STITCHING FROM STASH - MARCH

I know this is a little late but I wanted to share my stitching from stash!  I was bad this month as I joined the Passione Ricamo Anniversary mystery sampler cost $20. I had a few other purchases but they don't count as it was all birthday money. (gotta love Birthdays, unless you are in your 50's)  I did have a new start and will show it tomorrow!

Clean out your bag!

Hello,

Today I decided my tote bag needed to be cleaned out.  This bag I carry with me everywhere and has sadly accumulated a lot of junk!  I just thought I would share with you some of the things I carry in my tote bag.
This is in just a random order:

1. Cell Phone (which should go in my small purse)
2. Camera (which I don't use because I lost the memory card)
3.  4 pairs of scissors (yes, 4 because hey you never know when you might lose one)
4. 3 AAA batteries (you know for just in case.)
5. 3 small notebooks (hey a girl has to take notes, although 2 have nothing written in them and 1 has only 1 page written on)
6. 2 calendar/planner
7.  3 different types of light sources.  a flashlight, an ott light (just small but bright) and a magnifying light for when I can't see.  
8. 30 skeins of floss which I need to put on bobbins but left the bobbins at home.  Look at all the lovely blues
9. 6 tins of different sizes. (2 are empty, 1 has sharpies, 1 has orts, 1 has a paper clip and 1 has hardware for a sewing project)
10. 1 magazine
11. 6 rolls of washi tape and 1 roll of duct tape
12. 3 plastic containers (1 has small tiles that I was going to make pin keeps with, 1 has a few sharpies, and 1 holds my scissors)
13.  a small nemo that my daughter brought home from Disneyland.
14. my make-up bag.
15. 2 bottles of pills.
16 2 brushes
17. 2 samples of pills from a recent trip to the doctor.
18. my iPod
19. 2 bottles of Crystal light liquid
20. 1 package of gum
21. 1 small container of Screen Wipes and 1 small package of wet wipes.
22. a small clipboard (to hold the pattern for cross-stitch.
23.  a pair of reading glasses 
24. 1 Tide stick
25. 1 crochet hook (my other love)
26. 1 lip balm
27. 19 pens of various colors
28. an artist portfolio I made to hold all my pens
29. a pad of scrapbook paper
30. 27 sharpies
31. 2 dollar bills/ 2 gold dollars
32. a partial bag of carrot cake m&m's 
33. and last but not least my cross-stitch project.

I will post pictures when I get home, but can anyone beat all of that?

I have tried to clean this out before but it never lasts, I'm a self-proclaimed hoarder. Some of these things should never have been put in my bag especially the crystal light as one is a dark purple that would never come out if I accidentally spilled it on my cross-stitch.  

Things that I should have included:  my cross-stitch pattern (I think I left it home oops!) some hand lotion because my hands are so dry.
  
Who is ready to show their tote bag.  

Thanks for stopping by,

SFS2014 Feb. Posting

Hello,

I know this post is late and therefore will count as my month where I didn't report.  This is very sad because I did so well in the month of February.  In fact the only purchase I made was during the freebie weekend so I didn't really purchase anything.  My total would have been $0 spent.  I was going to make March my non-reporting month because it is my Birthday month.  I really haven't gotten much done on my Proud Iris and hope to post pictures soon.
