Mr.Pricklypants is showing off the TUSAL jar to some friendly elves!

Mr.Prickle Pants gives a thumbs up for catching more thread!

October's TUSAL

Mr.PricklePants is visiting his Plot Bunny friend this month and trying to write a novel

September TUSAL Update and I joined a sew along...

 September TUSAL!

Mr.Prickle Pants thinks he might go dressed as a "Floss Monster" for Halloween.

And I joined a sew along over at SewHappy It's week two and if you run over there now you might be able to snag the first week's pattern still. Otherwise you will only have a week to download the new patterns. 

 

I'm really enjoying it. Also am hoping I don't let myself get behind too far. As you can see I'm still working on week 1 and 2. But the patterns work up fast enough, I just have to do them!

Things I really need to get done: BABY QUILT! 

August TUSAL

Ohhhnoooo This is what I get for attempting to update on a phone. Well I was out of town over the weekend at Dragon Con. SO worth going even if you think you aren't into all that "nerdy" stuff. Though it will make lots more sense to you. But I always enjoy the artists and seeing their creations.

I did go in costume Not an over the top one Just Sarah Connor as a waitress from Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles tv series. I didn't expect anyone to actually recognize me but they did! So I spent the week before leaving and my lack of an update freaking out over last minute sewing on that. Note to self 4 am sewing the day you leave...not a good plan! At least I was able to gather my harried sewing threads and toss them into my TUSAL jar...

"Is it soft enough to jump on yet?"

Second July Tusal

Posted in...August...LOL

Mr. Prickle-pants is symbolically drowning in all his projects :O

JULY Tusal

Mr. Prickly-pants is trying out the new quilt

Ah yes another month slightly late. It is becoming a worrying trend. I've been distracted by Summer in general, that quilt up there (my very first ever!) and The Parasol Protectorate series of novels. Which if you like steampunk and wonderfully witty repartee you should most certainly read.
Hoping to soon be done with the quilt to post proper pictures of it and to have it done before the intended recipient is ten!

June's TUSAL!

I keep having cool ideas for posts I could do. Unfortunatly those ideas usually come to me at work and I've often forgotten about them by the time I'm off.
I figure I'm doing a good job if I even remember to update my TUSAL posts :D

"No silly! That's not a beach blanket for you to lay on!"

TUSAL May!

This is now a TUSAL blog! Haha.

This here is a quiet blog. Not like all the craft blogs I stalk who have amazing designs and things I want to make. In fact I'm doing rather badly this year making anything. But I'm still plugging on with my TUSAL jar!
I was afraid it wouldn't have anything in it but it's slowly getting fuller; I'm happy to say.

"Mr. Pricklepants spies some stitching peeking out from behind the TUSAL jar!"

April TUSAL

Soooooo
1. I am not good at blogging and
2. I stitch waaaay less than I thought I did

BUT Here is April anyway!

"Mr Prickle Pants has taken up knitting and so has thrown in some unwound sweater yarn"

Also I have taken to making those steamed buns you occasionally find at Chinese Buffets. The recipe I use is ridiculously easy to make it just takes some time. This time I added in the middle red bean paste that I found at an Asian Grocery store already canned.
They turned out AMAZING If I do say so myself. This picture shows them slightly deflated but right out of the steamer they were so yummy and pretty looking.

TUSAL March

My mom has the camera so these are phone pics. AND these are even edited so maybe they don't look quite so crappy.

"SUCCESS! 

Mr.Prickly Pants's spines did the trick in catching some thread!"

Went out to feed the birds today and I'm in love with these grey tights. Well I'm in love with most tights but these were new!

Late update!

Okay so I'm doing rather badly so far on updating my TUSAL jar.
I was gone into the city this weekend to visit a friend and missed getting a pic.

"Mr. Prickle Pants hopes his spines will soon attract some thread"

This month and actually this whole year has been busy. Clearing out my Grandma's house and getting used to a new job hasn't left much time for crafting. 

I did sneak in a Valentine's day craft. I'm not sure where I got this idea I have a feeling it might have been "Family Fun" magazine? Toilet paper tube painted red with beads and string. I was all excited for some thread for my jar and ended up not having any left to throw in there :O Ah well, next month!

Totally Useless Stitch Along!

Okay so this is a day late. I hope it still counts! I blame losing my camera. *nods*

There is my jar! All fresh and empty...and maybe still dirty... I need to soak the label off. I have a couple other jars; I like to keep my origami stars in cool jar shapes But I think this one will work for my TUSAL  jar. Here's to hoping I have something in it next pic!
