It's a New Moon! Here is my ORT report for February. I really liked the way the photograph turned out last month so I did the same again today. I could have added some Mardi gras beads but I didn't think of it until now! Lots of ORTs in the jar again:
It was International Hermit and Stitch Weekend this past weekend. A crazy busy one for me so I ended up with only a few hours left to hermit. I am calling it good ~ I was able to stitch a little bit at the very least! A peek at what I worked on:
Yup, that is my Prairie Schooler 12 Days of Christmas, 8 Maids. Nope, not even close to being done. I'm in no hurry with these as usually happens when I stitch for myself. If I'm stitching for someone else I can knock things out but if it's for me *sigh* I take my sweet time.

EDIT: Whoops, I forgot! Be sure to comment on this post and leave a link to your TUSAL post to get extra credit entries in my end of the year Totally Useless giveaways. Thanks for reminding me, Mary Ann!

If you'd like to shut yourself up with your stitching one weekend a month you can join the IHSW, click here.
Oh yeah...my laptop is fine now. Apparently, it did not like the fact the battery failed and so kept trying to contact the battery in hopeless devotion. Lesson learned? Know when it is over and move on! I took off the battery and we are back to normal...except I am now chained the desk until I get a new battery.
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Happy TUSAL and IHSW! Sounds like we all had a bit of a slow weekend, but every stitch is a good stitch!
I almost forgot about TUSAL. This month has gone by so fast. I can't remember if we are supposed to leave a link so here's mine anyway:)

Wow! You had a lot of ORTs. 8 Maids is looking good too!
~McKenna
Fascinating how you chose that particular part of the motif to do first. I guess you'll probably say you always start at the upper left corner, but hmmm... just the same...
Your jar is looking very full already!
I'm the same way! If the piece is for someone else, I work quickly. If its for me, I take my time.
Here is the link to my TUSAL update:

Glad you figured out what was wrong with your laptop. Mine failed a long time ago - so I just keep it plugged in, no biggie.
That is one impressive ORT jar! Here's the link to my post :)

Happy Ort Day! I like the way you take the picture. Looks cool.
I got slightly frightened that I got the dates wrong with no jars appearing on the blogs I follow ... but that's most likely due to being stuck on a rainy island that is on a different timezone. Lovely jar ... and an amazing picture.

Your jar is very full! I did manage a small finish for the IHSW, but I also had company come round, so not much really done on Saturday. My jar is a box at the moment and it's slowly growing.
Here's my TUSAL link:-

Between TUSAL and IHSW there are a lot of posts to read. A very pretty ORT collection. I am enjoying watching your progress on the 12 Days

Mine is looking a little empty because I had just cleaned out the ort jar right before I joined in.
Have a great stitchy week everyone!
I can blast right through my Round Robin pieces because I have a deadline. But then I have no time to stitch my own stuff. poo
Here's my tardy TUSAL.

Love your stitching. Beautiful as always. Even though you may not get to it for a bit, I am looking forward to seeing more progress on your Finery of Nature. It looks great.
I am a day late posting mine. I need to mark the dates on my calendar. You can find my site here:

I'm a few days late, but I made my post.(life has been a bit crazy lately)
http://sewamy.blogspot.com/2012/02/ort-february.html
Looks like you have had some nice stitching time! Mine has been (sadly) lacking lately. Why must there be so many other things to get done on any given day?
Love your post update!

Finally Blogger let me post!
http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2012/02/february-tusal.html

http://ziggyeor.blogspot.com/2012/02/eek-dont-let-me-slip-back-into-old.html
Here's my post! I know what you mean about things you stitch for yourself. Anything that has been finished or framed has been for someone else.
Lovely Tusal jar! You should have put the Mardi Gras beads in!! Lovely stitching too!!
http://dollsmusings.blogspot.com/2012/02/ihsw-results.html
Glad you've got your laptop sorted. Happy Tusal day, my DS1 asked why I didn't get a smaller vase so it looks fuller when he saw the photo LOL!
http://www.boosmummy.com
That is a lot of threads.
I've got not so many this month.
jioya.blogspot.com/TUSALFrb.
I'm going to have to seriously think about your invitation to the hermit stitchy thing... I really ought to join up, but I'm not sure I have the time!
Anyway, here's my TUSAL post for February:
