TUSAL Report_April 2011 Update

 Okay, TUSAL time again, here are my April ORTs....   Travel ORTs on the left and home ORTs on the right, sitting with a pile of my latest Stash Empire acquistions (some lovely fabric for finishing Christmas Ornies).

... and here are all of this year's ORTs so far in my ORT jar.

If you are wondering what I am talking about, TUSAL stands for the Totally Useless Stitch A Long, where we post each month's collection of ORTs (Old Ratty Threads). You can read all about it by clicking on the pic below:

Fully Finished Gallery SAL_March 2021 Report + March TUSAL report

I seem to have had a very busy week or so, so it has taken me some time to post again but some of what I was busy with was FFOing for this SAL - so all good!

 So, it is that time of the month again - time to show off my Fully Finished Objects...

                                       

 Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher

This is a great SAL, designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finished pieces instead of just storing them under the bed or in my case, in a drawer! The idea is to link up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month)..... 

So, how did I go this month?  It was an excellent month, I think, with another TEN FFOs this month: giving me a running total of FFOs for 2021 of NINETEEN!

The most recent finishes (not yet shown on this blog) are in the pic, below:

#1 and #2: Two Santas from Prairie Schooler "Santas and Snowmen", Book #151.

#3  Is a Snowman, also from Prairie Schooler "Santas and Snowmen", Book #151.

All three were finished in the same way with a red spot fabric, a red, green and gold twisted cord and a red gingham bow and a button. For the snowman design, I found this very cute snowman button in my button box (sorry that the pic is a bit blurred).

All three were finished with this rather cute fabric showing a red truck carrying a Christmas tree.

#4 Is an iceskater which I think is from a JCS Christmas Ornie Mag but not sure which one (for a former librarian I keep terrible records, don't I - lol!)

I used this cute polar bear and snowflakes to fabric on the back.

#5 is a Grandma Kringle's design - cute, isn't it?

Finished on the back with this cute blue and white Christmas tree fabbie.

#6 is also from a JCS Christmas Ornie Magazine but again, not sure which one (don't let the 2019 on it fool you - it is not the 2019 edition).

The other four FFOs have been showcased in earlier posts this month, which you can read here: Christmas Goose and here: Stitching Bee, Sweet Land of Liberty and A Spot of Spring.

You can check out what everyone else Fully Finished this month here.

And to finish off, here is my TUSAL for the month, guarded zealously by Furio - lol!

TUSAL Report_February 2021...

In my last TUSAL post, I posted all of 2020's ORTs, this post today actually shows you January and February's ORTs.

Continuing my (somewhat intermittent) practise of photographing my ORTs with Objects I Love, I have taken a pic of my ORTs with my belated 60th birthday present (only two years and four months late - lol!) of the Light of Life. Gorgeous, isn't it?  It not only looks stylish but it will charge my phone and has bluetooth so that I can play my music or an audiobook whilst blogging or sewing!

P.S. Melbourne has just gone into a snap five day full Lockdown, starting at 11:59pm tonight!  Aaagghhh!  Why, oh why, can't our State Government manage Hotel Quarantine properly?????

TUSAL Report_January 2021...

 Oh dear, it has been nine whole months since I wrote a TUSAL report - Mea Culpa.  The last one I wrote was April last year.

But, whilst I didn't write TUSAL reports for nine months, I did stitch like mad and create lots of ORTs and you can see the year's worth below, sitting on my current project, "Snowflakes, sledding and Chickens", a sweet freebie from Pinker n Punkin Quilting and Stitching, plus next to some of my favourite spirits _ Gin - I am a bit of a collector - plus there is a small bottle of whiskey which I collected on my travels plus some Baked Apple Schnapps which DS2's gf gave me for Christmas.  (Now, don't worry, I may have a collection of Gin, but I actually am not much of a drinker, evidence to the contrary - lol!)
