Yesterday, I was catching up on my blog reader when I saw a post titled something like "Last TUSAL of the year" or some-such. What? I thought. It's not time for that! Whoops, yes it sure was and I'm days & days late! I should be canned as your TUSAL leader. I tell you what!
Sorry about that! It was a crazy, crazy week at work. A severe winter storm was expected and everyone was getting prepared. For those that don't know, I manage a gas station connected to a large grocery store. One hint of the "S" word and we have an instant Black Friday type rush. It makes your work hours go by fast but it does leave you too tired to remember it is the New Moon!
I'm still plodding along on Trilogy's Secret Pumpkin Patch. Yes, since mid September. How's that for a slow stitch? But it does make pretty ORTs for my jar:
This is our last ORT report of 2013. It has been fun. I want to thank my fellow TUSALers for their participation this year! I really love seeing your Old Ratty Threads each month. For those that would like to continue next year I will be posting a 2014 sign up soon.
Since my ORT report has a Halloween/Autumn theme, here's a snappy of my Christmas tree all lit up. Keep things in the proper season and all. That and I'm just pleased I actually got the tree up this year. Monster Molly has pretty much ignored it, if you can believe that!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Your tree looks stunning. I think December has crept up on us all this year.
I seemed to fall by the wayside this year with my TUSAL jar...but I enjoyed seeing everyone's posts. The tree looks beautiful.
I'm late too.
My orts this month:

Ok, so I think that I'm guilty as charged with being your reminder, lol! At least that's how my post is titled.
I love your tree! I can send Clarisse over to teach Molly how to tamper with it if you'd like! Actually she's pretty good. She only goes after the birds.
Here's a link to my post:
