. Her frame needs some work. I don't know how she'll handle Latin. I'll give her the scores Sasha. She seemed to get behind or forget the steps at the beginning. Not much cha cha. A bit careful. A little high.  Drew. A bit fast for a foxtrot and his footwork was messy. He tried. Height difference is going to be a problem. Ill give him the scores. On par with the other dancers so far. Barbara. Too many stops. Too careful. No hips. Too high?  Jordan. First potential finalist I've seen. Might be a bit too hyper. Hopefully he can pull off Latin. I agree with the scores.  Nick. Knees were bent the entire time. Wasn't very good. I'll give him the scores but a tad high.  Vanessa. Much better than her husband. Weight was a bit b...

A head!

The top of one anyway. Finally something interesting has appeared. And I have created an Instagram account for Clyde. https://www.instagram.com/clydewildhousepanther/

half of page 2

I'm slightly more than halfway through page 2, but I still have 15 more rows before anything interesting appears. Although there was one row that had 7 stitches of the same color in a row (gasp!) I had a very busy week that included 2 interviews. It was capped off by being out of town this weekend for a wedding and was unable to stitch for 2 days. It was in the foothills of the Catskills and I was calling it the boondocks as I saw lots of corn, cows, and deer. And my hotel had no cell reception. Thankfully it had WiFi so I wasn't completely cut off from the outside world. And here's a pretty picture of Clyde who was tired from chasing the red dot.

DWTS Season 25: Cast

The cast has been revealed for season 25. 25? Ack. Shark Tank entrepreneur Barbara Corcoran with Keo Motsepe The last shark that came on the show was not good, but he ended up marrying his partner so I think that was the better prize. I don't think that will happen this season. Hopefully she'll surprise me with her dancing, but I'm not holding my breath. ’80s icon Debbie Gibson with Alan Bersten Congrats to Alan for being made a pro. I know of Debbie, but she was before my time for me to really know anything about her. NBA player Derek Fisher with Sharna Burgess No clue who he is, but I assume he's tall and will have trouble with the frame due to height differences. Thankfully Sharna is one of the taller pros (although she's probably still shorter than me) Property Brothers star Drew Scott with Emma Slater Drew should be likable even if he can't dance. But at 6'6", he's another tall guy who may have trouble with the height difference i...

Still background

Still nothing very interesting happening yet. Pretty, but not very interesting. So I leave you with Clyde. I'm thinking of making an instagram account for him or a facebook page. Clyde 'crazy kitty' with the tagline "Cats are supposed to sleep at least 14 hours a day. He didn't get the memo."

More (alternative) reality

Image
Not quite as much done as last week, but I did take a bit of time to make a scarf. Almost 30 rows on page 2.

Back to (Alternative) Reality

Image
So to pick my project, I pulled out my drawer of WIPs, closed my eyes, waved my hand and then dropped it. Whatever project it landed on, I would work on. Turns out it's Alternative Reality. Got 16 rows done this week (only upside to still being out of work). Also had this little guy land on my project yesterday. I had it on my hand, went to get my phone and just as I was about to take the photo it flew off. Finally landed on my couch where I snapped the photo. Got it back on my hand and somehow managed to open my window and screen and get it to fly away. Not sure how it got in in the first place. And Clyde likes to jump in open cabinets. Silly cat.
