5 IN A ROW

It's week two of very little work hours, and it's been fun, in fact this weekend I have 5 days of in a row, just in time for IHSW. And I'm going to make the most of it, including hanging out online with Carla and anyone else that shows up, Family has been warned, I am not to be dragged anywhere as a chauffeur at all.  My regular weekend lunch date is even out of town, so I am freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stitching this week was very productive. The year of TW project is going faster than expected, if I keep up this pace I'll have it ready for Fall Fair, not what I was planning, was going to use The Butterfly for fair this year and Stroke of Midnight (hereafter called Cindy) in 2015, if I finish in time I'll have to figure out a way to enter both.







The bookmarks also went well, almost finished Stark, maybe even later tonight.  However they made me buy things, I was hoping to get away with buying nothing this month, therefore starting of Stitch For Stash with a bang, but instead I found the perfect sticky sided felt for the backing and even some tiny grommets to make the fabric safer for the hanger thingees, it's also going to make me buy some more thread as it used a hoard of 415, which is also in heavy use in Cindy




As for what I watched this week, well as I said, not a lot of work hours.  The week started with the Canadian Figure Skating Championships, and it looks like we're sending a great team to the Olympics, which is a massive obsession of mine, seriously, there will be no other "what I watched" during those two weeks.

Table Top,  who knew that watching other people play board games would be so much fun.



Teen Wolf  S03e13 This show started off fairly lighthearted and fun, and now it’s very dark, broody and good, even if it has plot holes a mile deep.

2010 The Year We Make Contact  - I remember being a bit in awe of this movie when it came out in ‘84, partly because I was only went because I had nothing else to do that night and my brother was going. 2001 bored me, except for the phenomenal music, so I wasn’t expecting much from this one. Instead it became and still is a favorite.  Part of the interest 30 years later is how the world of 4 years ago is portrayed, life turned out so different, this is such a cold war movie, but one that provided hope.

The Witches of East End - S01 Ep 07-10  A seemingly direct rip-off of Charmed, but I like Charmed so a good sister witches show is welcome,

Sherlock S03e03 And now one again, we wait.






The Pirates of Penzance, I love a good musical. Not part of my movie queue, Mom put this in after Jeopardy so I had to stay and watch it.

2012 - DISASTER MOVIE ALERT - I love disaster movies, even horribly bad ones, this one is kind of middle ground, it was inevitable that a 2012 one be made so it was nice to get big budget special effects. But at 2 ½ hours,  it was about  half and hour too long, there were at least three really unnecessary story lines, but much was destroyed so I was happy.

The West Wing S02 Ep 9-16


And of course Supernatural came off hiatus this week, one of the few show I watch when it actually airs. I love this show to possibly an unhealthy degree, you don't even want to know the amount of money I've spent because of Supernatural

    1. Hangout was great fun, and Cindy drove me mildly nuts with 1/4 stitches, worth it though.

  2. Oh, I was wrong, I do see something else than just a gray surface on Cindy already - some great progress you made there, I'm really impressed ^_^

    1. Yes a couple other colours have popped in, and even more when I get to the windows. Unfortunately for my stitching, I have more hours of work this week, but my bank account will be happier.

  3. I too love the supernatural to an unhealthy degree, but have not seen any of this season (I wait until the DVD release), so much so I cannot stitch and watch it at the same time I just stare at the boys. I am excited about the new season of Teen wolf, but to my horror discovered the whole series was pulled off of Netflix, sniffle.

    1. True, stitching stops during SPN, but as I watch right away, I still pick it up in the commercials. Have you ever been to a convention, if not. find a way to go, at least once, all the guys are amazing and my crush on Jim Beaver just got stronger after I met him. Teen Wolf was never on Canadian Netflix that I saw, SPN just appeared before Christmas, our Netflix kind of sucks.

  4. Wonderful progress on your stitching. I love Table Top such a fun web series. We have bought 4 board games because of that show and want a load more. They are incredibly fun to play. Also West Wing is amazing though I still have finished it! Studio 60 is another great show by Aaron Sorkin but only had one season (Booo)
