Stitch from stash

Another month went by and I've stitched only from the stash. Really, I even didn't stitch that much... I started this little ornie and I finished it - the stitching part I mean.
July was a challenging month, month of recovery I would say. I've survived my birthday and made career changes - now I'm looking forward to the rest of this year.

So long my friends,

Another month went by and I still did not broke the budget. Yey!!! I am so proud of myself  (ha, ha). If you scroll couple post down you'll see what I was stitching this month. However, the last few days I faithfully worked on My Sunshine.

While stitching I listened to many versions of this popular song (just to make sure that skies are grey, not blue) and my favorite definitely was by Anne Murray:

Another month went by and I did not buy any stash. This month I mainly worked on 'Mind Independent and Free' designed by Carriage House Samplings. When is done it will look like this:

 and this is my progress so far:

I'm stitching this piece on 40ct linen with silk floss. I guess my eyes are getting older because sometimes it's hard to see these tiny threads...

And look what I saw last week:

a mama bear with a little cub! I didn't dare to leave the car and the picture I took with my phone. Unexpectedly it turned out not bad at all!

Happy Dance and Stitch from Stash

My Rabbit Run is finished!

 

Fabric: Belfast Linen, Antique White 

Floss: DMC

Day started: March 27th

Day finished: April 28th

It was fun to stitch this lovely design and I have done it in one month. Now I'm doing a little rabbit ornament that I can show you next time. It's easy one night finish...

And since I was stitching this project exclusively for a whole month I did not shop at all. I can't believe it but, really, I did not spent a penny on the stash for a whole month (means I can spend more in May :))

So far, so good - I have spent only $2 for floss. The whole month I was working on two projects only; the horse and a February ornament. It was a slow month for my stitching and I did not accomplish much...  I hope I'll be more productive in March.

January was a great month, I bought only one chart! Rovaris had a new chart, a lovely horse and since we are having Chinese new year and this year is a year of a horse, and it is my birthday year (yeah, I am a wooden horse) I decided to stitch some horses, and I couldn't say no to this one

 

I have a fabric and floss in my stash for this project so really this month I spent only 19.62 Canadian (13 EUR). If I round this up to $20 - I have $5 that I can carry over to the next month.

 

stash and the start

 In January I participated in Crazy Challenge. I did 15 more new starts, all from stash. Stay tuned to see them 'grow'.
