What Had Happened Was....: June 2012
http://christinemcook.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
What Had Happened Was. A place for my very random thoughts. Saturday, June 02, 2012. WIP: Paula Vaughan's "Thoughts of Spring". Normally, when I have a project that is a gift for someone, I won't post pictures of it. Since the giftee has already seen it in progress, I'm not as worried in this case. I just won't post the final picture with all the tedious backstitching on it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. WIP: Paula Vaughans Thoughts of Spring. Summer House Stitche Works.

What Had Happened Was. A place for my very random thoughts. Saturday, March 26, 2011. Things I Learned From the Movies: Pearl Harbor. I remember when this movie first came out and I was SO EXCITED. I thought this was going to be the Pacific theater's version of Saving Private Ryan. Man, was I wrong. SPR. Was an Historical Epic; Pearl Harbor. Is a Historical Action movie. Lesson #6: Southern Accents are not difficult to master. And where is Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s accent? His character was from Texas. Bonus p...

What Had Happened Was....: Life Changes
http://christinemcook.blogspot.com/2015/01/life-changes.html
What Had Happened Was. A place for my very random thoughts. Sunday, January 18, 2015. I was a bit embarrassed when I came back to this blog and realized I hadn't posted in nearly 18 months. Those months have been chaotic and unsure at moments, but wonderful and uplifting at others. Regardless, I've made some major life changes that I've been quite happy with. My friends were going back to work, and I was not. I had a house, but in the wrong town. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

What Had Happened Was. A place for my very random thoughts. Monday, January 19, 2015. Around the World in 80 Days" by Little House Needleworks. This pattern also had quite a bit of errata, probably the most I've ever had in one pattern. Luckily the corrections can be found on Little House Needlework's website.

What Had Happened Was....: April 2011
http://christinemcook.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
What Had Happened Was. A place for my very random thoughts. Saturday, April 30, 2011. The USS Yorktown and My Family Tree. A few weeks ago, I went on a field trip with my Advanced Placement US History class to the Patriot's Point Naval and Maritime Museum. Which has a pretty awesome website. If I'm not mistaken, it's playing the theme to The Pacific. Which makes sense considering the USS Yorktown. In action is pretty awesome. A WW2-era submarine, and being petrified of the enclosed space. I didn't like i...

What Had Happened Was. A place for my very random thoughts. Sunday, May 08, 2011. Sarah Ann Wilcox Sampler WIP Week 5. Another week means another progress picture! I have really enjoyed stitching this one. It has just the right combination of ease and challenge. I also like the use of the over-dyed cotton threads that I've been using as well. (See the first update for the list of threads.). This is where I was at by the end of Week Five:. I've really enjoyed seeing how that came out! I've dyed a few piec...

What Had Happened Was....: December 2010
http://christinemcook.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
What Had Happened Was. A place for my very random thoughts. Saturday, December 11, 2010. Over Thanksgiving I went to visit the family and stayed with my parents. I ended up carting back two giant boxes of Barbies that I collected in high school and college. I was honestly hoping that they'd stay on the shelf at my parents until the end of time, but I was living a fantasy. So, now I take a look at them. Tonight, in fact. And what do I find? Box or not. And I go on E-bay. Guess what? Oh, and I can't forget...

What Had Happened Was....: November 2010
http://christinemcook.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
What Had Happened Was. A place for my very random thoughts. Friday, November 05, 2010. The Betrayal of the Blood Lily by Lauren Willig. The Betrayal of the Blood Lily. Is the sixth (I think, I've lost count) in Lauren Willig's romance/chick-lit/mystery series that follows a series of spies named after flowers. The action has decamped from the British Isles and has arrived in India during the Napoleonic Era. That's right. This book. This infuriating book. Willig seems to have hit the "spy as romantic hero...

What Had Happened Was....: Movie Remakes: Star Trek and Jane Austen
http://christinemcook.blogspot.com/2013/06/movie-remakes-star-trek-and-jane-austen.html
What Had Happened Was. A place for my very random thoughts. Monday, June 17, 2013. Movie Remakes: Star Trek and Jane Austen. I've been a Star Trek. Fan since I was in middle school. Equal blame falls on my mom and my best friend: my mom bought a boxed set of the movies on VHS, and my best friend was a big The Next Generation. Fan I thought TNG was silly (I still do, at times). But The Original Series (TOS)? That was a different story! Everything was so secretive, like who was going to make a cameo appear...
