$0.00 Spent
$0.00 in Finishes
That's right I did it! Another month of zero spending. Since the "big blown budget" day (early March) with Jeannette I have spent zero dollars on stash! I know many of you are thinking, well that's not all that impressive Mel, but for me it really is (sadly).
Dragons Update:
If you can believe it... I am about 4 hours away from finishing Dragons!!!
I've gone from 86 colors down to 1 color remaining to stitch with. It's large blocks of stitching, so kinda boring but quick. This means I should *fingers crossed* finish Dragons well in advance of my deadline this Friday!!!!
My one color left is DMC3823 (pale yellow) stitched on ivory 25ct evenweave. Like I said, real exciting. LOL.
Sorry no pics today as I'm wanting to make the next update be the completed Dragons! So here I go, chat soon.
PS: Sign-ups for Stitch from Stash 2015-B (Part 2) are opening very, very soon. Watch this page for more information in coming days. :)
My cross stitch blog of epic proportions. At least the projects are epic and huge. AND my reading review blog page! Watch for 80+ book reviews a year.

Volcano? - Dragons Update
** May SFS2015-A Reporting Link is in post below**
The mad rush is on... to try and get Dragons completed, framed and into exhibition/competition for June 24... I won't lie; it's not looking all that good.
Yes Dragons is coming along, and I made some amazing headway on the past long weekend we had here in Canada but I feel it's still not going to be enough. But we will see and I haven't given up hope yet.
While working through Dragons this time around I've been trying to get the smaller sections of changing color stitching done first. So up through the tree and branches. It's resulted in a really interesting look that to me is like a volcano.
So here's a quick snippet of last page of Dragons at almost half the page stitched. So close!
Can you see the volcano?
Every time I've picked up Dragons (almost every day this last 10 days in a row) I've gotten "The Final Countdown" song in my head. It truly is the home stretch here. So funny that 7.5 years of work comes down to a couple weeks to meet competition deadline. (PS: If I don't make this years deadline I can enter next year, but I'd really like to enter this year).
Thanks for stopping by and reading! Happy Stitching.
