Frank's Family Portait & SFS March

I actually completed a week's worth of stitching on Frank's Family Portrait over a week ago but didn't post it then.  It's by Glendon Place.  Here's what the finished piece will look like:

I'm using the recommended 28 ct lugana in "Mire" color from Picture This Plus but it's not as vibrant as the model.  It still looks pretty neat.  So here's my progress after a week:

I knew my stitching time would be limited this past week due to some volunteer work I do so I picked up a small kit I had: Moonlight Madness: Triple Jack by Mill Hill.  I'm almost done with the stitching of the pumpkins but still have the border and all the beads to go.  Here's what the finished piece will look like (no progress pic yet):

And for my March Stitching from Stash totals: 

Carryover into March: $1.87

Purchases in March: $18.80

Total spent: $16.93

I bought some beads for my Camelot Sampler, some floss I needed for Frank, but the big purchase was the 365 Cross Stitch Designs bookazine.  Love it!

Camelot Sampler progress after week 2

I didn't have nearly as much stitching time this week as I've had in the weeks past but I still got a fair bit done on Camelot Sampler considering all the confetti stitches with blended threads.  The bottom part of the castle is visible!

Next I think I'm going to start a Halloween piece to get back to having a rotation of 3 projects.

Happy Stitching!
