June TUSAL

Tusal

It's TUSAL time again!  For those of you new to blogging, the TUSAL is a project run by Daffycat, click on the button on the right hand bar for more details.

Here is my ORTS jar posing with the current stitching project:


And here is the project itself:


This is a Mill Hill beaded sampler called Frosted Heather Rose.  I won it in a giveaway organised by Rosey of Ishkabibble.  This is a nice quick stitch, provided you can set up your area in such a way that you won't be disturbed for a few hours!  It is easier to bead as you go too.  Now all I need is a nice little frame.   I am sure I will have one in my frame stash somewhere.

This was my second recent finish.  The other is Boo Mansion by Blue Ribbon Designs:

Stitched on 32 count Twilight Blue linen

and scrapbooked along with Owls by Midnight:



Finally, my Summer Postcard Blog hop again!  The theme this year is Pets.  All you need to do is email me a photo of something you have stitched on this theme plus a little message about what pets mean to you.  Once I have a few I will start emailing them to the participants who will display them on their blogs.  The Blog Hop lasts all Summer so don't worry if you don't have anything suitable stitched yet.  Just leave a comment saying you would like to be involved and I will remind you later.

ORTs are looking great and you really caught the beads on Heather Rose in your photo. It looks terrific. That's a great look scrapbook page as well.

I agree with you, provided we get quiet stitching/beading hours everything is way easier and faster! :D

I love all your beautiful finishes, Jo! The Halloween ones are just perfect. I've often thought about scrapbooking my mini finishes. And great collection of orts! I forgot about TUSAL this month but may just squeeze in a post today.

:O You're already finished omg :O I must say your pictures make it look a lot better than the cover shot on the kit itself! Perhaps because your beads are actually straight haha. I do hope you enjoyed stitching it and that no Small Boys were in any sort of trouble with it.

And another finish! I think I would be confused if I ever came to your blog and there wasn't a Halloween piece on a post hah. The sparkly(?) Batman stickers are a nice touch on the scrapbook page. :D
