It begins....

So, I flosstube; how much harder can blogging be? Except it's in writing. So I can edit. And edit again. And edit some more... ad infinitum.

But let's not talk about how long I spent editing this. I haven't actually done that yet, as I'm still writing; but we know time is wibbly wobbly like that, no?

That's my segue!!  Today I stitched on Toasty TARDIS (named by Kelli Anne of the Dyed Panda and myself) from Pixel Power. There has been a Doctor Who marathon on BBC this week--all the good episodes, the Moffatt Episodes--so I'm pumped for a Doctor piece. And the Christmas special (can you not wait?!?!)

Here's approximately what it will look like finished:

I thought maybe Toasty TARDIS was a Maynia start this year and that could explain my appalling lack of time spent on it, but no. I started it on June 25, 2017. The Maynia was over.

Here's that appalling start:

Yeah, that's not even 100 stitches. I was in my pink period when I started this, so it's on a really pretty dusty rose colored Aida, likely 16 count, I'm not getting out a ruler, that Sam (Insta: @mindmyneedle) sent me all the way from New Zealand! (she's bangin)

On a somewhat related note, it was 34 degrees F here today. I spent all day stitching. I'm not proud. Or tired. (Arlo Guthrie anyone? Alice's Restaurant? PLEASE! SOMEONE!!) So I put in way more than 100 stitches today.

Here's way more than 100 stitches:

That's a good day. TARDIS needleminder is by Jen of Delicious Threads (wait for it; a theme will develop) and Ten needleminder was a gift... (I forgot from whom because I'm a bit of a bad person that way; I was hit in the head with a golf club when I was 9 ACCIDENTALLY!! and I blame literally everything on that. I'll totally blog about it later, probably a couple of times because I'll have forgotten about the first few.)

I'm all about doing 1/2 to 1/3 of the work for full results, so this WIP is going to count for Year of Wips in the Facebook group Soulful Stitching, along with the Quarterly Winter SAL in Full Coverage Fanatics on Facebook, and the Winter SAL on Cross Stitch Finish Line. Excellent.

If you read all the way to the bottom, thank you! If you scrolled through the pictures and read the last line, thank you! (you basically got the same information).

For those of you interested, tonight's book is:

But I'm reading it on the Kindle. It doesn't make for as bloggable a photo. She improvises.

See y'all.. when I see you!
