It’s that time again!
Month: April
Spent: $30.29
Earned: Not tracking
This month I spent $30.29, which is above the monthly limit, but I believe I am okay because I had $57.77 unspent from January-March. All told, I am doing well. I’ve spent $47.52 on cross stitch supplies so far this year, which includes this month’s purchases of floss (the the baby sampler) and a couple of kits from AliExpress (more reviews?).
I am up to approximately $144 on all craft supplies for the year, plus around $50 spent on Perler beads for the little man. He has become somewhat obsessed with them, and has actually made some pretty cool creations (most influenced by Minecraft…).
Which brings us to tomorrow… I’ll be heading over to the spring Creativ Festival and I know I will be spending a fair little bit of money. I vendor that I really like, Quilt-a-Bag, will be there and I will likely pick up a couple of kits. I’ve also got a small list of chainmaille supplies I would like and I plan to look at the yarn too. (Would you believe that I haven’t bought any yarn this year?!)
For those of you taking part in Stitch from Stash, I hope your year is going well too!

Wish I can go to the Creative Festival. I guess I’ll have to wait till October. Have fun 🙂
If the baby samplers are gifts I think the threads are exempt? Or maybe I just make up my own rules LOL
Have a great time at the Festival.
Shop well and make us all proud — I know you can! Have much fun knowing that we’ll all expect a full report. 🙂
Congratulations staying within the SFS budget. Looking forward to seeing what you find at the festival.
I hope you had fun at Creativ Festival. My daughter and I were going to go but when she had a change of plans, I decided to give it a miss this year. My bank account likely thanks me but I did miss getting to see what was new.
