My pitiful ORT jar for July's new moon. Too much life and not enough stitching time! Must get this sorted out before I have a breakdown! I'm just kidding, by the way!
Those TUSALers leaving a comment on this post to let me know you have posted your ORT jar will receive an extra entry in the giveaway, as usual. That hat is getting full, people! If you are new here and want to know what The Totally Useless Stitch A Long is all about click here.
For those asking about the counting pins I made in my last post...they are SO EASY! All you need are a few supplies...
Pins, buy the extra-long ones
Super Glue
Beads, any assortment you like
Toothpick, or you can use another pin
Put a drop or two of Super Glue onto a sheet of paper. You will use the toothpick to pick up some glue when you are ready. I use the little spacer beads on the top then a bigger bead then a tiny seed bead. Keep in mind you can use anything, in any order. Do what you like the looks of! Thread the beads onto the pin and see if you like the arrangement. If you like it, let the beads slide away from the top and use the toothpick to pick up a bit of glue and smear it around the top of the pin. Work fast, the glue dies quickly! Slide the beads up onto the glued area and I usually add a bit of glue around the bottom-most bead. I carefully poke the pin into a pinpillow until it's dried and I try not to touch it until the glue has a chance to cure.
Sometimes the beads come unstuck on my counting pins as I'm using them...easy enough to re-glue them as needed. Be careful with the glue...it's hard to stitch with glued-together fingers or pins & beads stuck to you.
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Hi!
My ORT jar (Tusal) for July post is now published!
Mii

That looks like it's still more stitching than I managed this month!
Is it just me ... but I think your jar looks like a lot of stitching! My jar doesn't look that impressive ... but I have spent almost all of my spare time (past 3 weeks) stitching. So I refuse to believe your self criticism.

Here is my TUSAL post!
Thanks for the pin info. Have a lovely weekend.
Here's mine - the cat decided she wanted to star this month lol!

Love the counting pin tutorial!! I did something much more complex (I made mine with needles). Here's my TUSAL post, though you've already visited. =) http://lottloft.blogspot.com/2012/07/tusal.html
Hey, any progress is progress!!!! Love the colors in your TUSAL, Daffy. And thanks for the tutorial on counting pins. I may have to try that!!!
just posted my tusal :O)
thanks for the instructions on how to make those lovely pins!
I love those pincushions that you've been making - they are beautiful. Your pins are very pretty too - and easier to make than I thought. I think I'll have to give it a go sometime!
I got my TUSAL up today - and it's not horribly late as the past ones have been! Will wonders never cease!

I've posted my TUSAL, Sharon. You really made me laugh @ your warning about super glueing fingers. I've spent many a time separating my fingers from each other and whatever I've been glueing! LOL
