So.....I know I am WAY late reporting this, and so it won't qualify for the SFS report but I figured I'd would post it anyway. Budget: $85.10 Earned: $0 Spent: - $20.20 Remaining: $64.90 Now since this doesn't carry over to the next SFS it doesn't really matter much. So $7 of that went towards a Mill Hill bead ornament kit that I found at my new LNS :) So, what did I buy for $13.20? Well there was a garage sale going on locally because of a liquidation sale of an old quilting store. Sadly the owner had passed and the family was getting rid of her store stash. They had floss, aida, fabric, kits, completed quilts and half completed quilts that had been used to display patterns. Pre-sorted Sorted They had floss in bags (25 skeins for $1) or individual floss in a bin that you dug through. Thomas and I started digging through the bin to find colors that I needed but after having little success at that, I decided to just take my chance with the...

Previous: $60.10 Spent: $0 Earned: $0 Next Month: $85.10 So I didn't do too much stitching this month. Started my new job and have been busy with that for a week now. It's been interesting falling into a new routine and I think Roxy is still a little confused when I leave in the morning. I did make some progress on Glaceon but I'll set that project aside and work on 12 days next month.  Still have the tail to finish, the right design so it's pointing downward like the others, and the light blue accents on the front leg. Played a lot of Diablo III with hubby and friends and kinda lost my stitching bug for a bit since I didn't feel like working on anything. Also, went to Comic Con up in Denver yesterday and had a blast! Met Randal Spangler (not at Con but at the Art festival going on not to far from Con), Karen Hallion, Nei Ruffino and Jewel Staite! Randal asked me about how the cross-stitching projects of his artwork work out as he said he thought it w...

Budget: $52.05 Earned: $4.00? (13h x 59w)  Spent:  - $20.94 May Budget: ($35.10 + $25) = $60.10 First off, I'm not 100% sure about the 'Earned' credit amount. It's either $2 or $4 depending on what I go with. Just the stitch h & w is $2 but if I do the math shown under the rules (13+59)/2 = 36 and so that would be $4. So I went with $4 but if anyone knows for sure please let me know! So what did I finish? My NCCIH logo. For those who don't know what NCCIH is it stands for "Nerd Central Command International Headquarters". Carla started it by calling her stitching/craft area "Nerd Central Command" and then we decided that since our stitching hangout gals were from all over the world (Canada, Alaska, Germany, Netherlands, Arizona and Texas , Oklahoma , Colorado) we should have our areas the "NCC International Headquarters". So, I created the pattern last year but had yet to stitch it up. I chose 'spring' themed colo...

Month : March Spent: $0 Earned: $0 Total for next month: $52.05 Well, I honestly didn't do a lot of stitching this month...at least not towards the end of it. Thomas and I started playing Diablo 3 again so we've gotten back into that since they added some new content and stuff with the latest patch. I'm loving my new fire wizard build! Previous build was a cold wizard but they lowered the effectiveness of my main skill for that build so I changed it. As Thomas and Dean put it (one of Thomas's army friends that we play with sometimes) it's like calling for artillery when I show up in the fight. Meteors, fire hydras (dragons), and fire tornadoes go everywhere! ^_^ No....I'm not a pyro I swear >.>  Okay, I admit I it....I might, definatly , have a problem when it comes to playing my fire wizard but she's just sooo much fun and kicks all the demon's butts so easily! *cough* Right....stitching stuff! So I also got a nice squishy from Carla ...

Budget February: $29.00 Earned: $0 Spent: $1.95 Next Month Budget: $27.05 So, this month I spent a total of $1.95. I had a $20 gift card from Hobby Lobby that I received as a Christmas present. I got 3 different sewing fabrics & sizes on clearance, a plastic tote to hold all my cross-stitching fabric and miscellaneous fabric, and 5 skeins of floss that I needed for one of my projects. Btw: thank you soooo much Mel! I already have a few ideas for the fabric you sent. ^_^ I finished 'Day 2' of my J.E. "Twelve Days" along with 1 angel and started on the middle, finishing the text 'Twelve Days of Christmas' I just need to add the flowers (and their back stitching) and a few other stitches before I move on to the 2nd angel and 'Day 3'. However, since my dA group, 'Stitching Pirates' is hosting a contest that focus's on tribal designs, and it ends next month, I decided to stop my "Twelve Days" and work on it. I picked a...
