Day 17: A Change of Pace AND Day 18: Fix-it Friday
Day 17
I didn't find time for crafting until we got to our screen break time in the evening, and I was pretty brain and spoon fried. So I pulled out my current latch hook project and put 2+ rows into it:
The first photo shows where I started, and the second shows where I finished. Taken mostly because when I finished last night, it didn't seem like I had done anything, but the photo SHOWS the progress.
[ID: two photos of a latchhook rug canvas partially filled in with dark pink, white, and green yarn; the second photo shows a few more rows done than the first photo. End ID]
Day 18
I had a whole bunch of little things needing repair pile up, and I decided today would be a good day for repairs.
First, some earrings - one earring needed a new earwire, and the second earring (Bajoran style) needed a dangly reattached.
[ID: Two photos of 3 dangly earrings, in mostly silver and purples; the first before the repair, and the second after the repair. End ID]
Then, I had a stuff-it bag with a rip, and K's apron, where one of the ties had come off. I sewed the rip in the bag, which took THREE tries, because the nylon fabric is cheap, and then sewed the apron tie back on. I also caught another apron tie that was coming loose, and sewed that as well.

During our family screen break time, after I had done a bunch of chores, I finished wrapping the last four faux grape stems with floral tape:

I might get the stems put in at stitch-in tomorrow.
