No TUSAL photo this month. Not only have I not had time to stitch, we had a major life-changing event yesterday that is preventing me from being home to even photograph the reclaimed pasta jar.
Seeing as my husband and I have been in a mad dash to finish the nursery before "Peanut's" arrival, I haven't accomplished a single stitch this past month. So, rather than post photos showing a lack of progress, I've decided to post a floss toss photo of a project that has yet to be started: Peanut's Birth Announcement.
This kit, from Symbol of Excellence Publishers, is titled "Disney's 101 Dalmatians: Pup & Teddy Bear". As usual, I'll be substituting the included white aida for something a bit nicer, in this case Silkweaver's "Dusty Blue" 32ct Lugana. I'll be adding Peanut's name and birth info under the puppy to make this into a birth announcement that matches our 101 Dalmatians themed nursery.

It's TUSAL time! Here's my reclaimed pasta jar next to my newest ultrasound photo (taken at 35 weeks). Stubborn kid wouldn't let us get a proper shot. You can see most of his face, though his arm is up over his chin. He sleeps like his daddy!
I've been trying my hardest to stitch away at the "Baby Monkey Birth Announcement". I want to get it finished and gifted before I start the birth announcement project for my own baby, who's due in a little over a month.
As you can see, I've made quite a bit of progress on the second sock monkey. Like his partner, he's a time consuming pain in the butt due to constant color changes. I can't wait until he's finished! The rest of the project is mostly words, borders, large blocks of a single color, and random floating bi-color shapes, so that should stitch fairly quickly. The monkey-head safety pins in the upper corners will take a bit of time, but shouldn't be nearly as difficult as another full-bodied monkey.

Happy Year of the Dragon! It's the first new moon of the year, meaning it's time to post my first TUSAL photo. Here's my reclaimed pasta sauce jar next to my favorite ultrasound photo (taken at 18 weeks; I'm currently 32 weeks along).
I really haven't had much stitching time this year, considering only nine days have elapsed. I did, however, manage to squeeze a few hours of stitching in on my travel project (the Mill Hill Vanilla Cupcake kit) during my three-hour glucose test at the doctor's office.
Due to my lack of foresite, I did not remember to photograph my project earlier in the day while the sun was still out. All of my attempts to take pictures with artificial light resulted failed, so I had to use the scanner this time around.
