This is my 2010 jar of orts. An ort is the little scrap of thread left on the end of the needle when you finish stitching. It's a term that means "scrap". Also in my jar are extra little beads, bands from floss, and a lot of used dull needles.
It's so fun to look at the strata and think of all the projects I completed last year. That pile of scraps represents a lot of hours of work.
It's time to empty it out and start again. If you want to play along, sign up with Daffycat.
4 people stopped folding laundry to write:
I generally throw mine away, but that looks really cool. Thanks for the idea.
Yay! Welcome to the TUSAL!
So, where is your 2011 one??
Are you just adding to this from last time? That's a LOT of stitching!
