So February question was In honour of “Leap Year,” tell the story of a time you had to make some sort of a “leap” in stitching – taking the chance on a new style of stitching, attending a meetup or class, etc.
This would have to be when I did the Vimy Ridge Sampler, I am for the most part strictly a standard cross stitcher, but I really wanted to do this piece for the fall fair that year and took a chance that I would figure all the other types of stitches out. It was so much fun.
March Question is Have you ever adopted a piece from someone else or gave up a piece to someone else? Which piece and why?
And this one is short, because the answer is no, I never have.
So I have two months of stitching to show, and I seem to be in the mood for smaller stuff at the moment, I'm a grocery store baker, so I haven't been isolating, though I have been able to stay at home more on my days off which is nice. I'll start with the big one - Lion King, this one is going to be slower going than usual for me, since I already have my fall fair piece for this year I'm not in a rush, so I've distracted myself with smalls.
Mathysphere had a quick little Pi day SAL from March 1st to 14th, a pattern a day, but the trick was all the patterns were puzzles, math, crossword, and even origami, it was so much fun, though I did realized how much math skills I've forgotten
I'm also doing the Lesley Teare Birds and Blackwork SAL so here are the first three months of that. All taken in completely different lighting, oops, fabric colour is closest to the last pic
And one more project is the Princess Peach Stained Glass Pattern from Make it Pink, the Shadow variation, thinking I might stitch four of these and make a tower.
As for what I watched
Critical Role: and Talks Machina

Teen Wolf S5-6 I really enjoyed this series, but I tend to enjoy supernatural dramas so not really a surprise,

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: Enjoyed it just as much this time, thisone is far superior to the Angelina Jolie version, Alicia Vikander gives Lara far more personality

The Spiderwick Chronicles - This is such a fun kids movie, I adore it every
time I watch it.


Onward - The latest from Pixar and as per usual it was great, so geeky in all the best ways.


The Sum of All Fears - Another I should read this book - movies, Though I have read and enjoyed several of the Jack Ryan books, I love all the Jack Ryan movies but none of them are particularly related to one another, They are such smart action adventure shows, also this one stars Ben Affleck and he’s a favourite of mine.
Step Up - A movie like this depends a lot on the final dance and this one delivers. This is one of my all time favourite movies, the story is good to, a little more serious than the typical dance movie which is another thing that elevates this one.
Love the blackwork pieces! Great work.
ReplyDeleteNice stitchings, love the birds amazing patterns.
ReplyDeleteLovely projects, the Lesley Teare birds are so beautiful & detailed.
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching! I especially love the blackwork SAL but am looking forward to progress on The Lion King as well.
ReplyDeleteI really need to see Upward, but obviously, going to the cinema is on hold for now. Stardust is one of my favourite movies - I read the books a while back but actually enjoyed the cinematic version a little more!
