Wow I have extra money to spent! I did spent some this month but only on needles and lap stand. I have a floor stand for my scrolling frames but I really needed one for Q-snaps. I decided to go with K's Creation Z Lap Frame

I didn't buy stash for myself. I'm in the birthday club so it is a present - but according to our new rules stash is stash. When my birthday comes then I will get my presents (smiling).

All my new starts and all of them are from stash can be seen here.

I'm getting serious about stitching from stash in 2015 and I decided to dedicate a page just to that project so I can see easily my 'de-stashing' project. I'm doing the 'Crazy January Super Duper' challenge and I'm intending on starting 59 projects all from existing stash.

And here are the 'rules' ( just in case I need to refresh my memory)

In 2014 I've stayed very close to allowed budget. Some months I went waay over the board and some I did not spent any money. Unfortunately my stash pile did not get any smaller, I think it even grew a little... I have some finishes during the year, you can see them here. In 2015 I'm planning to do a little better, cross my heart.
