I want to say thank you for all the wonderful messages you left about my meltdown. This week was a little better. You won't believe this but I didn't pick up a needle until Friday...It was a long week. I have a duckling that it doesn't matter what happens, they are never in wrong, and it is always my fault. The parents have an excuse for everything. I started dealing with this parent on Monday and it was still going when I went home on Friday. So, everyday I would come home, sit in my chair, fall asleep, wake up then go to bed....this was my life. I am not sure if it was the stress or the lack of caffeine.
I have stopped drinking soda and even tea. I stop at Sonic every morning and purchase a Route 44 Pineapple water. It is a scoop of pineapple bits, ice, then water....I did some research on Pineapple water and love the health benefits.
I read this article and thought wow!!! I can say that I don't crave Chocolate or sugar since I started drinking this and the part about being good for your intestines...it works. Lets just leave it there.
Stash shopping: I bought some things off Stash Unload this week. Less than what I have usually done. I did buy some kits off Aliexpress. It is like a Chinese Amazon. They were having a big sale and had some Bothy Thread kits for $8.00 each, a Russian kit I have been watching on ebay that usually runs $70...they had it for $20.00. I decided it is better to safe than sorry when shopping outside the US...I bought a prepaid MasterCard with a set limit so I couldn't purchase everything I wanted! Plus, since it is a pre-paid my identity can't be stolen!!!
The week of Spring Break, I did make myself stitch....I worked on Faery Tales and I even finished a page!!! I have 16 pages left!
Page I finished...
I told you that I had to force myself to stitch....I beaded...lots and lots of beads. Check out the white beads on her dress...yes, this is what I did..
Year of starts....I told you I was making a small change. Since this part of the school year is crazy, hectic and exhausting. So, I am going to work on 3, maybe 4 projects: I am going to do the borders on: Brookes Advent; Xmas starts here; Brookes Cakes - then start each block of my First Xmas design. Things will be boring for a while on my start side...but I will feel great knowing I have the borders done!!! LOL!!! Once school gets out for the summer, I will get caught up on my monthly starts..maybe
