All the Spooky stuff

Anyone remember when I used to update this once a week, now I struggle with once a month, if it weren't for WIPocalypse I'd never update at all.

So this months question is
How do you keep your stitching stash organized?
I have managed to keep it mostly in one room, the office, which is where I watch Netflix and Critical Role.  The office is where I do almost all my stitching because it has the best light in the house. The floss hiding in the desk, but most everything else is in this lovely cabinet that sits behind me.

My printer hangs out on top, the middle shelf hold all the fabrics, and the black boxes hold scraps and notions and my nail wraps.  The bottom has beads in the tower, more notions and floss in the boxes and pattern and magazines behind.  As you can see I don't have a huge stash.

September has been a good month for me aside from the killer cold that kept me doing anything for a week. The month started off with the Mandala, can't believe there's only 3 more to go.

Then it was time for the fair,  I work with the fruit but enter in photography and stitching,

I won third in photography for this shot of Emerald Lake in the experienced catagory, the hardest place to win so I was really pleased with that.

I made the Celtic Cross into a wall hanging so that I could enter it as well as the Fractal,  and both won first place in their categories,  Fractal also won best in show, I had a good fair.









Other things I worked on this month were these adorable little Spooky Critters from Brooke’s Books.  I also started a Polar Bear Mill Hill kit, but there is no picture as it is nothing but white on white at the moment.

 Carla and I worked on the Carla and Leonore's Halloween SAL on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and I finished both the Boo Cat and Velcome from Lucky Star Stitches
The big(ish) piece I started this month is Mr Tumnus, but Lesley Teare from the March 2013 Cross Stitch Gold Magazine. The Narnia series are my favorite books so I've been wanted to find time to do this one, and I found the perfect fabric for it hiding in my stash.

As for What I Watched

Critical Role: and Talks Machina 

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 and S3 Ep 01-06- This is a really well done series

Salvation - Season 1 - Disaster TV show, the only question is why it took me so long to get to this.  Lots of fun, decent story line and some really good characters, on to Season 2

Fantasia - Less of a movie, more an experience, an amazing one that I can rewatch again and again

Fantasia 2000 - As good as the original but this one includes two of my all t
ime favorite pieces of music. Gershin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Stravinsky’s Firebird

Downsizing - I missed this one when it came to theatres, interesting concept, people willingly make themselves small to save the environment, some parts were really predictable other parts very original

Fantastic Four - The one from 2005ish this one is definitely elevated by having Chris Evans as the Torch,

The House With A Clock in it’s Walls - The screenplay for this was written by the creator of Supernatural, he was saying the book was one of the inspirations for Supernatural and was asking fans to check out the movie, until he did that this movie wasn’t on my radar at all, glad he did as it was excellent.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - Typical in every way, but not a bad way to spend the afternoon
