Finally Fully Finishing Fun for March and TUSAL

  

Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher

This SAL is designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finished pieces instead of just storing them under the bed.  We will all be linking up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month).

I decided to do something different with my latest Christmas Ornament finish.  Rather than make a 3D ornament, I mounted it over some wadding on a piece of card.  We display greetings cards from strings hung from our beams on the ceiling.  They are out of the way and make a lovely colourful display.

Just Nan - Snowberries

Fewer people send physical cards now so we usually have at least one string empty at Christmas.  I thought it would be nice to fill it with ornaments.  When Christmas is over, the card folds the other way to protect the stitching and beads in the storage box.

    

It's TUSAL time!  

Here is my TUSAL jar with my current projects:

Finally, it's time to sign up for the Annual Easter Treasure Hunt.  If you would like to take part this year, just leave a comment here.  The week before Easter I will send you a letter of the alphabet which will form part of the mystery phrase.  On Good Friday you will post that letter along with a photo of something seasonal that you have stitched (could be Easter or Spring or just something cheerful and sunny or floral).  We all hop around like little bunnies to find the Mystery Phrase!
