It's the New Moon. Calling all you Totally Useless Stitchers! Get out that camera, snap that ORT jar photo and post it now!
Here is mine. Lots of ORTs in my jar this month. I'm really surprised how much stitching I actually accomplished in the last Lunar cycle. Now, I am emptying the little jar into the big jar and starting all over again...
I've been getting quite a few irate comments/emails from people about the comments being closed on the TUSAL post. Some of these have been downright rude! The comments are closed on that post because there was a deadline to enter. I'm very sorry if any of you wanted to officially join but were too late. Any stitcher wanting to "join in" is welcome to post their ORT jar photos on the New Moon but the official SAL list is finished for this year.
I do believe I will have a little surprise to share with you sometime soon. Yes, that was deliberately vague and mysterious...I've always wanted to be a lady of mystery and intrigue. Sadly, the chance rarely presents itself.
Thank you for visiting my blog today!
xox
Oooh, how interesting, I'm all intrigued!
ReplyDeleteSorry you got messages that you didn't like chick, that's horrible :-(

ReplyDeleteSome people are just insane aren't they!

I'm sorry to hear some ladies are not being very lady-like towards you. You did say you were going to close it!
ReplyDeleteI posted my TUSAL, sad to see I didn't add much to it though. So disappointed in myself!
I can't believe you're getting rude emails, etc. Grow up people! It's a shame really.
ReplyDeleteGreat ORT progress!!!
I a sorry you have had some rude comments about the TUSL when you so graciously decided to take it on. Thanks for the reminder, hope you survived the storm and hang in there!
ReplyDeleteohhh! look at all those lovely colors in your jar. A surprise? Don't keep us to long in suspense. You know how we get.
ReplyDeleteI posted my jar on my blog. Not much to look at but hey I am working on trying to get my stitching mojo back.
Nice TUSAL pic! Isn't it cool when it starts filling up for the year? I hope it's ok that I post my TUSAL with my regular Monday posts. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat TUSAL progress. Love that little pincushion! Thanks for hosting the SAL...people shouldn't be getting all upset. You snooze, you lose.
ReplyDeleteYour jar is colorful, good progress,I love the pincushion!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry people have been rude to you. I don't know what gets into some people. They need to get over themselves.
ReplyDeleteOhhhAhhh, a surprise?! Can't wait!
I love looking at everyone's colorful threads in their jars. They really are pretty. Nice pincushion you have there too!
ReplyDeleteThis came around quickly! Posted my update too :)
ReplyDeleteFlossy x
Mine's up.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what the surprise is
I can't believe that someone would be rude. You were pretty clear about the guideline and YIKES --- it's not like TUSAL is a matter of life and death.
ReplyDeleteMy TUSAL jar is up for the month. Not much to see, but it's there.
Happy Stitching!
My long post but my TUSAL update is in there as well.
ReplyDeletettp://ziggyeor.blogspot.com/2011/02/february-crush.html
Silly people, if you're rude she'll take your name and A. not put you on the list next time and B. Get Witch Hazel to visit you with FROGS! Muwahhaha!
Oo I'm gonna go post mine right now!!!
ReplyDeleteI love a surprise :)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the comments - People get fussy sometimes -
Have a great night !!!
Your pincushion is beautiful! I'm on pins (AND needles) waiting for the surprise...harharhar. =)
ReplyDeleteIgnore the rude comments. Your SAL, your rules. And you're awesome. =)
My TUSAL auto-posted today since I'm out of town for a class...and I already noticed a typo! =O
I'm one of the "too late brigade" and I am choosing to follow this unofficially. I'm disappointed that I couldn't join but fully understand the deadline rules - I'll just have to try harder next time! Don't understand why people would feel they need to be rude or disrespectful.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress this much! And Happy Lunar New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Now I'm all a-flutter wondering what you're up to.
ReplyDeleteSorry folks were so unkind about the TUSAL. You didn't deserve to be treated that way.
