Totally Useless March

It's the New Moon! Well, yesterday, March 24th, was the new moon but I was working yesterday so...


I got quite a bit done on Books of the Bible. Using one strand doesn't create a lot of orts though! My sewing orts are zero so no boring picture of that. 

There are a lot of scary things happening in the world right now, with the covid-19 virus. Through my work, I'm exposed to hundreds of people every day. My health isn't the greatest either. What do you do? Bills must be paid and my job is considered essential so no risk of shutting down. I'm sure there are many wishing they could go to work even if it's risky.

Dash and I were supposed to go on vacation at the end of the week, to Washington DC! Whoops, really bad timing there! We both are already scheduled off work so we are having a staycation instead. We haven't been on a real vacation in years so we are disappointed, to say the least. I have my crafts...stitching, and quilting, and other hobbies but poor Dash does not! I fear his staycation time will be boring and he will probably not enjoy it as I will. I am hoping to start a new quilt and make great progress on BotB and hopefully help keep Dash entertained a little until I go back to work.

For my readers stuck at home and those furloughed from work, I hope you can make the best of it! For those on the "front lines" with me, please stay safe and well. I pray this ends soon for all of us.

A New Start of Biblical Proportions

Several weeks ago I kitted up a new start! Books of the Bible by My Big Toe Designs. I am beyond excited to have a new start, a bigger design than ones than I've worked on for the past couple of years. It's got lovely words = fun to stitch, sampler properties = fun to stitch, 3 colors (well, actually 4, cause I'm adding one) = fun to stitch...who could resist?


I had to finish up a couple of other things I had going but on my last day off work, I gave it a few hours:


I'm loving it!!! DMC, 1 over 2 on 32 count Legacy Lugana by Picture this Plus. This fabric is awesome and I haven't stitched with one thread in a while and I'm thrilled with the look. Gosh, I'm gushing!

Please nobody point out the unfinished projects still in my left sidebar. That would be rude. Y'all just plan on burying me with my unfinished stuff or it might not ever get done!

Terribly Late TUSAL

February's Totally Useless Stitch A Long gathering on the 23rd wasn't truly forgotten, I was simply too tired to turn on my computer. Some days it's all one can do to get one's self to work and home again!


My stitching ORTS are sparse but I had some.


My sewing ORTS are rather sparse as well since I made the quilt using precuts but creating the binding gave me a few to show.
