It's blog time again, and it's been a few months, so let's get to the WIPocalypse questions.
SEPTEMBER: How did you learn to stitch? I am predominantly self taught form a Learn to Stitch kit. Though I'm sure my mother taught me some embroidery when I was a kid
OCTOBER: How do you organize your WIPs and stash? I have a cabinet behind me that I keep most of my stash in, it's semi organized at the moment
NOVEMBER: How do you begin planning for the next year with your stitching? Tell us your process. I don't really plan much, I might have an idea for my next project and when I'm a month or so away from starting I'll start gathering the materials that I don't already have. But I don't have a year to year thing going on.
It's been a quite few months with the exception of a show tour to Ontario that I took. I saw 10 shows in 10 days, including going to the Stratford Festival which I have wanted to go to since I was a kid. Saw two shows in Toronto, Life of Pi, and Come From Away, it was my second time seeing Come From Away and it's an amazing show. Then it was on to Stratford, where I saw, Wendy and Peter Pan, Twelfth Night, La Cage Aux Folles, London Assurance, and Something Rotten. It was my second Twelfth Night of the year, and I have to say I preferred Bard on the Beaches version, but that doesn't mean that this one wasn't good as well, the highlight were La Cage and Something Rotten, probably my favorite two of the whole tour.
Stitching wise I've been fairly busy. I've got quite a bit done on the Panna Elephants,
I finished the Mill Hill Fairy Garden
And also another Mill Hill kit, Halloween Owl
I've also started a birth announcement thing for my nephews new baby girl, but no picture until they get it.
As For What I Watched
Critical Role and Quests And Chaos and I recently discovered No Roles Barred
Bridgerton - Season 3 - This was my favourite of the books and I did thoroughly enjoy it. There were a lot of changes, but they didn’t hurt the storyline.
Arrow Season 3
Flash - Season 1
Borderlands - Another movie based on a video game that I know nothing about, it was an enjoyable ride and the actors looked like they were having fun. I have no idea if it followed the game story at all, but I liked it.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit - It’s too bad they didn’t make more with Chris Pine. He was the best Jack since Alec Baldwin for me, and this one made me want to pull out the books again.
Flawless - A heist film my brother leant to me, decent show elevated a little because it stars Michael Caine
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - A little too slapstick for me, but made for an enjoyable evening out.
Twelfth Night - The Stratford Festival version from 1986, when this one first aired on TV it was my introduction to the play which has forever since been my favourite, I am finally going to see it live at the Stratford Festival in October and in a funny full circle way the actor that played Viola (Seana McKenna) in 1986 is the director of the one I’m about to see, I can’t wait.
Transformers One - I enjoyed this one far more than the live action ones. Reminds me of the old cartoons.
The Wild Robot - A really good kids movie, intelligent storyline and really pretty to look at.
Red, White, and Royal Blue - A LGBT Romance about the First son and a royal Prince, it follows most of the usual romance tropes without being boring, I haven’t watched a romance in a while, forgot how much I liked them when well done
The Birdcage - I’ve been wanting to see this since I got tickets to La Cage aux Folles, and it finally showed up on Prime. The play was a great deal better, but it was still fun
Red One - Santa gets kidnapped, I enjoyed this one a lot more that I thought I would,
