Goals for the Month of January, 2011...

Do I have goals this month? Not really... I've been fiddling with "Light at Sea" from the Dimensions Matted Accents collection... Only, it's losing the flag... I'm Canadian, so I don't think an American flag is gonna work out so well here... And I really don't feel like switching to a Canadian flag, so, I'm just gonna leave it out and fill in the area with appropriate cloud-like stitches... Then it can be multi-national!!!

Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long...

I... completely forgot to post this... Whoops! :)

Yes, I play Guitar Hero... In fact, my recent obsession of that is why my ORT jar has not changed contents in the past few weeks... Also, it was the holidays, and I had family down... Hoping for some new ORTs soon-ish!

ORT Jar...

I figured I should post a before picture of the ORT jar of doom... Look at that thing!!!! It's enormous!!!!! And look at all the ORTs! I think I've been collecting since this whole silly ORT thing started, because I sure didn't add much to the jar in the past twelve months, seeing as how I was in school from September to April, and then had a relatively stitch free summer where I worked and played back home for four months... All in all though, I think I had more finishes then I give myself credit for... There were two of "Nova Scotia Tartan Map", two free kits from Cross-Stitcher Magazine, "Cut Roses", "Tabby's Friend", something I stole from the internets to do for Jenn for Christmas last year (I know, bad stitcher!)... That's seven things I can recall during a time when I swear I didn't do much stitching...

Maybe it wasn't as much of a stitchy slump as I thought... :)

Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long!!!

I've joined up in the Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long for 2011 (Check out Sharon's blog for details: http://itsdaffycat.blogspot.com/)... I've been saving my ORT's for awhile, and have quite a large container for them to live in... I didn't sign-up for last year's, but I played along anyway... I'll have to start taking some pictures of my jar!
