Whoops!

ORT fail. Many apologies...your fearless TUSAL leader thought the New Moon was today! This is a little late but I'm here with some rather sparse ORTs to show. It looks like a nice full jar but really, compared to my last few months of ORT photos these are lousy!


Plus, this is a really craptastic snap but I wasn't too worried because I'm late enough as it is. Leave a comment on this post to let us know you have posted your ORT report for June...you will receive an extra entry in the TUSAL giveaways. Those of you who posted this month to last months report might want to post again here as well.

As many of you have noticed, I have been taking a little break from blogging. Thank you all for the emails and comments inquiring as to my whereabouts. I didn't mean to be gone so long! Life hasn't been the same these last few months. Losing Sheba was such a heartbreak, she was such a big part of our lives. How can one little soul leave such a giant hole? Dash and I have been trying to cope, sometimes not very well. I am hopeful the worst is over and sunnier days are ahead. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

  3. You were late, but worth the wait! LOL, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! ::hugs:: Those little people in fur coats can leave some huge holes in our hearts, can't they! I still get a bit teary when I see pics of my old dalmation, and he died 13 years ago!! It truly is like losing a member of the family. Hang in there and come back when you can, we'll all be here waiting!

  8. I forgot all about the TUSAL for this month. Busy times for me. I will post next Monday though -- made a reminder for myself. Sorry you are missing Sheba so much. I so totally understand. :(

  9. I've been MIA blogwise for the past couple of months and missed your post about Sheba. I'm sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful looking dog.

    I realized this AM that I posted on your TUSAL report from last month and that you hadn't posted for awhile. I hope things get better for you.

    I posted my report on Monday - http://lorettasstitchingblog.blogspot.ca/2012/06/june-ihsw-and-tusal.html

  15. I've posted my ort report...

    Sending you lots of hugs, it's never easy to lose anyone we love, including our furbabies.

    I know it's difficult but try to take some comfort in your wonderful memories of her and how much she means to you!

  16. Sorry to hear you are having a tough time. I am going to post my ort report today.

  17. Hi, sorry you are having such a rough time. I know exactly how you are feeling having lost our beloved dog this year too. I posted an ORT report here http://stitch-nicola.blogspot.co.uk/

    ReplyDelete
  18. I’m not surprised that you’re still feeling the effects of losing Sheba. They become such a big part our lives and it’s like losing a family member. All I can say is, when you’re feeling down try and remember the fun times you spent together, it worked for me.

    I was beginning to think that maybe you were on holiday when the Tusal didn’t appear on Tuesday. You must have been getting the New Moon mixed up with the Sumer Solstice and Longest Day.

    Here’s my TUSAL
    but I’ve had a complete disaster with my stitching this month.


    Happy Stitching!

  44. I'm sorry you're missing Sheba so much. My two dogs passed at 16 years old in the same month. We waited a few months, then rescued 2 more dogs from 2 different animal shelters and have had them for 2 years now. Pets are wonderful!

    I feel for ya Daffy. This marks a year that I lost my FiL and my pet ferret Pratchett. I think it was harder on me to lose Pratchett as my husband and BiL had gone to FL for the funeral and arrangements and I had stayed here because of the new job.