I posted my TUSAL this morning. I kept them safe from my marauding DH this month! :-)
Good evening, sorry that people are misusing the WWW. If you do not like what you are reading or looking at --MOVE ON!!
ReplyDeleteOK, I did post my TUSAL on my blog, so pop over and have a lookie loo.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Great job
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you've got some nasty comments, some people just don't understand the concept of a deadline.
My picture is up on my blog
Mines up! Had a very successful stitchy time!
ReplyDeleteI know, lets send those nasty people a serious case of the frogs. That should teach them LOL.
I'll be posting my TUSAL tomorrow morning as I posted a birdie naming contest today.
ReplyDeleteI'll actually have floss in my jar this month.
That's just awful people being nasty like that, serves no purpose, really.
I have already posted my ORT jar for this month :)
ReplyDeleteGosh I can't believe people would actually do that!! Shame on them!
Good to see you got a of stitching done, when are we going to see the projects that left all these little ORT's LOL. :)
I hope you don't get any rude messages. Happy Stitching.
Grrrr to the rude ones!
ReplyDeleteLove your pin cushion.
My TU SAL went on a small adventure this month!!!
So sorry that you've gotten nasty comments but I agree- your SAL, your rules. No need to be mean.
ReplyDeleteMy TUSAL will be up soon too.
Good grief! Sometimes you just have to wonder about people. I will get my photo snapped and up tonight.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's really sad when people get nasty.
ReplyDeleteI just posted my TUSAL also and I just want to thank you for hosting this SAL and all the hard work you are putting into this for all of us.
Linda
Arghhh, forgot to take my picture thought is was the 4th LOL, will do it tonight and post over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteDaffycat: I Enjoy reading your blog I was late in signing up but I can still enjoy everyones post of their Tusal.
ReplyDeleteIt saddens me that some people are so rude.
Peace
Catherine
Cute pincushion! Your jar looks very pretty.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe the nerve of some people!
Posted mine earlier today! Love your little jar and your cushion!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you received inappropriate messages!
I love a good mystery!
I remembered! Yayyy for me, I'm not normally as organized as this.
ReplyDeleteMine's up for this month!
ReplyDeletehttp://measi.net/measiblog/2011/02/03/tusal-jar-february-goals/
I wish I could say I'm surprised about rude comments, but unfortunately I'm not. We sadly live in one of those societies where politeness no longer seems to apply, and the rules of an activity never, EVER should apply to them. It wouldn't just occur to them to participate "in spirit" with the official one by just posting their TUSAL jars anyway?
*sigh* In any case, thank you for kicking up the SAL again. I'm glad that it's going. :)
Sorry to hear you've got some weridos commenting. I posted my update!
ReplyDeleteLOL LOL You are too cute, Sharon. I can't wait to hear or see your surprise.:)
ReplyDeletei posted mine! =]
ReplyDeletecant believe theres people giving you a hard time, ignore delete forget! not worth stressing over it
That's too bad about the comments. Hope they dry up soon. It's a miracle that I remembered to post my photo. It can be found here. http://sherris-sundries.blogspot.com/2011/02/tusal-february.html
ReplyDeleteSo many people with such bad manners! Sorry you are having to put up with it. My TUSAL update is on my blog. I am looking forwards to the "mystery".
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of your TUSAL - mines in my camera waiting to be posted. I cant wait to hear your surprised. I am shocked that people have been rude I always thought that stitchers are the best obviously a minority are not.
ReplyDeleteI will post on Saturday :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a very pretty jar!
Some people have nothing better to do with their time! Sorry you were on the recieving end of their spite.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm intrigued ;)
Wow what a full jar,great job!!
ReplyDeleteHow can people be rude??? are they a bit stupid... you are doing a great job, Keep up the good work
Love seeing your nicely filled jar!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sorry folks are so rude----sad to me.
