TUSAL?

So today is not only the first day of 2014 but it's also a new moon. This means it's TUSAL time. What is TUSAL? Anyone playing along keeps their left over threads sometimes called orts or snippits. I put mine into this too cute ceramic jar a friend made by my stitching table...

When the new moon comes around we post a picture to share with everyone participating. TUSAL stands for Totally Useless Stitch ALong. Long story shortest it's a fun reason to blog about something I already do haha. For the end of 2013 I put all my orts into a see through ornament I found. Here is my pile of orts since the last new moon to add to my ornament...

I don't quite understand how all those threads squeeze into that ornament but they did. Now I'll start with a fresh empty ornament for 2014...

I got this too cute ornament holder this year for Christmas too. Works perfect. Now to work on filling it up! We'll see how I'm doing next new moon. I started a new project today in honor of the start to a new year. I picked Dog Wisdom. Here is my start...

We spent today watching movies. Poor Jeremiah has a head cold and has been coughing all day. He went to bed last night at 10pm and missed the ball coming down for the New Year. I recorded it and we celebrated today. We watched Grown Ups 1 and 2. What great comedies. Then we watched The Heat. Another wonderful comedy. Now we are catching up on Shield episodes we have on our DVR. We are getting a beautiful snow outside. They keep saying 4 to 7 inches. Last I saw outside it was gorgeous. Can't wait till morning. I love snow. All my friends pick on me cause I love it so much. They all hate it. They have to drive to work. Since I'm a stay at home mother plus I never really drive anywhere (I hate driving!) I don't have to worry about it. So I get cussed a lot haha. I'll put up with it to look outside and see that beautiful white covering on the ground.
