Month: April
Spent: $15.00
Earn: $0.00
Today's post is going to be a fairly short one. If you are unsure as to what Stitch from Stash is check out Mel's Blog for details. I did spend some money this month on restocking a few of my DMC colours that I was running low on. Even though I haven't kept to a zero spend every month so far I am really happy with how little I have spent on cross stitch supplies. This has led to an increase in stitching pieces from my stash, which is a great feeling.
I did manage to finish a few smalls this month and will do a post on these soon, but I will add them into my earned budget next month. I have also decided to do my personal budget experiment posts separately, so my trial with using a weekly menu to reduce grocery and takeout costs will be up soon as well.
I am currently in the process of making some changes to my blog, layout, structure and content. I hope you can all stick with me for a little while longer. Hopefully I will have new and better posts coming up very soon.
Well done on your SFS budget. When I first set up my blog I enjoyed tinkering with fonts, colours, layouts etc. I 'll be interested to see what you come up with. :)
ReplyDeleteA work in progress with your new blog look :) Looking forward to your next post!

ReplyDeleteI'm too scared to change the look on my blog :D I tried it a few times but it never looked quite right....thank goodness for back up templates!
Good job with the budget! I'm looking forward to seeing how your blog changes - I've changed mine so many times, its hard to settle on something.

ReplyDeleteHmmm I'm looking forward to the grocery/menu experiment. Kudos on you SFS. I'll be bonucing with eagerness to see your finishes because I bet they are darned cool (and, frankly I hope they inspire me to pick up needling speed.).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your great comment. I am looking forward to writing my menu post as it has been a challenge for me. So glad you are looking forward to seeing the finishes. I will hopefully manage to get some pictures and have them posted very soon.
