WIP-it Wednesday...

...and Tour de Fleece update.

Tour de Fleece, Day 17
Craftcation Day 3:

Today's cleaning chore was vacuuming the living room and straightening up. Then I was able to concentrate on the fun stuff!

Technically, it was a rest day, but I went ahead and finished spinning the singles for Ember Indigo Silk. Then I moved on to the mermaid cross stitch. When I write it out it doesn't sound like much, but it filled my day!

Tour de Fleece, Day 18
Craftcation Day 4:

Before I went on vacation, I had ordered some fabric for my quilt. I expected it to arrive before my vacation, so I sent it to the office. Of course, it came after. Since I wanted to use it for the quilt, I dropped by the office to pick it up and then went to the grocery store to get more fruit.

I spent the day plying Ember Indigo Silk [Ravelry]:
