List's

 I finally worked out how to post this list,

 I find it interesting  to look back on my spend in 2015, 

Cardmaking was £253.18,
will be a lot less in 2016, my stash is looking good

Sewing was £40.00,
could be more if I get going, but I do have some stash

Gardening was £395.15,
no surprise how much I spend, should also be less this year as loads should regrow.

Cross stitch was £260.17,
who knows, it's my greatest love, so if I see any thing, it will be mine

expecting my spend to be about the same,
my stash of fabrics and threads is huge. 

I should add a section for wool if I want to knit and crochet.

I hope to loose £200 off my spend next year.
The red and blue figures were one off purchases

The third corner is finished, I got it done last night

I hope to have a finish soon, so I should be looking at what's next. 

 This is ticking all my boxes,

 I love the colours, the design, 

it's my one off original stitching 

 Popped to Tesco this lunch time, I had to get a few birthday cards

these marked at £4.00 rang in the till at £1.50

love the colours. 

My 52 in 2016 list so far.

I have loads of spaces to add things

number one has a line through, it's already completed.

So a good start to January, my hope is no spend on stash this month, the only let down will be if I see a real bargain, but even then I will have a think before parting with my money. 

I have already started working on my 52 in 2016, a few of them have been started, and hopefully will be ongoing all year. Much more fun than resolutions, which always are hard work in January.

I have started reading The Saffron Trail by Rosanna Ley, 1st book of the year.

Our first week in January is soon over, we had Josh and Sam for tea Tuesday, a cuddly time together. Last night we popped to see Su and David, I now have my instructions for the Wedding evening invitations, they will we out within a week, not so many parts. They are at the point where they are paying for every thing, so money is flying out, but they are also excited, as are we. 

Tomorrow we are away for our Christmas present to each other, back on Sunday, with Monday off, so a restful time ahead.
