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!
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
Want to see what I started before my meltdown???
Past Present and forever
Pooh's tree
Cinderella ornament #3

I put in 500 stitches on my dollhouse....it was a Facebook Group monthly challenge
Self - Portrait
There you have it!!! This is what I started before my meltdown!

I have/had all those Disney kits. I have never done one. For some reason they kinda scare me. Love all of them and look forward to seeing your progress on them. Faery Tales is awesome. I have so wanted to stitch that one but it would be way to big on 14ct aida. Hope things are settling down for you Vickie.
Linda PS I still have tons of Disney kits if your interested in purchasing any of them.
That's a great idea using a prepaid MasterCard. I'll have to remember that if I choose to buy something foreign.
I did some reading about the pineapple water, and made some on my own. I usually buy fresh pineapple anyway so what the heck! It's quite tasty! Thanks for the heads up on this.
Your WIPs look great. I really like Grace. Beautiful!
Here's to a new and better week!
I am going to have to try the pineapple water, it sounds so good. I love your wips and look forward to your progress.
Glad you are feeling a bit better Vickie! ;) WOW that is a lot of beads! That dress looks gorgeous. Congrats on such beautiful work. Faery Tales is looking good too. Prepaid cards are a great idea, thanks for the tip.
You have plenty to keep you busy, they are all adorable!
Gorgeous work on everything and my sincere wish this week will be better.
