TUSAL - April 29

Been quite busy sewing this month. Worked on a wonderful cross-stitch gift for my Mother-in-law, which I gave to her for Easter. I'll be showing that off (again) in my SMALLS report tomorrow =)

I'm thinking I'll put these lovely threads out for the birds, but I'll wait till next week as we are to get rain for the remainder of this week. That should clean up the rest of the snow around here, and make a great dent in the ice floe currently bobbing in the middle of my pool.

Here is my collection for this report:

Didn't think my crocuses would come up this year with the weird weather we've been having. So grateful they did!

And check out the comments of Daffy Cat's post to see the pretty ORTs of others =)

See you again...May 28...Happy Stitching!

TUSAL ~ March 30

A day late, but here are my ORTs since last posting. Most of my threads this month are grey. Foundation paper piecing threads were my greatest contributor this month, But down in the bottom are the red threads from my small stitchery of the month.

Linking up to Daffy Cat for

And a gratuitous video. Love listening to these birds, though I usually get out earlier before commuter traffic starts so I can listen to them sing longer. You also get to see how much snow we still have, but it is melting slowly. The first small tree is my cherry tree. The metal can is my ash can for the ashes from my wood stove. I will eventually spread these over the grass. The small green building is my crafting studio. Soon we will be warm enough that I will work in there rather than at the dining room table. The big maple tree to the right of my studio is one of the main areas where the tractor blows our driveway snow all winter...hard to believe the base of that tree will eventually be ringed with flowers.

Happy stitching, see you on April 29 for the next TUSAL report!
