WIPocalypse: Made it Before February

This months question is
What SALs are you participating in this year?
I don't have any definite plans yet. It's more than probably that's I'll take part in Carla and Leonore's Halloween SAL, but beyond and this.that nothing at all.

January has been annoyingly non stitching busy, and not even with anything fun,  My parents have had a plethora of appointments and Mom doesn't drive when there is snow on the ground and Dad gave up his licence last year when he turned 90, so I spent the month as a chauffeur. 

But stitching has happened. on both Narnia, look, Lucy has legs

and the Mill Hill Polar Bears, this ones getting close and it's almost curling season which is when this should get lots of love.

As for what I watched

The Librarians S3 EP 06-11 and the first ep of Season 4

The Titans -Season 1 As a huge fan of the Titans comics this one worried me a bit on how they were going to do it but I’m really impressed and can’t wait to see Season 2

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves - While not my favourite classic Disney movie, this one is still adorable.

Puss in Boots - Really just a bit of fluff nothing spectacular but a fun way to spend an evening

Sense and Sensibility  - I love British movies they are so understated and beautiful and you can never go wrong with Alan Rickman in the cast and he so seldom got to play the romantic hero type that he does in this one.

Shrek - It’s cute, I never quite understood the whole turning fairy tales on it’s head thing though, after all at the end she still becomes exactly what the man wants her to be.

Carmen Sandiego S01 E01-02 - This is the new series from Netflix and I freely admit I checked it our because Liam O’Brien and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn are voices in it, so I started for them but I’ll stay because it’s really fun.

WIPocalypse 2019 - The Beginning

I love this SAL , if it wasn't for WIPocalypse I'd never remember to blog at all, so this forces me to update at least once a month in the most enjoyable way possible.

So the first question of the year is :

Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!

Hi, I'm Nancy, I'm that weird beast known as a one-at-a-time stitcher, well two at a time really, but I have no UFO's.  I very rarely set something aside to work on something else, it's only happened when I need a gift or something for the fair.  So I live in a two story house and have a small project upstairs that I work on during Jeopardy and curling and any movies that I watch with my parents.  Downstairs is where the BAP lives, cause that's where I watch movies and Netflix and most importantly Critical Role.
At present my small is a Polar Bear Mill Hill kit, and my BAP is Mr Tumnus

from Cross Stitch Gold Magazine,  It's a smaller than usual BAP for me, but when  I finish him, I'll be moving on to Angel of the Harvest,

which at 12"x15" is more my usual size. She is my oldest pattern, the first thing I bought that wasn't a kit around 10 years ago, it's about time she got done.
That is actually my only plan for this year stitching wise, I have other travelly plans been planned, more on that when they actually get planned. Also waterfalls, every year has plans for waterfalls
Also I keep track of what I'm watching on this blog, mainly when stitching, but also things I went to see at the theatre

So as for what I watched

The Librarians S3 E01-05

The Scarlet Pimpernel - This has been filmed a ton of times, but my favorite is this, the Anthony Andrews - Jane Seymore movie from the 80’s while they deviate from the books some, they characters are true to the story far more than other versions.

Silk Stockings - Watching Fred Astair and Cyd Cherisse is never a bad way to spend and afternoon, this is a musical remake of Ninotchka and while not the best musical out there it is certainly amusing.

Mary Poppins Returns - This was charming and exactly what it should be, the perfect movie to start the year with. Also I loved Lin-Manuel Miranda, he looked like he was having so much fun.