Sue
It's not nice to hear you have rude comments being left, you set the rules and we followed them.
ReplyDeleteI've posted my second ORT jar, this is fun, thanks for taking us all on.
My post is up too. ON time lol. Too bad some people are like that. Being rude to others is such a waste of energy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day

I'm sorry you've had some rude comments. Maybe it would be possible to open a list for people participating in the TUSAL, but not in your giveaway??? You did make it VERY clear that there was a deadline (which I only just met).
ReplyDeleteLovely orts, and I'll grab my camera now and snap my ort jar. I'm still undecided on the leave them in/toss them choice ;)
Sorry you're getting nasty comments from people, it's just ignorant. The deadline was clearly stated.
ReplyDeleteYour ORT jar is looking very pretty though and love the pincusion.
I posted my TUSAL.I'm sorry about some rude comments.
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching!!!
Hugs from Spain
Great job, that's nice!
ReplyDeleteHurray TUSALLERS!:)))
I posted my jar yesterday and began to worry that I was going to outgrow it way before the end of the year...but I remembered your system so I have decided to add my monthly ORTs into a bigger jar after I click a pic each month. :)
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Chin (or whiskers) up, dear girl, I think that you are very fair and rules are rules.
Ma
Well, it just amazes me at the rudeness displayed in blogland. You are not the first blog I have read that has mentioned this. I can't comprehend stitchers of all people (who in my experience have all be very nice) being tacky. I guess it does prove that there will always be nasty people in every group. SAD.
ReplyDeleteI did post my TUSAL, and I am excited to hear about your surprise!!
Oh Sharon, I'm sorry to hear that :o( This was downright rude, especially since you've gone to all this work to organized and take over the TUSAL. People are probably seeing all the generous prizes and want in on that now. Just greedy if you ask me. Glad to hear you're standing your ground :o)
ReplyDeleteSharon, I'm sorry you are getting rude comments about the TUSAL, it is A LOT of work organizing things (I know) and you gave plenty of notice about the deadlines. Ignore them! The majority of us stitchers are "normal" ;) LOL.
ReplyDeleteMystery, I can hardly wait to see what you have planned, can you give me a hint??????
MY TUSAL was posted this morning :)
No good deed goes unpunished. So sorry for the negative comments. My TUSAL is going up tomorrow. Thanks so much for hosting this! http://litandlaundry.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting "Finished for Friday" today, if anyone would like to link up something they've finished. Come on over!
So sorry there are some rude people out there. I understand why the list is closed - as one of those who missed, I will still post my TUSAL on my blog Good luck all of you on the official list
ReplyDeleteSorry for the rude people. Makes no sense either. You can still play! Just not be on the list. I guess some people like the title of it all.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your ort jar. You've been busy!!! Posted mine late last night.
Sorry about all the negative comments. It's rude and uncalled for. They were given the same details as the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to say that my post for the TUSAL went up first thing that morning.
I love the pretty colors in your little jar. Very sorry you've had to deal with some unkind messages.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to read you are getting some unkind comments. xx
ReplyDeleteMy picture has been posted - find it here.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about the rude comments you received - it just amazes me but I guess you get all kinds of people . . . and some are even stitchers :)
Jar is full, and the work is very cute, I love it.
ReplyDeleteWe do not need the rude person, because we just need to have a nice time. When you have time come to see me. Loredana
NICE, HEFTY TUSAL jar!!! Love all the colors in there. I'm sorry you've been getting rude comments. :(
ReplyDeleteSorry about the rude comments...Don't take it to heart.
ReplyDeleteMicki
Maybe you can let one of the rude people take my place. I missed the update yesterday so I'm officially out but I will still post updates anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I have posted mine here. I'm still working though the list looking at everyones jars. what fun! (Didn't I just say that?)
ReplyDeleteMine is up also. Couldn't tell it was a new moon 2 days ago due to the severe storms! Hope everyone is warm and safe.
