Recent Stitchings and TUSAL Update

Since my last post, I have been keeping myself busy and still managing to squeeze in some stitching time.  First off, here is my June Tusal update:


I had some orts to add from my father's day project.  I didn't want to get distracted from it, though, so I wasn't working on many other projects at the same time.  

Since I finished Vault Boy, I have made a couple more Christmas ornaments.  These are for my family members:



The leaves will be pretty much the same in the remaining ornaments but the monograms are all in a different color.  I still have to do a yellow C, a blue D, and a purple J.  I haven't decided on the best way to finish these yet, but they do have to be simple since my mom decorates their tree in mostly white and silver.

I also made Little Guy a small Sonic the Hedgehog as a "feel better soon" present.  He is very happy with the finished image.  We just put it in a black picture frame.


And, I finally made myself something!  I completed this Lizzie Kate chart sans heart charm with a few minor changes to color and some of the stitches.


I held a strand of light and dark thread together when stitching the trees and completed the hill with half stitches for a more grassy affect.  

Hope you are all enjoying your summer.  Happy stitching!

TUSAL Update

Well, technically this is not an update as this is the first time I am posting a photo of my ORT jar.  If you have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, visit Daffycat's page to find out, and maybe even join in the fun!

This is all I've managed to accumulate in the last 6 weeks or so since I first read about the Totally Useless Stitch Along.  Not too shabby.


I have been so busy that I've been on a bit of a stitching break for the last week or two.  Though I really need to get back to my Vault Boy project as I'd like to give it to Mister for father's day.  

Next up on the agenda, I need to make a shark hat like this one (but in pink) for my friend's daughter who will be turning five in the near future.  The pattern can be found here.


I can't wait to give it a try!  Though, I may end up making two since I have a four-year-old who will probably want one too.

Have a lovely day!
