Month: June
Spent: ???
Earned: $12
June finishes:
- Angel Procession (about 144x116 stitches = $12)
Counting half of the design since about half was stitched before 2015.
Not even going to do the math since I was over last month and didn't finish enough to catch up, and I'm not sure if I should count the birthday gifts my wife insisted that I purchase for myself. I feel like claiming a gift exemption is kind of cheating when I was the one who did the shopping, instead of receiving actual surprise gifts. Thing is, tastes in stitching are so personal, it would be hard to buy me something that I want without getting my input, so I dunno.
Anyway, this is my final SFS report so I won't get caught up in the details. :)
I've decided to leave the group for now as I would like the flexibility to pick up wishlist items when I have extra money in my (household) budget, and to sell old/unwanted supplies in order to purchase new ones. SFS is wonderful, and Mel is great to work with! It just doesn't fit with the way I want to manage my budget at this point in time.
My next post will have fun things like pictures, honest. :D
I'll miss your SFS journals but will look forward to pictures.
ReplyDeleteI think that should definitely count as an exemption ... if people allowed to pick a wish list and ask for their gifts to be chosen from it ... so why is not yours eligible for an exemption.
ReplyDeleteI would be sad to see you go. But I do understand ... everyone is different in their budgeting. If you do have extra capacity for spending then a tight budget might be constraining. Or like when we had the special spending weekends/months falling on those months with no spare cash. Anyhow, what I am trying to say is good luck! I personally will be persevering as the group is a great motivator for me.
