I've had the Learning Sampler on my frame for the last two weeks as I've not really had as much time to stitch as I would like. Here's my before and after pictures.
I am really enjoying learning the new speciality stitches and hope to incorporate them into lots more projects in the future.
I've signed up to join in with the Stitching Bandits Chatelaine Challenge. So I'm committed to working on one of my Chatelaines at least one week each month. I think for consistency and so I remember I will work on it the first week of each month. I'm going to be concentrating on the Seaside Mystery and look forward to making progress with it.
I'm slowly but surely starting (again!) to make an inventory of all the charts I own so that when I come to start a new project I can see all the ones I have. I'm trying to categorise them by size and type so that if I finish a small project I can add another small one in it's place so I'm not constantly stitching BAPs! Will have to see how it goes!
I'm hoping in the next few months we will have sorted things out enough in our house that I can finally transform our spare room into my crafting room. I'm also hoping that once everything is organised and in one place it will make it much easier to see where I am up to with all my projects.
The next rotation on my frame is the model stitch for Northern Expressions Needlework and this is going to be my focus project which I intend to work on for two weeks out of every month. I think I may put those two weeks together so I see more progress.
My next update will also include my update on the Stitch from Stash challenge. We have been given an exemption this month and are allowed to spend an additional $100 dollars. Unfortunately as much as I would like a splurge there is no actual money in my budget to allow me to do so and I'm just sticking to the original budget.
And last but not least I would love it if you would head over and check out my cousins brand new cross stitching design business. It's called KLT Charting and the website can be found here and the Facebook page here. Thanks for looking. I'll show you in my next post the two charts I bought this month out of my stitch from stash budget.
Keep stitching, smiling and destashing

Beautiful progress and lovely stitching!
You're making great progress with the Learning Sample, I like the colours you've chosen.
And yes, having no money makes it easier to Stitch from Stash!
