Day 15

This was a travel day. I had a seat mate on this flight, so I knitted. One hat finished, and about a half of another (not pictured)

I got home early enough to attend Wednesday stitch-in, so I did, stitching coral thread into the mouse ears on the current cross stitch, where I didn't have to frog anything, because I didn't have to count!

And then, I used the last bit of stitch-in to finish the (second) hat that I'd started on the plane.

Day 16
I was playing chores catchup, while trying to recover from my trip, so I didn't get much done. But I did get many of the facial features on the mouse stitched in, and some detail in the torso area.

Day 17

This was a VERY busy day, and I was only able to craft a little bit in the evening. I got most of the holly stitched on the current cross stitch piece. I ran out of green thread about 6 stitches short of finishing, and for the life of me I can NOT find the rest of the green thread. So I stopped. The chart has the DMC color number, and I probably have it in my stash, but I was really too tired to go find it.
