Back to the Old Routine

So everythings gone back to normal now, I can sleep in on my days off again, and spend all afternoon watching things and stitching. And that's exactly what I've been doing. My hours at work are likely to go up for a bit though, as the one girl we had there had a hissy fit and quit when the assistant manager actually had the nerve to ask her to work while she was at work.
So stitching wise I finished the Targaryan bookmark and am about to start Lannister, and then all I have to do is Martell and put them all together.

As for Cindy, I think she benifited from the break as I am raring to go on her. I have now finished all the glass panes and will soon be moving on to the bushes..





 As for what I watched


West Wing S03 E20 tp S04 E08 - I have now rewatched every episode that I saw on  the original TV run, Season 4 is new territory for me.

Alegria - This is a strange little movie, about what you would expect from a fictional story in movie form as told by Cirque Du Soleil. It stars one of the mimes from the stage shows  and Frank Langella. It’s a melancholy fairy tale more visual than vocal which means it’s not the greatest show to stitch to.  The use of music is stunning and comes mainly from the tent show of the same name. I love all things Cirque and this unique little work is no exception

The Aristocats -  You have to love jazz loving cats. It’s the rule

Akira - I have a passion for old school anime and this is definitely one of the best….  And despite the fact that it takes place in Neo Tokyo. in 2019 30 years after WWIII  the story holds. It has to be close to 20 years since I watched it last and  I still love it. This is why I decided to make an effort into watching everything I own there are too many movies in my collection that haven’t been out in way to long.

Teen Wolf S03 E17-20 What are they doing to poor Stiles?

  1. I love Cirque and one of these days I'm going to go to Vegas and see a show. I've seen a few of their shows on TV but it's not the same. :)

    1. No it's not the same, go if you ever get the chance, I saw Mystere in Vegas, and several of their touring shows when they've come nearby.

    1. I know Lannister has a lot of stitching, but Martell does not, then I get to put them all together and hide them in my room until Christmas

  4. It's good to see you back on track both with Cindy and the bookmarks. I started my first bookmark (Tully) yesterday, but I'm going to stitch the whole background too since my perfectionism won't let me settle for almost-the-right-color, so it's probably going to keep me busy for quite a while.

    Also yay for Aristocats, one of the most-watched Disney movies of my childhood ^_^

    2. I didn't do the backgrounds of any because I wanted them in sets of three, Tully was the hardest one to leave blue, but having 3 black, 3 green, 2, blue and 1 red just didn't work in my head.

      Delete
    3. Yeah, I guess is does make the biggest difference for Tully...the colors of the fish just don't do the same on blue as they would on red, but your version is still very pretty :)

    4. I am loving the ones on black, but I've always loved working on the darker fabrics.
