October SFS

Time for the monthly Stitch from Stash report

Starting Budget = £70.05

£ spent = 0

£ earnt = £18 for Magical Night

I did also finish the Lake District sampler but as I'm being paid for that and it didn't come from my stash I'm not going to count it

SFS September

It's time for my monthly Stitch from Stash report

Starting budget = £50.05

£ spent = 0

£ earnt = ?

Budget left = £70.05

Not spent a single penny this month :) and I did have a finish that came completely from my stash but I forgot to record it so I'll add it on next month.

And a pic because I don't like posting without one, last weeks progress on the Lake District Sampler the end is in sight :)

SFS August

Time for my Stitch from Stash report.

Starting budget = £46

Spent = £3.95

Earnt = £8

Budget left = £50.05

I spent the £3.95 on JCS ornament preview issue and earnt the £8 with the plums ornament, it was started before SFS started this year but this was very little done.

Very short for me this month but it's up :)

SFS July report

It's time for the monthly Stitch from Stash report.

Starting budget = £20

£ spent = 0

£ earnt = £6 for Spring 

Budget left = £26

I started this for an exchange earlier in the year and then decided that it wasn't suitable after all so put it aside.  Last weekend I decided to take a week off from the Lake District sampler as I've been getting a little fed up with it so pulled it out and finished it off.

It's an old freebie from Brown House Studio simply called Spring.

I stitched it on an oddment of 23 count I found in my stash and changed the colours to those that I had .

I'm quite pleased with it and I'm glad I've finished it and can cross a PHD off the list :)

Starting budget = 98.55 (78.55 carried forward and 29 for May)

£ spent = 0

Time for my Stitch from Stash report

Starting Budget = £81.26 (£20 for April, rest carried forward)

£ spent =  £2.71

£ earnt =  0

Budget left = £78.55

This month's piccie is last week's progress on Recipe for a Magical Night

Bowling season has started which means 3 evenings a week with my stitching time so progress will slow down now until September

SFS March report

Time for my SFS report for the month

Starting budget = £62.12 (20 for March the rest carried over)

£ spent = £3.86

£ earnt = £3

Budget left = £61.26

The £ spent was on the express chart for Recipe for a Magical Night and the £ earnt is for the Easter exchange card and project that I can't share yet and I took £1 off because I had to buy a chart for it last month so it wasn't from stash.

 And because I don't like posting without a pic a cover I made for myself as a spare so I have one to use when one needs a bath or I just fancy a change

Stitch from Stash February report

It's SFS report time once more and this month I've spent a little but earnt more from finishes so have finished with more £ than I started :)

Starting budget = £38.12 (20 for Feb the rest carried over from Jan)
£ spent = £6
£ earnt = £10
Budget left = £42.12

So what did I earn my £10 on?  Well first there was the bookmark for an exchange but I only counted the threads for that as I had to buy both the chart and the aida band for it.  Next was £4 for the card in the same post and lastly was another £4 for my Union Jack Bear finish.   Incidentally I'm still looking for the 3 charts in that post, I thought I had a lead on 2 of them but turns out that although they were listed at the ONS they weren't in stock so if anyone can help me in the search for them I'd be very grateful

I spent the £6 on a Lizzie Kate chart and one for another exchange that I'll be starting on next week.

Stitch from Stash Jan report

I'm sticking with SFS again this year but we have a few changes the most notable of which is that we get a £ reward for finishing things from our stash but they have to have been there for more than 6 months to count and you can only count the stitches from this year on any PHD's

£ spent = £3.88

£ Earnt = £2

Budget left = £18.12

New starts from stash = 3.  Sunflower panel, In the Post and Home is where the sunflowers grow

PHD's worked on = Charmed Hearts(Finished) and Toy Gatherer

My spending this month was on a chart booklet and a piece of aida banding so I could do an exchange project which only needs a little bit of back stitch now

My finish was Charmed Hearts but 90% of it was completed before Jan 1st this year so I took a rough guess at my £ earned from it
