I mailed out birthday greetings late. I made plans for stuff for this week, thinking it was next week. I thought our Totally Useless Stitch A Long was yesterday not LAST WEEK!!! How confusing. So here are my orts:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHMjrVhd760GauV4cAHUmWNKiS-5XXxTYDCa4-ot8v69lP7gUp8aFMtnd962wVqWEUrBQlDgvjWo1Kl_5LVruUIXunXkA0ueEDo_4zXg2EYNuXwDwbZVavHATuN1e3a7YeHf-FARp7GQA/s2048/TUSAL+05112021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHMjrVhd760GauV4cAHUmWNKiS-5XXxTYDCa4-ot8v69lP7gUp8aFMtnd962wVqWEUrBQlDgvjWo1Kl_5LVruUIXunXkA0ueEDo_4zXg2EYNuXwDwbZVavHATuN1e3a7YeHf-FARp7GQA/s320/TUSAL+05112021.JPG" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">I know this is an odd ort report photo from me! I took this weird pic angle to try to hide the fact there are so few orts in my jar. If I dumped them out for the photo, you'd be all, "Eight? You have eight orts since the last new moon?

That's the best thing about our stitch a long - no rules! So the New Moon was last Monday and now it's Wednesday. Warmer weather means busier people and we all get that, right? I have pitifully few orts this lunar cycle:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHDRBGlc-RXvffxOWIut85rmj2l0UDf01Tf_lnd_v00VfwlsygQHRZjXjCdIbK2OK2jEuAPlHLDbIw1iP1Nup_vqAQ1geLmUppKzVnYPGU-8f_9yPwq6xlGtWvfdyA3NnLKRCeRvqQiL4/s2048/TUSAL+04122021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHDRBGlc-RXvffxOWIut85rmj2l0UDf01Tf_lnd_v00VfwlsygQHRZjXjCdIbK2OK2jEuAPlHLDbIw1iP1Nup_vqAQ1geLmUppKzVnYPGU-8f_9yPwq6xlGtWvfdyA3NnLKRCeRvqQiL4/s320/TUSAL+04122021.JPG" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">In fact, I dumped them out because I couldn't see them in the jar! I'm sure to have more next TUSAL. Once again, I have no sewing orts to share. <i>Books of the Bible</i> is creeping along, so close to a finish but not quite there. Decisions need to be made for my next stitch. Probably something fun and colorful for Summer which is quickly approaching.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I had wonderful results at my yearly physical exam today. My health the past few years has not been the greatest as some of you know. Things are turning around and I am so thankful! I feel better and the tests are showing why. I give God the glory!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.56px;">=^</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.56px;">..</b><span style="font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.56px;">^=</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.56px;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.56px;">Now it is YOUR turn...we want to see your ORTs!

I got quite a bit done on<i> Books of the Bible.</i> Using one strand doesn't create a lot of orts though! My sewing orts are zero so no boring picture of that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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 <i>BotB</i> and hopefully help keep Dash entertained a little until I go back to work.</div>

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. </div>

Several weeks ago I kitted up a new start! <i>Books of the Bible</i> by <a href="http://mybigtoedesigns.com/" target="_blank">My Big Toe Designs</a>. 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?</div>

If it's got letters, I'll probably want to stitch it. Combine letters and pears and I'll <i><u>have to</u></i> stitch it, probably more than once! Note this <a href="https://itsdaffycat.blogspot.com/2014/05/it-maybe-totally-useless.html" target="_blank">May 2014 TUSAL post</a>, complete with letters and pear. I wonder why I never posted a finish of that project? This is supposed to be a stitching blog after all! That was right around the time I started quilting...hmmm...interesting.</div>

...and we're back! It's been nearly a year since I've posted a Totally Useless Stitch A Long update. My last TUSAL photo was of an empty jar and I've saved every ORT since then:</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I stitched more than I thought I did this last year. However, I cannot remember what all I stitched! Bad stitching blogger!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My ORT jar is shown here with my current stitch, "Pear Tree" by Little House Needleworks. I've stitched this a time or two before and it's a very "zen" project. This stitch was chosen when I was going to spend all day at the hospital for Dash to have a procedure and I needed an easy travel stitch. </div>

