Stitch from Stash - Craft Budget April

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.
