TUSAL Report June New Moon

Here it is, my little jar of orts a day or so late, but that is okay. I have been stitching bunches since school finished and I am enjoying every minute of it.  I plan to do lots of stitching and basket weaving over the 4th weekend since I am staying home this year.

TUSAL June

TUSAL April

I missed posting my new moon report at the end of March.  So here goes for April.  I have been stitching a little, finished on project and made great progress on Stop and Smell the Flowers by BRD.  I will post an update on that piece for the Turtle Trot on 10 May.  Don't forget to check out my giveaway in the post below.

Enjoy!! CJ

TUSAL March

It's a new moon and my little jar of orts is full, ready to be emptied and start again.   I managed to finish five pieces in February, I have three new projects to start this month, so I am sure March will be very productive. 

Enjoy!! CJ

TUSAL February

Of course I am late again with my update even though I have a calendar with the new moon on it.  Oh well, my little ort is overflowing and well loved. 

Enjoy!!

TUSAL - AKA New Moon Report

Oh, I am so late with this post.  I forgot there were two new moons in August.  I did get some stitching done, tune in tomorrow for a post about a finish and some other Crazy stuff. 

Here is how my little jar looks today.  Getting full, but I just keep on squishing it all down.  It will be emptied on 1 Jan 2012 to start all over again.

Enjoy!!

TUSAL - AKA New Moon Report December

Hurray, I made it to December without emptying my little jar. It is over flowing and waiting desperately to be cleaned out on 1 Jan to start anew. This is a picture of it in my stitching corner -- please pardon my mess. DaffyCat, sorry I am late with my post.

Belated Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year!!

See ya!!

TUSAL The Second July New Moon -- AKA The ORT Report

My little jar is filling up slowly.  Not much stitching done this month due to two weeks of vacation.  I need to get back at it.  Hope you all are having a great summer, we are roasting in Texas.  Please pray for rain for the farmers and thier animals.

See ya!!

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!!

TUSAL May New Moon -- AKA The ORT Report

I must say I have impressed myself with my ability to keep up with this New Moon/Ort Report.  I managed to get some stitching done in April, but not as much as I would have liked.  I am hoping for a much better turn out in May, especially since I have some teachers gifts to make as well. 

Don't forget to check out my little giveaway below.  Have a great May!!


See  ya!

TUSAL April New Moon -- AKA The ORT Report

Another new moon has come to pass and my ORT jar is still here collecting little bits.  I had to squish it all down so I can keep adding more bits to it.  My goal is to empty it on the 12th new moon.  As for stitching, I did stitch a lot in March just did not get a lot finished. But this month I will have lots of finishes and a few new starts to share.  (Yes, I did say starts--at least three.)  Enjoy looking at my little jar.  Since we are having such a horrible windy day in North Texas I plan to stay in and stitch my day away--my yard work can wait for another day. lol

See ya!!

TUSAL Feb New Moon

Happy Chinese New Year!!  Usually we would take the kids out for a Chinese dinner this evening, but this nasty winter storm has us staying indoors and off the streets.  My kids have missed two days of schools so far this week and we just got that call that school will be closed, again, tomorrow.   We had snow late Monday night and early Tuesday, but it is the layer of ice that came down at the beginning of the storm and the extreme cold temperatures that are keeping us in.  Even the Tuesday paper didn't get delivered until this afternoon.  BRRRRRRR!!! That is a record for us in North Texas we had our two weeks of winter in mid-January, but I guess this year we will have 3 weeks of winter--lol.  The temps are predicted to be around 60 on Super Bowl Sunday.

I digress, enough about the weather.  Here is my February New Moon TUSAL input.  According to my calendar the new moon is today so here is my little jar of bits and it has grown tremendously since the January New Moon.  I have been busy stitching two

squares for charity that I will post pictures of later. If I keep this up I may have to get a bigger container.   Enjoy, stay warm and keep stitching.

See ya!!

TUSAL Jan New Moon

Here is my entry for the TUSAL.  It is not very full, I have only bee collecting since around Christmas time. My little jar is plastic, I decided on plastic with a  lid because I keep it in my stitching bag and it gets moved allot and I have three kids, two dogs and a husbands--I think you know what I am getting at.  It is just safer this way.   In it's former life it was a Blossom and Buttons Jar from Making Memories in the shade of Mocha--how exciting.  I took the picture early this morning in my kitchen as I was drinking my tea.  The jar still has a label on it that I plan to cover with  a stylish new ORT label--be looking for that next new moon.

Not only is this a TUSAL, but I have a house full of Totally Useless Calenders -- not one of them has the phases of the Moon on them.  How crazy is that?  Guess I need to go calender shopping today.


See ya!!