ReplyDeleteMine is now up too.
ReplyDeleteYour TUSAL jar is looking pretty for sure! Mine is finally up!
ReplyDeleteMy post is up - rather unimaginative picture, but I've got a fit of the blah's and I can't think of witty things to say right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you've had some horrid emails - makes you wonder where all these people were last year - or the year before!
Hugs sister stitcher - may your orts overflow.
bronny
Daffycat you're doing a lovely job for the benefit of others - nothing in it for you, it's from your kind heart. If other people have missed your deadline they could open their own and pass on your kindness. Please don't take the comments to heart- look at all the positive posts. My TUSAL piccie is up but it's not as full as yours.
ReplyDeleteSendings huge hugs and grateful thanks for doing this x x
That's plain absurd for people to be upset over the TUSAL being closed. I wanted to be a part of it but realized a little to late and did not make a fuss. I decided to keep my own little "jar" of orts for fun. It's neat to see all the bits of thread in a beautiful porcelain bowl! Looking forward to seeing the surprise!
ReplyDeleteI don't even have a blog (yet!) but I'm still doing the TUSAL. Mine is TOTALLY useless as I'm not even able to join in or post piccies but I'm still enjoying the fun :-)
ReplyDeleteSome people need to lighten up and be more Daffy!!
Okay. Where did the pattern come from? Love fleur de lis!
ReplyDeleteMy photo is up!
ReplyDeletewww.creativityhasnolimits.blogspot.com
Sorry that you got those emails. Why can't people live happy lives and not let little things bother them. Relax,take a Deep Breathe and use that negative energy to be creative! You will be much happier!
Love your pincushion, Daffy!
Hugs
Wow! Your jar is really ful! My is still anemic looking. Still stitching with 1 thread, so its a little on the skimpy side.
ReplyDeleteWe're all off to a good start though. Thats what counts! Can't wait to hear the details of your surprise!
Here's my update: http://loralynnsart.blogspot.com/2011/02/tusal-ort-update.html
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing...you've been busy - look at those orts!
ReplyDeleteSharon que pena, vine a decirte que tengo mis hilos pero la foto no la he publicado y encuentro que has pasado tan mal rato, cuando esto es para divertirse y no para molestar, en mi país te dirían "No le pares", esto quiere decir "no hagas caso", "no te preocupes". Somos muchas las personas que estamos contigo IGNORA las que no saben comportarse, un besote y un fuerte y solidario abrazo.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, LOVE your pincushion....soo cute!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the not so nice comments... no excuse for that !! I am definitely intrigued about your surprise :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never understood the need for rudeness in blogging or otherwise. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI have been without internet for 5 days due to a winter storm. I posted my Feb. TUSAL here:
http://seasonsofmymind.blogspot.com/2011/02/tusal-month-2.html
I've posted mine today - better late than never! I'm sorry to hear about your nasty comments - you're being so kind an energetic to organise this that it's a shame that some people are taking advantage of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm blogging at maverickbeads.blogspot.com
Hi there Daffy! Cheer up !! Thanks for organising this and hopefully those "nasties" will wake up happy tomorrow! Have a great day - I have posted on my blog! Fiona x
ReplyDeleteHi Daffy, I'm late but I have an excuse.. It's hare to take pictures and post when the heater goes out and it's 12 degress out side. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL
ReplyDeleteShay
Sorry bout the meanies!
ReplyDeleteHere's my new moon post :0
http://curdy4rent.blogspot.com/2011/02/tusal-february.html
Sharon - looks like you've got a lot of stitching done. I'm sorry to hear you've had some who weren't nice about not being able to join after the fact.
ReplyDeleteYou've got me intrigued about your surprise. I've posted my Tusal on my blog.
I've lost track of time and posted mine only today!
ReplyDeleteHope it's still applicable. :-))
http://miracle-nz.blogspot.com/2011/02/tusal-february.html
