Stitch From Stash March

Mel from Epic Stitching started a Stitch From Stash group to encourage us to stay on a budget of $25 or less per month for cross stitching.  Click the link to see the list of blogs that are participating.

My carry over from February was $24 for a total budget of $49 this month.  Here is my check-in for March:

Amount Spent:  $47
$10 - Neighborhood Friends chart by Little House Needleworks for animal care fundraiser.

$5 - Forever in my Heart chart by The Sunflower Seed

I'm going to stitch this with both my dogs' names and frame it together with their photos. They both went over the rainbow bridge in 2010.

$32 - Cross stitch fabric from MCG Textiles (They were having a sale and I couldn't resist!)

I'm going to use the Starlite Aida to stitch the Brooke's Books Advent Animals. There will be 25 free charts, from now until October 2015.

Now I only have $2 to carry over to April.

This looks like a great Halloween design, but I'll wait until I finish a few of my Halloween WIPs before I buy it.
