Okay, I totally forgot to swap my calendar to 2019 so I thought TUSAL was supposed to be today, the 7th, not yesterday the 6th. I'm late! What else is new?
My thread ORTs were sparse. Just not feeling the mojo this past couple of months.
My sewing ORTs look better but only because they are so bulky! The wood leaf bowl has ORTs from Christmas ornaments and a few bits from an appliqué project I've (barely) started.
Here are this year's ORTs stuffed in one place! I didn't mean to collect a yearly jar, I just forgot to dump it that first month before adding a ton of ORT. It was fun though!
Just for fun...here are all the ORTs I've collected since starting this blog 10+ years! I put the jar next to my iron so you could see the size.

Just posted my first TUSAL for 2019. Could you list the dates for this year please. Love your 10 year collection Sharon. Hugs, Sandy
Happy new year, good to see you again - and what a lot of ORTs you've collected over the years - they look inspiring. My TUSAL post wa up only a few hours too late ;)
Thank you for hosting once again.
Looks like you have been busy with your stitching .
Wow that's a big jar of orts, lol
I have an old Kenko coffee jar where i put mine, when i think about it.
I won't join in with the TUSAL because I forget half the time to add mine to to my jar and I'm not very good at remembering dates either lol but have fun :-)
Hoping to join in the TUSAL again this year, although that will require me to do some stitching which has been rather side-lined at the moment. Planned an hour's stitching yesterday afternoon and ended up doing a whole afternoon's admin for my photography club instead.
If I do join it will be with my new blog 'Into the Dark'
Happy new year! Wow, that ORT jar is huge!!!

Happy New Year! I like the great big jar, that's pretty impressive :)
I keep some yarn left overs, or pieces I've trimmed when working in ends, but not many. I like to use them to tie together pieced afghans to keep things in place as I crochet pieces together. So they get reused. Somewhere they're in a zip lock bag. From time to time I forget I have them and start a new bag for them......and then of course I find the original bag, lol.

Love seeing your big jar! That is an impressive collection. I too have a big jar that houses all my orts since I started collecting but it is starting to overflow so I think I will start using them to stuff ornaments.
I thought I had already posted my January report but it looks like I forgot so here it is.
