The ORT Report

It's the New Moon! Let's see those ORT jars!

Here is mine for the last month...not as good as last month but I'm okay with that. It was a horrible month for me and I'm just glad it's over! Most (all?) of these ORTs are from my Ornament Swap project. No fair trying to guess what it could be, Angela!!!


And...because I am way behind on posting things that have come in for the Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long giveaway, here is a peek at another donation! All of these goodies have come from Kelly of Kelly's Miscellaneous Thoughts and Stitching. Wow! Kelly is spoiling us with the stash, isn't she?



Lots of charts and kits from Lavender & Lace, The Trilogy, Heart in Hand and Little House Needleworks. Oh, heaven! I loves them all. Thank you Kelly! Now, if that isn't inspiration to keep posting those ORT Reports, I don't know what could motivate you!

Thank you, thank you and thank you for all the happy birthday wishes left on my Facebook wall and in email yesterday. I had an absolutely lovely birthday. I got to buy lots of stash and we went to see a movie and went out for a yummy dinner. A great birthday celebration! Thank you all for making my special day even better!

Thank you for visiting my blog today!
