TUSAL July New Moon -- AKA The ORT Report

Happy July!!!  We have had a miserably hot June in North Texas.  The drought is awful and my yard is turning brown no matter how much I water.  Not sure how much more of this we can take.  Wild fires pop up constantly and the wind never stops blowing.  We need a break.  Please pray for rain for my little part of the USA. 

I am happy to announce I completed 3 stitching projects in June and I have a few goodies in my bag to work on in July.  My little jar is getting full, but I just keep smashing it all together so I can add more and more ORTs.  This little jar has come in handy, especially when I only need one (yes, one) stitch of yellow to complete a project.  So I dug through my jar of odds, ends and scraps, found a bit of yellow that would work, one-half stitch and viola, project complete.



I wish all of you a safe and happy 4th of July, no fireworks in North Texas this year to the extreme drought and fire danger. We are spending the weekend in Dodge City Kansas at a World of Outlaws race--woohoo!! Thanks for stopping by.  I really appreciate all your comments.

See ya!!
