I didn't go to the bead store yesterday...but I did go to the yarn store. I picked up a skein of super soft pink yarn for leg warmers for DD and started knitting them up last night. Hopefully I will do a good job on them. For something so seemingly simple, I know I can manage to mess them up.

I didn't work on my skirt at all yesterday, aside from getting it all cut out. Maybe I'll work on it some today.

I was looking over my credit card statement and saw that DH and I have already had 8 no spend days for July. Given that we use it for the vast majority of our spending, that's a good sign.

This month has been the best month so far for sales in my store. Things had really been slowing down during the spring, so July has been a welcome change. I've been running some targeted Adwords ads, and I think that is helping.

Not much else to say. Dealing with a brewing headache this morning.

7/1 - 7/20:
Groceries: $226.49 (inlcudes household stuff too if I get it at the grocery store)
Dining: $72.03
Starbucks: $21.30

Total: $319.82 (about $15.99/day)

I'm about halfway done with one of the leg warmers. It looks like I'll need to buy another skein of yarn but will have some leftover (probably). I love this yarn - it's
