TUSAL Post and A New Start!

Hi everyone!  I've been working a good bit on Spooked so I can get part 3 finished.  I'm still loving stitching this wonderful chart and it is going to be so cute and I can't wait to show it to you :)

I do have a new start!  It is called The Arab Tent and is my first HAED that I've ever tried.  I am giving parking and griding a good old college try and so far I'm really liking it.  I'm trying to start as many of the threads that show up in each 20 x 20 block and so far it is manageable.  I watched a few youtube videos to get me started but I'm finding it is all about what makes you comfortable. So here is what I've done so far with it.

Today I have a picture of my cast offs or ORTS for the TUSAL and am a day late to the party but do have a little bit of threads to show that I've been stitching a good bit.  

I've only been collecting them since the first of August so I don't have a ton of ORTs so I grabbed a mason jar of course and started adding in my ends to the jar.  You can participate in the SAL over at It's Daffycat.  

Well that is all I have to show you today.  I'm going to get snug in my stitching chair since it's a nice rainy day.  Good stitchy weather!