I have been treating myself whenever I can. Little indulgences that make life sweeter. Yesterday I treated myself to a mani-pedi:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUjgYSc35uYLnd_MRZf9IbpiL2v30p4LpaIZnJi07kaI8P_RT565RONrQZLLyDnRm2woPPtZdMhrppltNOTP7DsgW5t6Zy0x3MT7vzksVDierXe7Y3-zgAt0nHfWSsL7TwigrN2gR0Dis/s1600/ManiPedi.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUjgYSc35uYLnd_MRZf9IbpiL2v30p4LpaIZnJi07kaI8P_RT565RONrQZLLyDnRm2woPPtZdMhrppltNOTP7DsgW5t6Zy0x3MT7vzksVDierXe7Y3-zgAt0nHfWSsL7TwigrN2gR0Dis/s320/ManiPedi.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Life is definitely sweeter with bubblegum pink toenails, right?<br />
<br />
I treat myself every now and again with a thrift store shopping trip with my dad, who can ferret out the best shops to go to. On one of these trips, I found these Wilson pattern boxes. They are perfect to store sewing supplies in!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDTIyC4PtO4KgZHJjo2ESzsbLC2cpHMRE8RI4DIL_0mA91z9eNk4BD6xRPRRpblH0tog8grcYo1cRm4Hrryfo8PYtacI4pIR76ihnO2mcLiVpbXPzkIB-dMVhN9SmpDvR2CuYyINF_X60/s1600/Sewing+Boxes.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDTIyC4PtO4KgZHJjo2ESzsbLC2cpHMRE8RI4DIL_0mA91z9eNk4BD6xRPRRpblH0tog8grcYo1cRm4Hrryfo8PYtacI4pIR76ihnO2mcLiVpbXPzkIB-dMVhN9SmpDvR2CuYyINF_X60/s320/Sewing+Boxes.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Don't you love those retro colors? They certainly brighten up my studio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I treated myself to this Hyacinth and to a couple of Amaryllis (flowers not shown) that now have taken over the kitchen window. The Hyacinth smells up the entire kitchen with a yummy scent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
These may not be the treat they appeared because my nose gets stuffy every time I'm home! I guess the allergies are worth having flowers in wintertime.<br />
<br />
What do you treat yourself to?<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lots of stuff has happened while I was off gathering myself. I finished <i>Merry Sunshine</i>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I adore this finish. Merry was such a pleasure to stitch. I really enjoy stitching letters and words and La D Da really made some fun ones to stitch!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got another tattoo:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The verse reads:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Take a Breath</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Let Them Grow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A little tribute to my Mom (who loved growing things) inspired by Silver Creek Samplers design "<i>Dandy Dreams</i>." Have I shocked you? Have I even ever mentioned I like tattoos???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also taught myself to cuff too-short jeans into capri pants, as shown in the picture.</div>

My deepest apologies for neglecting my blog for so long. My mother's death threw me off my center for a long time. The new job was a godsend helping me deal with my grief and I am approaching my one-year anniversary of working there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shortly after my mother"s death, I happened to hear a Ray Charles song, "<i>I Can't Stop Loving You</i>" and it became my anthem and solace in these sad days. One of the verses always spoke to me and I could picture them, a tiny tribute, stitched in pink.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

We have no ORTs as well! At least we are on time for once. Since I have no ORTs this month, I'm expecting ya'll to have picked up my slack! You better have lots!<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> I'm just kidding! </span>Wanna see my lonely, empty, sad ORT containers?</div>

Now, why do I have empty ORT containers? I've been busy the past several week's job hunting, interviewing and accepting a position. I actually started training just this morning, Yes, my days as a Lady of Leisure are officially over! On to new, bigger and better. I will have to get my mojo back soon as I will need the stress relief, right?</div>

One for each of the hospice ladies that cared for my mom these past months. Mom's death came sooner than expected but I was able to pull myself together enough to finish the gifts. Dad gave them out over the last week. I hope they brought a little holiday cheer. </div>
