Stitch from Stash - February

Spent: $20
Earned: $8

Monthly total: $12
Overall total: -$59.55

My only spend this month was on a destash page for a bundle of aida/linen/evenweave/stitchables.  I don't have a great variety of fabric so it was a good way for me to get a bit of everything in some varied colours.

More to the point I EARNED this month!!!

Even more to the point it was my first finish EVER!!!!!!! (I do big projects, don't judge...).  I got fed up with the confetti in the Snow Queen so decided I should do one of my smaller charts for a change. 

As such, with out further ado, I give you Carpe Cakem by The Sunflower Seed!


Stitched on boring old white 18 ct aida in DMC.  I did substitute the french knots for delica beads though (I hate french knots) and I changed the "Yum" to "Nom" because that is how I roll.

It's 70 x 69 stitches (tiny by my monsterous standards) but that does mean it falls in the $8 credit category and counts as I have had it for over 6 months.

March does mean it's my birthday (yay) which means money for stash (bigger yay)!  The downside is I will be going back to my big projects so might not get a finish to try and creep back to credit.  Sadface.
