dyswis 2

 so ... do you see what i see?
wait for it ... wait for it
i see an green olive with pimento and a green ghost monster (Michael Myson says the monster is from The Nightmare Before Christmas, his name is Oogie Boogie and that he's more brown than green cuz he's a burlap bag full of bugs in the movie that i've never watched cuz it looks scary and i don't watch scary movies cuz Real Life is scary enough) 

 there are other things lurking in this panel, but i'm gonna just stitch some curves for a while - that monster is gonna give me nightmares

dyswis?

do you see what i see?*
does this look like a closed safety pin?
okay, if i'm being totally honest, the first thing i saw was not a safety pin, but i'm not gonna go there...
and then i saw a swaddled baby...
so that's what i went with 

*dyswis? do you see what i see?
yeah, it is probably gonna be a series of posts, innit!?!

Hate Monger by Jean Guerrero

i don't, normally,  write anything about the books that i read ... but this one? this one had me unable to sleep at night...

i MADE myself finish reading it and these notes are to remind myself WHY...

this book is an accounting of Thing One's piece of $hit deputy chief of staff before he began the current terror that he is orchestrating ... i hoped that reading it might give me even the slightest insight into why he hates with the fire of a thousand suns ... waaaaay too many hours of struggling with his life story has convinced me that there is no plausible explanation of why he is evil ... he just is.

rock in sock

13 skeins took me this far...

stitching the other half of the tree will have to wait till some piecing happens - it will share space with the right border...
i was so focused on NOT tracing those little circles that i forgot to stop halfway through the tree
