TUSAL Time

The calendar indicates that the new moon will rise which means that once again it's time to snap a picture of those orts. Here they are, pictured in their favourite corner of my gazebo.



As you can see there are a lot of red and white orts resulting from my Canada Day finishes in the past month.

I had a few new additions to my stash arrive recently. First up are a couple of fabrics for finishing. I think that the one on the right will work quite well for my strawberry cottage finish. The other will be great as a backdrop to some of my Christmas ornaments.


The second parcel contained some Carrie's Creations floss which I ordered from one of my favourite ONS, Knowledge and Needles.
I told the owner, Ann, that I loved blues and just to pick several floss and surprise me. Here's some of the lovely assortment that I received. I can't wait to try them out!


No stitchy pictures today. I should have an updated pic of my recent stitching posted in the next day or so. As of Sunday I'm going to be a bit tied up for a few days. My son and granddaughters are arriving for a short visit during the time that my youngest sister and family are arriving from Windsor. There should be a full house and lots of fun going on around here during the early part of next week. Chaos, but fun nonetheless!
Enjoy your upcoming weekend everyone!
