On the 11th, I didn't do anything crafty; the other people in my house came back from vacation and I got distracted.

Yesterday (day 12), I worked on 99 a tiny bit; the shelf is two rows and I'm close to finished with the first one. I just need to sit down and do it instead of letting myself be distracted by other shinier things.

On days 7-10, I worked mostly on my Christmas card; I have the ornaments finished and only have the curls and the backstitching left to do; I don't know why they have the curls so close to the fabric color (in the picture from the kit, there's more of a contrast):

On day 12 I worked on a temperature bookmark, where you do a bit for each day with a color representing the high temperature. I did most of the orange stitches yesterday; I'm into June and it was warm. I already have the color for the highest high in there even though the high for the year was in July (DMC 3705, representing 94-97). I'm tempted to do a similar one for the low temperatures. I have more information about it at the bottom of a blog post from when I started it.

This isn't really a craft, but it's something that I did one day:

Nanoblocks Streets of Gion

I'm very tempted to start the current free project from Blackwork Journey if I have suitable fabric; it's only a little each month and wouldn't keep me away from other projects too much.

There have been times that when I didn't like the color that came with the kit (or on the chart) I just changed it. Are you supposed to backstitch the curls? That might give it more contrast.

I've seen the temperature project. If I did it for my city, it would be mostly the same color! :) Yours is very pretty.
