I’ve done nothing in terms of quilting or using up fabric these last couple of weeks.  I took a bunch of knitting with me so I have some yarnage used! 🙂  I also didn’t buy any fabric or spend any money on crafting.  All good stuff.  I’ve been busy and distracted by the world events and my own crazy life.

For the fabric stash:  

• Used this week: 0 yards
• Used year to date: 65.5  yards
• Added this week: 0 yards
• Added year to Date: 102.472 yards
• Net ADDED for 2016: 36.972 yards

For the Budget: 

I really tried to buy stuff in Colorado but the quilt shop we went to wasn’t open during the hours yelp and their door sign said that they would be open.  It was a small town shop and the shopkeeper next door said the owner recently broke her arm.  I understand that stuff happens but it wouldn’t have been hard for her to tell her neighbor to put a sign on the door saying that the shop would be open at 1pm instead of the normal hours.  I would have had time to go to another shop instead of waiting around had I known.  Oh well.  It was good for my pocketbook and my budget as I ended up not buying anything. Road2CA is coming up and I really need to start getting my supplies together. I’ll be working on that over the next coming months so all spending on this end will be towards that.

Spent this week: $0.00

Spent year to date: $4,499.85

For the yarn stash:

I finished my Clipper beanie for Jacob.  Here it is on his head!
