Time of my Life

 Once again I skipped a month, but for good reason as I was away all February on the trip I booked three years ago and have been planning for around 10 years and it was completely worth it, I went to Argentina,


Uruguay,

Chile



and spent 5 days in the Antarctica, 



 

So February's question was What stitch-a-longs (SALs) are you participating in this year?

Other than this one, I don't have any going this year.

And March's question is Tell us about your favorite places to buy stitching supplies.

Online I try to support Traditional Stitches as it's one of the few Canadian supply stores that deliver and locally I love a shop in Kelowna called Yarns and Needlecrafts, they are mainly a knitting/crochet store but carry a decent amount of cross stitch stuff and at least a couple of the people there stitch themselves so a good conversation often happens

As for this months stitching, I did take a Mill Hill kit along on my trip, I don't think I stitched more than 50 stitches on it the whole trip, but here's proof of Antarctic stitching


Once I got home, other than organizing my pictures, my focus was on The Lion King, and I finally got everything done but the backstitching, I will definitely finish in April


As for what I watched


Critical Role and the last 6 episode of Legend of Vox Machina season 2. Critical Role has been my main focus, I have a month to catch up on

A Star is Born - the new one, pretty good but not really my style, though it did kill time well on the plane

Everything Everywhere All At Once - This one was weird by good, also watched on the plane and the sound was not stellar, so I think I need to watch it again to see what I missed

Crazy Rich Asians - Another plane movie, and really typical romantic comedy, didn’t really stand out at all

Maid - The final of the plane shows, I wanted to see this one because I follow the cinematographer on Instagram and it’s filmed on Vancouver Island
