Disney Kits Galore August starts 226-239

Hi Everyone, it has been an interesting two weeks for me.  I swear the start of a new year, means I get sick.  For a week I suffered from vertigo and this past Thursday, I drove myself to the ER afterschool.  My mom is a nurse, so I the last time I was a the ER was when I was 9 and cracked open my head which required stitches.  I don't go to the doctor unless I just have too.   For two days I had a pain in my chest and was short of breath.  I know...I should have gone sooner, but I hate the doctor.  I just couldn't handle it and I went to the ER.   It seems I have an infection in my chest called Pleurisy. Basically it feels like my lungs are rubbing on my breastbone/ribcage when I breath.  I was told to rest, take ibuprofen and given a good pain pill for night so I could sleep.

Stitching...I was so excited!!!   I finished that darn Gingerbread house on my Faery Tales.  I would have done a happy dance but it hurt way to much to move!!! LOL!!

Just look at this beauty!  In case you are wondering, it is still on the q-snap because it is a pain in the behind to take off!!!

Ready to see what I started???  Get ready for some Disney.  You want to know a secret...I have more Disney kits to start...I won't start them all this year!!!  Shocking huh???

Start 226:  Bright Needle Dollhouse: Sorry the photo is blurry...I did link it to a picture on pinterest if you want to see what it will look like close up

Start 227: BrightNeedle Needlework Shop 

Start: 228 Happy Everything....I put a square around where I stitched...you can't see the blue-grey on the light blue.  I started in the center with July.

Start 229:  Heinzeit Tea for Two

Start 230 Disney Villans - Etsy..this shop had these two designs as B1G1 -  so I had to get both of them. 

Start 231 Disney Heros - I found this on Etsy and just loved it!!!

Start 232: BrightNeedle Xmas House.  I think this is all the houses for this designer.   

Start 233 - Pocahontas - I started John Smiths Hair

Start 234 - Alice in Wonderland.  I just couldn't stitch this on white...so I chose a lime green fabric.  What do you think of it?

Start 235: Micky and Minnie Bride and Groom - started on the top bow...you can't see much but I did start.

Start 236: Aristocats.  I really wanted to do this on a colored fabric but just couldn't figure out what color to use so white was the final choice.

Start 237:  Donald and Daisy Ornament.   I decided this would pop on Navy.  There is a Goofy one that I want but just can't find it.  If you know where I can find it at a reasonable price...please let me know.

Start 238: Tinkerbell Blossom.  I changed the fabric from 14 count mint aida to 28 count blue monaco. 

start 239:  Mickey Salutes America

Major HAED Milestone!!!! Starts 219-225

Take a good look at this part of my HAED - Faery Tales ...Why you might ask???   It was at this section of my project that I passe the 200,000 stitch mark!!!!  Yes...that is right.  There are a little over 200,000 stitches in this project completed!!!  Not to mention that the Gingerbread house is 3/4 finished!

This week was all those dreaded back to school meetings.  I have sat through more staff development this week that my brain turned to mush!  My room is not ready, and school starts tomorrow.  I don't care.  I refused to go in and work this weekend!  It will be there next week.  The kids will survive if I don't have my math rules hung up on the wall.  I will hang them sometime this week.

My ducklings are always losing my hall pass so this year I decided to get crafty. I went to Hobby Lobby and purchased these:

with a little spray paint and sealant...I now have these beauties.  Stickers aren't straight but that is ok.... they don't fit in their back pockets or backpacks!!!!  The color doesn't show but they are Gold since our school colors are black and Gold

Start 218:   Lizzie Kate Dog Lessons - I was so tired I just got the spots on the dog stitched.

The next three starts are from a magazine and I am stitching them on ivory aida -

 Of course it called for white fabric but I am using a raspberry sherbert...The color used tonight was 3865 so very white

Start 225:  Paula Vaughn August Quilt -  I had to start at the top. I couldn't stitch white on white!  I just couldn't

School starts tomorrow which will be year 20 for me!   I can't believe it!

                          

August Already Starts 212-218

I can't believe it is August already!!!  It has been a crazy start for this month.  I am two weeks late but it was crazy that first week...I had something everyday but Friday!  The week before teachers officially go back is when I start popping in and out of the building.  On Monday - July 31st, I popped in my classroom only to find out that they janitors (god bless them because they run the school) didn't follow my map exactly so I had to rearrange furniture...and then on Thursday, I made hubby come to school to put my carts together!  Every other week I would go into Sams club and purchase a 10 drawer rolling chat...  I purchased 5 of the multidrawer color - each cart has two drawers of each color...but since I have 5 carts...I color coded them.   Look at their beauty!!!  Each duckling gets their own drawer to keep their math crap ..oops..supplies in so they aren't laying around my room.

Here is my week along with my starts:
Monday - July 31st -   I went to a pampered chef party.
MH _ kitty Paws

Tuesday August 1st:  I had a LuLaroe party (clothing party that is comfy and great to teach in)  to attend -  

start 213 - Love me Love my Dog MH -  You can't see much since I started in the middle which is the white dog...

 Wednesday August 2nd:  I met a coworker for lunch so we could work on lesson plans.  This start caused a little drama..very little on Stitch Maynia.  I posted the picture and someone said they loved it!  Where could they find it...well...it is one of those hard to find pieces.  I mentioned I saw it on Aliexpress - a chinese site that has legit and copyrighted items.  You have to be careful.  Oh lord, someone joined in and started in on all the copyright laws, how it is illegal..I finally deleted my comment so I would cause a rukus.  

Start 214:  The Ball - I just got the upper left hand corner started

Thursday - August 3rd - This was the school Faculty lunch, and I had to get my hair cut!  I can't show you this chart because well....there is no picture.  You have to imagine it...I can't find the start...I will explain that in my next post.
