IHSW June

I love strawberries, but I really hate picking them. There isn't a point to this, I just needed to vent
The boss is away so YAY!!! more hours, unfortunately that also means less stitching, I won't even be able to join tomorrows hangout till late afternoon.
However, despite the less stitching time, I did manage to finish my little Springtime Bunny, I loved this pattern, she is so cute and now I want to get pretty fabric and stitch the other three, don't let me near Nordic Needle until the feeling passes.

I did get some done on the tractor and Cindy though, in fact I think I finished #762

 
And my stitching was stitched to
Merlin S04 E08-12

Robotech : The Macross Saga  E06-16

Game of Thrones S04 E09-10 Another brilliant season over, can’t wait for next year.

Back to Hannibal - The Return of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn - I love Tom
and Huck, they are some of my favorite books, which is why I tend to be disappointed in the movies. But this one is fun and takes place 15 years after the books, when newspaperman Huck and Lawyer Tom go back home to help Jim, who has been accused of murdering Becky Thatcher’s husband, it’s all fairly predictable, but also enjoyable.

Maleficent - The original Disney Sleeping Beauty is one of my all time favorite movies, at least in part because of how good a villain Maleficent is.  So I was both looking forward to and a bit wary of this movie, I didn’t want my childhood ruined  (no that’s not a melodramatic statement at all), but I very much wanted to see Angelina Jolie play this role. I’m not a huge fan of hers but she was perfect for the role. And I was happy with how it was done, different enough from the first to make it an independent movie, but with enough little nods to the original to make me happy.

Beyond the Edge - I’m not sure how to describe a Warren Miller movie unless you've seen them,  there are hoards of them and I watched all the yearly skiing ones form the late 80’s and all through the 90’s.  After that Warren turned the narration and writing over to his son and Bode Miller, while they still have amazing scenery, the main reason why this non-skier loves the movies, they are now lacking Warren’s dry wit and deadpan delivery.

Batman Begins - The best part of these last series of Batman movies is the absolutely perfect casting of Michael Caine as Alfred.
