Empty and Totally Useless


I kept seeing Totally Useless Stitch A Long Posts and thought why? TUSAL isn't until next week...nope. It was Tuesday. I Totally...Uselessly...missed it. I've been too busy this last month. I haven't stitched a single stitch! My ORT bowl in situ:


Empty. So sad. This old wooden leaf bowl always sat by the telephone when I was growing up, filled with pens, pencils, paperclips, stray screws, and other pocket debris. Now it sits by my sewing machine collecting threads.


This is what I was creating last month and couldn't show. Aren't they cute? I made these potholders and oven mitt for my daughter, Jessie. She loves to cook! I found the fabric at JoAnn's and quilted it crosswise at one-inch intervals. The oven mitt is a free tutorial from Professor Pincushion.

What are you working on?

=^..^=

We want to see your ORTs! Leave a comment on this post with a link to your June TUSAL post so we can come visit! If I hold a Totally Useless giveaway your comment will earn you an extra entry.

Wondering what a TUSAL is and why all these people are posting pictures of rubbish? Click here to learn more and join the fun!


Thank you for visiting my blog today!

What a lovely gift for your daughter. My mom is a seamstress and has made me potholders and oven mitts and they are my favorite. Store bought ones just don't cut it. So be prepared to make more of these!! :)

Fantastic fabric for the mitt and holders by the way.

Aren't you going through some kind of strange withdrawal from stitching right about now?

Great pot holders and oven mitt.

CJ said...

This month I got my ORTs reported on time. The pots holder ad mits are fabulous. I wish I have more time to sew with my machine. How the water in your area? Any flooding?
