First off, the lovely, generous Magical had sent me the threads to stitch up her May ornament, which I happyly did - I really loved that one, the colors and the design both. This and January are my favourite of all the monthly ornaments so far.
Apart from that I had planned to spent the weekend with Lady, since the Disney Dreams group on facebook had a SAL weekend, but somehow I didn't really 'feel' it, so I only put a couple hundred stitches in and instead I pulled out the Things Unseen sampler. I stitched the last word in the upper row and with that also finished the upper part from the border. Now that I have much less border to stitch at a time, the sampler itself progresses much faster, and I'm already mostly done with the second row. There is even a new color, which I find just lovely!
There was also progress on the Baby Jacket (I did about two rows a day and as you can see, it has grown considerably, and the remaining ball of yarn has shrunk just as much) and on Soyeux (finished the first ball and got a few rows in with the new one).
As for watching, amazon prime recently added Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and since we just saw Avengers Age of Ultron a week ago we were in the right mindset or that, so we watched E1-10 of Season 1 this weekend. We also saw R.I.P.D., a action/fantasy/cop-comedy, which was quite entertaining and enjoyable, and earned Felix the right to pick out movies again :D

I did order Things Unseen...this SFS is COMPLETELY done for and I will probably be politely asked to leave the group :) It's wonderful to see your progress on that and Lady! You have quite a few things going on right now and I really am enjoying your rotation so we can all see a little of everything every now and then.
Yay for Felix! I think I helped him lose his "Bad Movie" crown when I watched that yukk movie the other night...so Felix YOU ARE WELCOME!! ha ha!
Thank you Linda :)
Things Unseen is worth sinning for - that pattern and especially the kit is gorgeous! Did you see all the little goodies? The small patterns that came with it too?
I'm glad you like my Kraut-and-Rüben-Rotation (that's German for everything mixed together, kind of lol), I like stitching like that as well ^_^
Love the German description of this post! In English we might call it a mish-mash but in a nice way!
I love stitching lettering so much more than borders! Looking forward to seeing that one progress.
I'll try to remember that :D Stitching letters goes wonderfully quick, I can't wait to work on it again ^_^
