Another late update

I didn't stitch even a tiny bit last week. School has been so hectic and I just haven't had time. Also when I had finally settled down with a Christmas ornament I started last year I have discovered a large discoloured area that smells like urine and I think a mouse has been in my stash T_T I even had it in a packet but it was an open packet and I'm really sad now.

I did find the Anime Girl cross stitch so I can post an update on her :)

I feel so cheated out of time last week though so I am going to split this week with my last week rotation. I still have hopes of finishing one of the Christmas ornaments this month meaning I need to start one, maybe I should just dedicate this week to Christmas ornaments instead because I still don't have a big enough frame for my original plans :P 

(I'm going to fix it on the side)

Late Post

I can't find where I stuck my cross stitch. I strongly dislike visitors. My cross stitch area is one of the couches in the living room and because no one sits in the seat next to me, that acts like my table and I am forced to move everything whenever there are more than 2 people over.

I'll post a picture as soon as I find it :)

Have a great stitchy week :)

Update and New Rotation

I only managed to stitch once this week, I worked on Anime Girl.

Before


After

I didn't get very much stitching done at all because I started back at school this week. School has taken a lot of time, I have already been set 10 pages of homework in one subject and more homework in all of the others. 

I always knew I'd set up a new rotation once I start back at school and I've decided to keep to the same rotation but make it weekly not daily. I'll update the rotation to the side with the dates (this is so I remember it haha) 

Have a great week :)

Quick Update

I didn't do any stitching this week. I did hardly anything at all.
I have one week left of school holidays so I've been getting things ready.
Hopefully I'll be able to stitch next week but it's unlikely because I have to find my math homework T_T

Have a great week :)

2 Finishes and Some Decent Progress

I finished another book (Yay) and started the next in the series (as you can see on the side). I'm a little disappointed with my lack of reading but I'm still 2 books ahead of schedule so that's good I suppose XD

This weeks stitching:

Sunday: I made a new start! Castle Ridge by Teresa Wentzler. I didn't make much progress because I had to frog some of it due to colour mix-up. Sorry for the useless photo, I had to use my useless phone camera instead of my Mums slightly better phone camera XD

Monday: I stitched on both Try to be the person your dog thinks you are and Anime Girl.
Try to be the person... 
Before

After, it's FINISHED :D

Anime Girl

Tuesday: I stitched on the sewing box again, another thing finished as well :D Sorry for the many pictures, it is difficult to take pictures of a 3D object. Sorry for my thumb photobombing all of them too XD
Last of the squares stitched 
Sides 1 and 2

Sides 3 and 4

Lid of box

Wednesday: I stitched on The Ballet, I wanted to stitch on Indian Dresses but I lost my bigger frame and couldn't hold it comfortably.

I got no stitching on Thursday

Friday: I got some stitching done on the Orchid

I haven't done any stitching today either, I was going to but then I made dinner instead and I was so sore afterwards that I couldn't be bothered hunting something down to stitch on.

Have a good stitching week :)

First Week of New Rotation

So I only stitched four times this week which I suppose is alright. I did read 2 books this week as well, Divergent and Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. According to GoodReads that is 1 book ahead in schedule for the 50 books I have planned to read this year. I did start reading Insurgent before the first Percy Jackson but then my book order arrived (Heroes of Olympus: Mark of Athena, and Heroes of Olympus: House of Hades) and I was eager to reread all the Percy Jackson books in my possession.

Anyway my stitching (which is what most of you are here for)

I didn't stitch on the Saturday I made the rotation as I didn't feel like frogging.

Sunday: Whatever I feel like day
I stitched on Anime Girl because after I found it again I couldn't wait to stitch on it again
Before

Monday: Anime Girl, Try to be the person your dog thinks you are, or Shells.
I chose Try to be the person your dog thinks you are.
Before

Tuesday: Small projects/ornaments
I chose the 1998 freebie box thing. I don't know where it's from as it was made before I was born but here it is: 
Before
 
After (Last square started)
I didn't stitch on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, but I did get in some stitching today :) 

Saturday: Princess Aurora, Hand Bags, or any other thing that needs frogging.
I chose Hand Bags as I seriously doubt I'll ever pick up Princess Aurora ever again. I am adding Hand Bags permanently to Saturday ,even though it needs no more frogging, for days when I don't feel like tackling the frog.

Any way that's it for this week :)
Have a good week :D
