Hello everybodeeeee!

I guess a reintroduction is probably in order since.

I’m Garrett, I’m basically a human Muppet with ADHD who works in finance (don’t ask for advice) and likes to cross stitch, felt appliqué, watch true crime and collects Wizard of Oz stuff.

This is definitely a step up. I enjoyed the 2011 film, but it was more because of them than the quality. This isn’t perfect but it’s a strong start

I got blocked. And then unblocked. And then gained like a ridiculous amount of new followers. So I consider that a win for more people not liking gen AI

The premiere of the new Muppet Show was well worth it. I’m not a big Seth Rogen fan, but he largely got the assignment. It’s not perfect, and I’d have preferred “Pigs In Space” or “Veterinarian’s Hospital” over “Pigs With Wigs” but for the first time in a while, it’s felt more like Jim than Disney.

Hands Across the Sea. She got a lot of heat for it and I did an IG live about how bad Gen AI is and she did remove the post, but she made another one later so no lesson learned.

I love this. Especially after a recent designer’s use of it in an advertisement

What so sad? I stopped working on it on the next to last release, I have less than 2000 stitches on it and I haven’t picked it up in 4 years lol

So this wasn’t a kit, I actually bought the pattern, fabric and floss separately. While the kits are great if you are curious and want to learn how to stitch, the themes and variety of kits are pretty small.

I’m ready because I’m dying to watch his last sitcom with Madeline Khan and A Different World again but I don’t wanna risk him getting any money.

Same. No one bats an eye over retellings/reimaginings but disliking Tilda Swinton as the White Witch seems to be tantamount to kicking a baby.

That said, I am very much over the Wonderland retellings that are all riffs on American McGee’s Alice.
