"Hello, my name is Connie and I am a stash hoarder." Quick, simple introduction, and being honest with my shortcomings. Ha!!!
I am an occasionally chatty lurker from various message board communities relating to needlework/stitching. My commonly used handle (FeySidhe) on the boards is carried over for the title of this blog.
General purpose for this blog is a visual accounting for my ongoing rotation of projects, in progress and completed. It exists as proof of what I can do. Haphazard attempts with finishing will be included too...

I have to admit that previous attempts with maintaining a blog have been mixed a best.
Hence, I am including my work in the TUSAL challenge. A link for Daffycat's blog with the 2014 challenge is included in the sidebar. As part of the challenge, participants document their ORT collections based on their current work.
ORT or ort: Capitalized, it stands for Old Ratty Threads, the cast-off thread ends a needleworker cuts away. These ends are often saved in clear jars as a decorative object. The word, "ort" does appear in the dictionary, meaning: a bit of something left over; usually concerning food.
Stitching ORT cycles are based approximately on the lunar new moon.
Now, to the general accounting of my current stash of ORTs.
