Stitch From Stash 2014

Hello to anyone who has hung in here with me. Sorry I was gone for so long but I have been crazy busy at work and stitching. I went back to full-time this year and although I am enjoying it I seem to only have time to stitch lol.

I (along with 129 others) have joined the Stitch From Stash 2014 Group that is Mel's idea at Epic Stitching. We have committed to only spending $25 a month (or less). Luckily I have so many projects in my stash and lots of fabric and floss. I am hoping to spend as little as possible. We are to report our progress by the 28th of each month on our blog. See the method to my madness?!? This will also help me to make time to blog!

First let me show you my final finish for 2013:

Jingle As Ye Enter

Using tea dyed 14 count Aida

Recommended Floss by Victorian Motto

Then between Winter Break and snow days I really got 2014 off to a great start.

Finish #1 - 2014
Baby It's Cold Outside

Tea dyed 16 count Aida and recommended threads

Finish #2 - 2014

Gift for my wonderful #1 daughter's birthday

Tea dyed 14 count Aida and recommended threads

And WIP block #3 of Shores From Hawk Run Hollow

I am happy to report that I spent $0 and all were stitched from my stash!!!

All these snow days are really taking a toll on my paycheck so this is the perfect year to "stitch from stash".  Thank you Mel for a wonderful idea whose timing couldn't have been better. Whenever I feel the itch to stash shop I go on 123Stitch and add to my wish list! 

I hope all has been well with all of you and I look forward to sharing many finishes with you!!!

Stay warm and dry and happy stitching!

Hugs,

Rose
