It's time for Pie!
As you can see, apart from Dark 13 and IHSW when I stitched on the Art Noeveau Head for N in my Alphabet Challenge, I focused on Nora Corbett's Capricorn. This is the third in the Zodiac Girls series I have stitched on the respective fabric from Sparklies.
This is the most heavily beaded and is going to be gorgeous!

I have a pie for my evening stitching too.

Finally, over to Stitch From Stash. I needed the beads for Capricorn. She's heavily beaded but luckily I had 4 of the packs already and just needed to buy three of them. I also bought the Kreinik and two different variegated red/purples to substitute for the Waterlilies. Those 3 cost the same as one skein of Waterlilies!
Obviously, I need the Lunar Calendar which was a great deal, all 12 for £14.80 plus the borders for the medium and large sampler. The Mill Hill beads came from someone destashing - 4 unopened packs for just £4.
Quite a spend this month but I've had a number of Zero months so far this year.

Gorgeous stitching. My hubby, the accountant would get a kick out of your pie chart.

With all those Zodiac stitchings, you must feel one star amond the others ah ah! I have seen Kreinik references on many patterns but never see the threads. How could you explain which difference they bring to the stitching? xxx
Ooooh Capricorn is looking lovely! You find the prettiest fabric!!
Waving hi as I make my blog rounds.

You've been very focused and on track this month, and it shows! Well done. I think your SFS spending has all been well justified this month, as well.
