Stash Report - Week 18 of 2015

It's been a beautiful weekend so far.  Highs in the low 80's and mostly sunny, though the mornings are still pretty cool.  It really seemed that Spring was taking it's sweet time in getting here this year, but it's definitely here now.  The pink roses just outside the dining room started blooming this week.  

The yellow roses on the other side of the front door haven't started blooming yet, but there are lots of little green buds popping up so it won't be much longer till they bloom too. 

Now that work has settled down some, I'm able to get back into the sewing room more regularly.  It shows in this week's stash report.  

Used last week:  0.70 yards
Used in April:  1.35 yards
Used year to date:  12.65 yards
Purchased year to date:  0 yards

Though I'm not burning through fabric at the rate I'd like, at least I'm making progress on using up some of the stash.  There's been no incoming fabric for 4 months.  That's a record for me, the longest I'd gone with no fabric purchases in the previous 5 years was 3 months.  Now if I can just get back on track with stitching for at least 15 minutes every day, I might use up a bit more fabric each week.  But even if I don't, I'm still happy with my progress so far this year.  If I can just keep it to more out than in, I'll be happy at the end of the year.  

I normally link up with Patchwork Times for the stash report most Sunday's.  Judy has a lot on her plate at the moment, her Mom has been ill and will need surgery.  So keep Judy's family in your prayers this week.
